Ter nagedachtenis aan Hare Majesteit Koningin Sirikit de Koningin-Moeder. Voor altijd in ons hart
Bangkok’s vibrant flower market is a colorful and fragrant highlight of many tours. Known locally as Pak Khlong Talat, it is the city’s largest wholesale flower market and operates almost 24 hours a day. Here, stalls overflow with orchids, roses, jasmine garlands, and marigolds used for temples, celebrations, and daily offerings. Florists, street vendors, and temple visitors come here early in the morning to buy fresh flowers that will soon decorate homes, shrines, and ceremonies across the city. Walking through the market is a sensory experience. The bright colors, delicate scents, and bustling activity create a lively atmosphere that reflects Bangkok’s deep connection to tradition and religion. For travelers, the flower market offers wonderful photo opportunities and a chance to see an authentic local marketplace that most visitors never discover.
