TL;DR
Durian season on Phu Quoc is in summer, when it is sold at almost every fruit stall. Whole, unpeeled durian was reported at about 30,000–50,000 VND per kg in season; outside the peak, it is still available but scarcer and more expensive.
Durian can still be found on Phu Quoc after the summer peak, but fewer vendors sell it and prices are noticeably higher than in season.
In summer, durian is widely sold around Phu Quoc at regular fruit stalls, so travelers generally do not need to seek out specialist vendors.
A summer price guide is from 30,000 VND per kg, more commonly around 40,000–50,000 VND per kg. This price is for whole, unpeeled durian.
