The story

Rayong Fruit Festival in Rayong

A week-long harvest fair at the Rayong Provincial Central Stadium celebrating the province's identity as the Fruit Basket of Thailand, timed to the May peak of durian, mangosteen, and rambutan season. It combines discounted grower stalls, an all-you-can-eat fruit buffet, a fruit parade, judged fruit contests, and a Miss Fruit Gardener pageant.

Durian growers around Rayong open their orchards to the province's biggest agricultural showcase each year, a week-long fair centered on the Rayong Provincial Central Stadium that locals bill as the largest fruit festival in Thailand.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The all-you-can-eat fruit buffet is the festival's most distinctive draw, letting visitors sample unlimited helpings of whatever tropical fruit is at peak ripeness that week rather than buying by weight

02

The mystery stays covered

Around it runs a full agricultural pageant format rarely seen at food festivals elsewhere: a fruit parade through the fairgrounds, judged competitions scoring growers on size and quality, and a Miss Fruit Gardener contest that gives the harvest celebration a civic, festival-queen dimension alongside the produce stalls themselves
