Is mangosteen worth growing? expat life style in Thailand
We are starting to harvest our mangosteens here in Thailand. I'm surprised at what it sells for here .Mangosteen comes ripe at the same time as durian. This is a Pluss as it supplements are income in addition to our durian sales . As an expat it definitely is a good source of income for the family . By having a family farm here in Thailand growing monthong durian and mangosteen definitely makes a huge difference in our families income. making retirement much more secure with this additional income .
Sure we can invest in other things but this life style is awesome

Hi, love to see it! We have abaut 7 rai of dense planted Mangosteen trees, this year will be the first in 10 years, that I visit the farm in earning season. Cant wait to see the farm in full ripe fruit trees 😂. We are in the south, so the earning will be in september and some of the old durian trees which are blended in this Mangosteen land will also have ripe fruits. I never teasted durian ban before, so I will make a bunch of new experience this year 😊. Do you give fertilizer to the Mangosteen yearly? Looks like my parents in law dont do it every year. Kind regards, Chris.

Hi Chris That's awesome it's really fun to pick the mangosteen and durian . They taste great fresh from the tree. Yes we fertilize our mangosteen bi yearly
Living the dream, sir! My wife and I have the goal to do something similar in Buriram in about 10 or so years. Just padding our 401k's and saving for our Thai house so our bills are low once we move from Texas.

From the time we pick them it's about 5 days until the taste starts to turn if not refrigerated
What kind of fertiliser are you putting on them?

Do you ever think about farming rubber? I'd think you could make good money with natural rubber.

I had over 7 hectares of rubber trees that makes very little money .Durian is much more profitable .My advice is don't grow it

Our farm is spaced 7m x 7m . We only top them to prevent them from growing to tall so it's easy to harvest
