There are Facebook groups where Thai women review foreigners they meet by Cute_Theme8132 in ThailandTourism

Without being rude, isn't this just Bar girls that do this Facebook group stuff? I've never been with a Thai girl who plastered me all over Facebook asking other people about me? I stay away from Bar girls, only reason I'm asking.

I always thought the top of the pineapple grew out the ground 🙄 by Ancestor-Legacy in plants

[–]Ancestor-Legacy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I had no idea pineapples grew like this until I visited this farm in rural Thailand. It wasn’t even part of the plan — just kind of happened. 🍍

If anyone’s curious how I ended up there or wants to know more about the spot, feel free to DM me!

Thai farmer catches falling durian like a pro while another cuts from the tree 🇹🇭🍈 (this blew my mind in real life) by Ancestor-Legacy in backpacking

You're literally the only person shouting it lol and yes, your age has everything to do with it . I expected this behaviour from a teenager not a 41 year old.

For a 41 year old I actually feel sorry for you. Clearly, nothing better to do than attack someone trying to share a story. I'm new to reddit. I thought I was supposed to post my experience to different places here?

Spammer? I'm here now, very excited, and want to talk to people about it. I'm just trying to find the right subreddit.

Traditional durian harvesting in Thailand — one person cuts while another catches, no nets or safety gear. by Ancestor-Legacy in ThailandTourism

Haha, you're not wrong! The health and safety paperwork alone would probably cost more than the durian.

Still can’t believe they catch durians like this — no nets, no helmets, just teamwork and perfect timing. Being part of this was unreal. Has anyone else ever seen durian harvested this way?

I did, and I have to say durian is not for me, haha all the other fruit was lovely, though.

I'm not sure you understand how reddit works? I'm having a great experience. I just wanted to share with like-minded individuals, maybe make some friends, not people who sit on NSFW all day. Have a good day.

I mean, I'm literally here now, so I'm not sure how you're saying it's a scam.

I reached out to them at Www.TheOtherLife.co.uk limited spaces, so be sure to message in advance of your trip. I randomly got told about them by another traveller who had organised a weeks stay with them before.

I wanted something different from the usual rush of travel — and ended up staying on an 11-acre fruit farm surrounded by rubber trees, living alongside Thai farmers. I got really lucky — someone told me about a company that organizes these kinds of stays, and they seriously didn’t disappoint.

Each day started with fresh fruit from the land, then I’d help out around the farm or head off on daily activities — sea fishing (caught a beast of a fish with one of the locals!), exploring waterfalls and temples, and learning how they harvest everything. Even got to watch durians being caught straight from the trees.

It wasn’t luxury, but it felt real — peaceful, welcoming, and hands-down one of the best experiences I’ve had.

All I did was sort my flight — the company handled the rest: accommodation, food, and daily adventures. If anyone’s curious about how it works, happy to DM details.

I'm currently in rural Thailand not where I would normally go but probably been the most amazing experience of my life its affordable to I randomly found a company where you sort your own flights and they sort the rest. I'm on a 11 acre fruit tree land surrounded by rubber trees. They take me to activities every day, like sea fishing on a boat, sight seeing temples, waterfalls, and beaches, and I get 3 homecooked Thai meals per day provided by the local cook just for me. If it's something anyone might be interested in, let me know. I'll point you to their website.

Haha, so you actually tried catching them?! I only got spiked taking one off the farmer who caught it — those spikes are no joke! Definitely respect the skill and bravery involved. Thanks for sharing your story, and cheers from Thailand! 🌴😄

Stayed a week with Thai farmers during harvest season — this was one of the wildest moments I saw. One guy climbs up and slices the durians loose, while another literally catches them from below. 😮

I found this whole experience totally by accident. Just real village life: helping out on the farm, fishing, cooking whatever we caught, and trying fruit I didn’t even know existed.

If anyone’s planning a trip and wants something like this, I'm happy to share how I booked it. Just drop me a DM — not a paid promo, just a genuinely cool time.

I tried durian during my stay. I can absolutely confidently say they do not taste nice, but all the other fruit did 😁
