London
has its Covent Garden, Paris has Les Halles, Bangkok has Pak
Khlong Talat which is the biggest fresh flower market in the
city. The Thai people have a great appreciation for fresh
flowers, both for the beauty and the fragrance. This is where
those who have time and the florists come to buy their flowers
at wholesale prices. The variety includes roses, daisies and
more exotic species
such
as orchids in every colour and shade imaginable. Most of
the flowers are grown in the neighbouring provinces of Nakhon
Prathom, Samut Sakon and Samut Songkram although the best
roses come from the cooler climate in Chiang Mai and Chiang
Rai. Unfortunately, the main activities at the market take
place late at night and in the early morning but there are
flower sellers there all day and in the surrounding streets.
