Pak Khlong Talat (Flower Market)
ปากคลองตลาด
Bangkok's largest wholesale flower market, open 24 hours, with heaps of jasmine garlands and colourful orchids.
The flower market lies south of Wat Pho on the bank of the Chao Phraya River. It was originally a fish market and is now the city's hub for flowers, vegetables and fruit. Wholesale trade is busiest from before dawn until early morning, when you can see workers hand-threading jasmine garlands for offerings, marigolds and orchids of every colour, all very inexpensive. Entry is free. The market is about a 5-minute walk from Sanam Chai MRT station, and it suits a visit before exploring the old town in the early morning, or a stop on the way back after enjoying the evening view of Wat Arun.
