Pak Khlong Talat

Pak Khlong Talat is located on Chak Phet Road near Memorial Bridge in old Bangkok. It is Thailand's largest fresh flower and cut-flower wholesale market, with its busiest trading hours starting in the small hours of the morning, around three or four a.m. Florist shops, hotels, temples and street flower vendors across Bangkok source their stock here. The market also includes fruit and vegetable sections and operates around the clock year-round.

The market trades in roses, orchids, lotus buds, jasmine garlands and other cut flowers and religious offerings, sold in bunches and sacks, alongside fruit and vegetables. For Chinese exporters, it offers insight into Thailand's produce wholesale chain, and is relevant to suppliers of horticultural materials, floral packaging, cold-chain equipment and processed fruit and vegetable products that feed into this daily flow.
