Things To Do In Thailand: Bangkok’s Biggest Flower Market (Pak Khlong Talat)

Pak Khlong Talat is by far the biggest flower market in Bangkok. Here at the 24 hour market, no matter what time you visit, there is always special thing you can see. And no matter when you visit, you will always feel a GREAT, CULTURAL, and AUTHENTIC vibe from the real Bangkok locals.

Although the market opens 24 hours a day, visiting in a daytime and nighttime will give you a little bit different experiences. Here at the 4th biggest flower market in the world, if you visit after the sunset, it will be crowded since it’s a busy time for flower trading from flower farm around Thailand. But if you love mellow style with a lot of colors (perfect for photo travelers), then daytime is the way to go.

Love Thai Maak Travel Tips:

Pak Khlong Talat is located just a few blocks away from Wat Pho. It’s also a few block away from Bangkok Chinatown (Yaowaraj.) So if you plan to visit Wat Pho in the late afternoon until the temple closes, you can hop on a Tuk Tuk or just by walk to the Flower Market. Once you are filled with flowers and local spirit, hop on a Tuk Tuk or Taxi for a short ride (you can walk, but walking in the nighttime is not recommend) to experience Bangkok Chinatown at Night for one the best places for dining in Bangkok.
