The Chanthaburi fruit festival takes place at a time of the year when the abundent fruit crops are at their best. The festival is held to celebrate all of the wonderful fruit that grows in the area.
There are many stalls selling all the different varieties of each fruit. The festival is centered mainly around the lake in Taksin Park and has floats both on water and on land that are amazingly built of fruit. There are competitions and prizes for the best durians and rambutans. Local crafts are also on offer. Some of the orchards give tours. There is a full entertainment programme on offer too.
Chanthaburi offers a fantastic selection of fruits to try, including sweet rambutans, pomelos and the unusual durian fruit. There are prizes during the festival for such things as the best fruit display and the best tasting fruit.
Visitors can enjoy the festival and the fruit that has been grown in the 'fruit bowl of Thailand'.
