It is usually a round to oval fruit, with a pointed tip (similar to a pear), growing on a very short-stemmed palm.
What I was curiously attracted to, was its leathery skin, which is reddish-brown and resembles the scaly skin of a snake; hence why the fruit is also known as snakefruit (could have been a hint to its taste).
Best way to eat - if you’re up for an interesting experience - is to peel it: pinch the tip of the fruit and pull away.

The three- to four-hour drive starts at Ubud and heads east through Peliatan - the village famous for its graceful legong dancing - to the 17th-century capital of Klungkung (close your car windows when approaching so corrupt local cops don't see you and thus won't stop your car for a non-existent entrance fee).
The road then heads south to the coast for glimpses of Penida Island and Lombok and on to Manggis, Tenganan, Candidasa and Karangasem, winding through paddies and snakefruit orchards along the slopes of Gunung Agung.
It's stunning through here and by the time you reach Muncan and Langsat villages you should be ready to soak it all up with that swim before the drive back to Ubud through Bangli village.

In season (peaking in April-June and several months thereafter) durians are in evidence everywhere in Chanthaburi, in open-air markets, piled high in pickup trucks, stacked in warehouses, and in food shops in various processed forms like durian chips, paste, frenchfries, and candies.
Every year in May or June, the people of Chanthaburi create a big festival celebrating and promoting and enjoying the bountiful fruit harvest (Chanthaburi also grows huge quantities of other delectable tropical fruits, including mangosteens, rambutans, salak ["snakefruit"], longkong [sweet langsat], jackfruit, mangos, banana, papayas, coconuts, sapodillas, pineapples, and more.
As I've shared about elsewhere on this site and the Chanthaburi Fruit Fair site (www.masterworksunlimited.com/Thailand/fruitfair.htm), the most spectacular aspect of the festival is the parade of fruit floats, made of thousands of tropical fruits masterfully artistically designed into incredible patterns, scenes, animals, buddhas, dragons, mandalas, and structures.
