Its a Durian (Durio zibethinus), close relative to tropical Soursop (annonna Muricata). I guess?

I would have said Durian as well but the spikes don't look long enough to me... Perhaps a Jackfruit?

The pronunciation of part of its name, in English means "protected from the wind". I have no idea what it means in its mother tongue.

I am now clueless so don't ask.
