Durian Burung

Durian Burung is a small border town of Kedah state, Malaysia. Near the border is Ban Prakop of Songkhla, Thailand. This border crossing is the second border crossing from Kedah state to Songkhla province. The first border is located at Bukit Kayu Hitam at the Malaysian side and Sadao town at the other side.[1][2][3]

The name comes from the Malay Durian Burung (lit. 'bird durian'), and refers to the durian species Durio graveolens.[4][5]
