About
More of a wholesale market than a shopping experience, the fresh flower market has become a tourist attraction thanks to its sheer size, beauty and exoticism.

The flower market bustles with nonstop activity! We visited after watching the sunset on the riverside near Wat Pho. It’s about a 10 min walk from wat pho. There are many sections to the market. Stroll around and observe how each person has a specific task to perform. Colorful natural flowers, garlands, plastic flowers etc are found in bunches, on ice, hanging, in buckets etc. It’s very picturesque.

The Bangkok Flower Market Area is a great place to visit. Starting at 7am you can combine a visit to the Flower Market with a tour of Wat Pho & the Royal Grand Palace. Take the MRT to Sanam Chai and turn right over the MemorialBridge and in 100m you have the flower markets on either side of the road. If you like living like a local, take the bus & hop off right in front of the I.C.P. Flower Market. The I.C.P. market is the best for photos and talking to the local florists. You will be anaxed by the cours, the variety and the sheer numbers of flowers dold on a dsily basis. I bought 10 bunches of flowers from different stalls for 400 Bhat & gave them to the lady food vendors and others on the street. An early visit is best to avoid crowds and the heat.

It was 5 pm when we arrived at this huge covered market: skilled workers were stringing buds, making wreath and flower arrangements for temples.
There's an amazing variety of flowers,orchids, chrysanthemums and above all the fabulous lotuses!
They were being packed delicately but at speed in large lotus leaves,then into huge, deep baskets to be flown to Singapore and other parts of the world.
The hard work and sheer skill of these men and women left us amazed.
We also wandered in adjacent streets and discovered wholesale vegetables, salads and greens.
It's a feast for the eye, a beautiful opportunity to take photographs and above all,to see the real active Bangkok.
Don't miss this,and go back to your hotel with a fresh bunch of fabulous flowers!

Very underwhelmed after reading such good reviews. If anything, I left here feeling very sorry for the hard working people having camera lenses shoved in their face by tourists with no interest in buying their goods. It isn’t designed to have lots of people walking up and down, and locals were fed up as the tourism is likely putting off paying customers.
I have only given it 2 stars as I would feel bad for the stall owners putting 1.

Flower market which also has lots of stalls selling fruit and vegetables. Prices are good and people are friendly if you have money.
We go to buy fruit and vegetables by the kilo as the quality and price are excellent, And we also get to look at all the flowers.

We visited the market along with our guide. The market is very big with many similar stalls and one can get easily lost. As expected a lot of flowers & flower arts. The market also has some vegetable & food stalls nearby.

The world of flowers.Gives you a first hand experience of a local market. I am told it is one of the biggest flower markets in Asia. Busy throughout the day.Be careful to let people pass as everyone is so busy. Small walking spaces in between hundreds of flower shops and activities everywhere. Some local eateries also serve the workers. A wonderful smell wafts the air of different types of flowers.

This is not a tourist attraction. This is real working flower market. Beautiful flowers, other items for sale but predominately flowers. Watch them make the flower offerings and funeral offerings. It is crowded. Be mindful of the scooters that use the aisles just like the pedestrians. Authentic and genuine and chaotic experience.

Bustling local flower and fruit market. Predominantly for temple/shrines. It's great to see a slice of local life and everyone is so friendly. Some bargains to be had too and don't forget to negotiate. When finished can get the bus or the boat

Hello,
I am getting married in Phuket and have a family member going to Bangkok, who has offered to get flowers and greenery for me before the wedding as my wedding planner is charging a bomb for flowers.
Is it possible to get in touch with a vendor to ore order what I need?
Any additional advise would be much appreciate.
Kind regards
Aleisha

There are several vendors at the market and they all want to sell. I bought flowers on my visit and it is very affordable. However, I don’t know if they can assist you in transporting them to Phuket.

They open pretty early. 5 AM. If you can get there early before the afternoon, before the tourists and the crowds comes.

They say that the best time is at about 4 or 5 a.m. We've only been during the afternoon and early evening and there's always been plenty of flowers to see in the many stalls selling them. Personally, I think that there's an advantage to going at a quieter time - you have more direct access to see the flowers without many people rushing around you making deliveries or trying to make their sales/purchases.
