His most recommended fruit is Dorian
A section of “Thai flowers-fruit trees, vegetables and leaf petals” have been launched and posted on Facebook. Photos from Thai group members and FB friends are also posted. During my stay in Thailand, whenever I visit a temple, I take pictures when I find beautiful flowers and trees in its garden.
However, the situation that I haven’t been able to go there in the last few years due to Corona situation. I often go to tropical botanical gardens around Japan (Also introduced in this blog) to take pictures, look for books to look up names in the library, and ask people living in Thailand. Recently, I learned that it has become easier to check using special application for smartphone.
Photos are also posted in the “Thai Flower Series” page on the Wat Japan website. However, unfortunately, the name, shooting location and time for those flowers is not completely mentioned. Please visit website as below.

Let me post a mail from Mr. Mizukoshi as below.
A few days ago, I found an evening edition featured as the situation of Thai Dorian. In Thailand, it was said that “a fruit that I want to eat even if I put my wife in the pawnbroker”, and I also ate it every year during my stay in Thailand.
Even after returning from Thailand, I was buying it that cost 7,000 to 8,000 yen at that time. Now you can buy it for 1-2 thousand yen.
It has a unique scent and is prohibited from being brought into airplanes or hotels, and children criticize it at home.
Known as the king of fruits, when the season comes, I want to eat it.
A few words from Suchitoo;
Unfortunately, delicious Thai fruits import into Japan are having some restriction. Canned food is possible, but I don’t see it at Kaldi, which sells imported foods. There are many Thai restaurants in Japan, so if you make a joint purchase, it will be cheaper … I think as a fan of Dorian. However, each fruit has a season, and the season is short, so it is the best to eat it locally. There are mango, papaya, longan (Ram Yai), banana (Year round), rambutan (Ngo), mangosteen, lynch and pineapple. Northern area of Thailand is famous for its delicious fruit regions.
