Durian originated in Malaysia and was introduced to Thailand during Dacheng Dynasty. In Malay, durian is called "Tuliang", while in Thai, it has always been called "durian".

It was introduced from Tahuai, Mali and Naoshi in Myanmar. There are also two legends about this. One is 1787. When the Siamese army attacked Myanmar, it tried to seize his arms, but failed to conquer it. During the siege. Due to the difficulty in transportation and the lack of food and grass in the army, the generals had to order their soldiers to look around for wild fruits to satisfy their hunger. The soldiers found a huge prickly fruit durian in the forest. When they tried to cut it open, it was unexpectedly sweet and delicious. Later, when going back and forth to Bangkok, many officers and men took durian stones with them and planted them around their houses. It is said that durian trees have been growing in the yards of the descendants of officers and men who have been to Myanmar 100 to 150 years before Bangkok. These durian trees became extinct due to two floods: 187 1 and 1942. The second type was introduced into southern Thailand by merchant ships between Thailand and Myanmar, and later spread from Surat Thani to Bangkok and other places.
