popular cable TV show The Food Hunter in the USA and Canada
(center), and Chatri Sowantrakul, second-generation owner and caretaker of the
La-Ong Fa heritage durian orchard in Nakhon Nayok province in central
Thailand (right), sample rare durian varieties in the orchard in June
2003. Friendly international greengrocer Pete Luckett and crew travel the world investigating and filming fascinating exotic fruits and vegetables (and countries). In June 2003 they came to Thailand to film a show on durian. The crew contacted Nirav through this website for horticultural and logistical assistance, and invited him to also appear in the show. The Food Hunter's excellent and exotic Thailand durian episode is now appearing throughout North America on the popular cable TV channel, "The Food Channel." Watch for it! :-) |
