basically the thai durian no smell one if compare to the one we use to, it sucks. saw the MSW selling 1400 baht for like one box.

tried their big durian, tasted abit like msw, but not cheap also ...
but the flesh is alot ...

Apple asking where to find unrip maprang then you say unrip one can find in market and normally use in somtam. So most people will assume you say maprang use in somtam?

oic, my bad, probably i read too quickly

I haven't seen the green maprang yet, most are ripe orange which can be eaten directly (including the skin).

if street hawker in pratunam area selling, i suspect might be thai balonglong & not maprang

I never seen any green maprang on sale in my live, only orange maprang. I think no body sell green/ unripe maprang.
Somtam got 2 types, 1 green mango, another green papaya. Ingredient choose is those unripe type so that it will have a sour taste.

yah most people will only buy the ripe ones coz nicer to eat
the green ones are super sour but also nice when used in some peranakan dishes
guess there's no demand so very difficult to find
that time we chanced upon a vegetable seller who happened to be selling it
not easy to spot among all the green green round round stuff in bags hanging from their cart

Not including massage all that? Anyway, 70-100 per day should be fine, per pax. It can be lower, I just mark up a little.
