My brother lives in Thailand and he told me of a market that sells certain days of the week....I wonder if this is it? He said the orchids are amazing and now I can agree with him. Amazing!

Hi everyone

This is the main venue for orchids sales out of a market in Bangkok as far as I know. The sell a lot of hybrids and species. A number sell flasks at the markets too.

It is very easy to get to. Just ask the taxi to take you to Jatujak market or the Weekend Markets - they should not it. The orchid market I mentioned in across the road opposite the Royal food market. Locals should be able to direct you if you are in town. If I can find a map, I will post it.

Jatujak is the only market I know of that runs Wed/Thurs.

I will add more pics as I take them.

Id love to live near that, however it would mean an overflowing greenhouse and a very empty checking account.
