SE Asia Durian season, come join!
WE WOULD LOVE MORE OF YOU TO COME.....Its Happening!
I am in Chanthiburi with 4 durian lovers....Harley, Freelea, Sunnied, and a very cool new raw foodist from Czechislovakia. We are devouring delicious durian varieties daily like: Montthong, chanee, Pomonee, Ganyao, etc..
This week long World Durian Festival festival kicked off today and there are massive amounts of fresh local durians available for as low as 60cents(USprice)/kilo!! I saw rambutans and Mangosteens, bigger and fresher than ever for 25cents(USprice)/kilo. Many other fruits available for cheap everywhere like Pineapples, Papaya, melons, jackfruit, Langsats, 'Nandakmy" Mangos, and sweet as ever coconuts.
I am enjoying morning bodymovements by the lake and daily country bike rides, excellent coversations about Natural Hygiene, and Constant and never ending improvement in our health, environmental care, understanding and compassion for others that aren't as fortunate to know this raw healthy way of life.
The Thai people are so gentle, generous, interested, and special. I feel more than welcome here and am honored to take part in their wonderful durian event.
If you cant be in Chanthiburi by June 15th, then we will all be in PENANG, Malaysia for an even better Durian quality, taste and season...with lots of treking, swimming in waterfalls, swimming in ocean, cycling, etc....
Approximate dates to be in Penang with us are June 15th-July 15th, Plane tickets to Kuala Lumpur are cheap now (take a bus from KL to Penang for approximately $15, no prebooking necessary), feel free to come join the Durian season with us!

I am seriously considering it. The only thing is I know that if I come I wont leave. I went to Costa a few months ago when i should of gone to SE asia. If the tickets to bangkok weren't 700 round trip that would be more of an incentive. Once I sell my business here, I'm defiantly moving there permanently. So one way or another I will be hanging with all of you. And if it isnt this year it will be the next.
Hope you guys are having the best time ever. Send pics my way.

I ate so much durian the other night that I Hurt for 3hours...this was soo humbling after 16months in SE asia eating durian mostly....it is a powerful addicting fruit that gets better every day. I decided to take one day off of eating durian the following day. But I began wanting it again about 2pm. Next thing I know some Thai guys opened 3durian at a picnic table in a National park. I decided to eat it because I didn't actually seek it out or pay for it. This led to more eating later on of course. Now I am back on track eating enough, but not MORE than enough.
Did yoga and strength training at our Country concrete simple studio, Went cycling, then went swimming in a resivoir here in Chantiburi today...great work out and calorie burn...love to build up my appetite for our durian 5pm dinner!
I just had the most deliciously sweet fresh pressed sugar cane juice 24ounces for .60cents (US price).
Time for a one Thai hour massage by the lake for 100baht ($3US price), I have found the Thai massage to be the best in the world. They actually move you and stretch you and focus more on lower body, and glutes and they use No oil or terrible lotions........
come get one too
See you soon TODD!

good distinction, Loren. As usual, 'You da Man'!
Thanks Loren. Makes sense to me. My problem is that when I blend (which means more volume of fruits) then i am more regular with my bowels. What I can eat & chew doesn't always trigger peristalsis in the same way. I had chemo a few years back and ...
