Flowers are a common sight on the streets of Bangkok, and various floral arrangements can be found at almost every venue in the city, but have you ever wondered where the majority of these flowers come from? With Valentine's Day fast approaching, the team at Centre Point HQ thought we would let our guests in on a little-known place that is certainly not on most visitors’ itineraries, Pak Khlong Talat, the Bangkok Flower Market. Open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, Pak Khlong Talat is the place where the majority of the flowers you see in Bangkok (and all over the country) come from and feature a massive selection of local and international blooms. If you're looking for a unique outing this Valentine's Day, this fantastic market could be it. With a kaleidoscope of colors, a barrage of delicious scents, and a unique atmosphere, you can almost feel the romance in the air.
To get there, take the MRT to Sanam Chai Station, exit, and walk across the Memorial Bridge. For an even more romantic option, why not use the Chao Phraya River boat and disembark at the Pak Khlong Talat Pier, which is very close to the market? Whichever route you choose to get to Pak Khlong Talat, you will find it straightforward from any of our Bangkok Centre Point hotels. Do something memorable this Valentine's Day by visiting Pak Khlong Talat, a perfect place to visit any time of year, but even more so on February 14th!
