Bang Nara
Bang Nara is a GI name covering durian (Monthong, Chanee, Kanyao and some Musang King) grown across nine districts of Narathiwat, in Thailand's deep south. The GI calls for fine, fairly dry, deep-yellow flesh with low fiber and a rounded sweetness. It is the latest-ripening durian here, harvesting after the rest of the country because of the wetter tropical climate. Registered as a GI in 2024, one of the newest.
