Bangkok Land announced that those attending the grand opening of its durian market at 5pm on Saturday will get free durians until the 10-tonne quota runs out.

Among the facilities, Bangkok Land has opened a community mall, a university, office buildings, hotels, Impact Speed Park for go-kart racing, and hotels around the town.

The durian market will be part of its Ruam Jai fresh market, the company said.

During the opening ceremony, there will also be a durian-eating competition and the winner will get one large basket of durians.
