Flowers are an integral part of Thai culture. Flowers play vital role in worshiping and offerings. It has significance in spiritual and cultural life. This is so much similar to our Indian culture. Just like our flower markets Thai flower markets are also a delight to eyes. All different kinds of flowers from Jasmine to marigold to orchids to lotus to many varieties can be found in multiple of colors.
Ton Lamayai flower market is next to Wararot market in Chiang Mai, Thailand. One fresh morning, I took a small walk along the flower market which lies parallel to Ping river. It was a day before Songkran festival and the market was busy. There were fresh flowers coming in from the trucks and coquitlam flower delivery shop keepers were busy piling them up and sorting it. Garlands of jasmine were neatly arranged on the ice pieces to avoid them wilting to the summer heat. We can see garlands of jasmine decoration in many vehicles like tuk tuks and songthaew.
There were all possible colors of flowers. White, red, yellow, lavender, blue, green, peach or name any color. Some flowers were mix of 2-3 colors and everything in the market was fresh.
It was not only eye candy but cheap on pocket as well. Join me in relishing the beauty of the flowers from Ton Lamayai flower market.
Few meters from the gate you can smell the scent of freshflowers. From its sweet fragrance, you can tell that it’s the scent of rose
flowers. This scent always made me hold my breath, wanting this to remain in my
system. This scent will grow stronger as you approach the gate and enter this
little garden of mine planted with varieties of flowering plants. Flowers of
different colors that will amaze your eyes and will invite you to stand or sit
and stay for a while.
at themiddle of this garden is a little bahay kubo. A little house made of bamboo and
anahaw leaves. It measures 3 square meters. It has bamboo chairs and a cradle
made of abaca fibers hanging inside it. A perfect place for a nap after a day
long of work. A perfect place for rest that i always feel my legs cramping and
my eyes becoming heavy, i always wanted to sleep in this cradle while listening
to the birds chirping and smelling the scent of the different flowers. This is
my little paradise.
therow of flowering plants started from the very gate of the garden. Two rows of
drift wood planted with different varieties and colors of vanda are so arranged
so it formed an aisle from the gate to the main door of the balkonahe. Violet,
white, yellow and crimson are the dominant colors from this row. Get More Information
