What to Do at the Bangkok Flower Market?
Bangkok Flower Market (Pak Khlong Talat) is a picturesque sight in the old town. The marketplace hosts dozens of vendors selling just about everything, from fresh-cut flowers and potted plants to traditional garlands and flower arrangements. The name “Pak Khlong Talat” translates to “market at the mouth of the canal,” reflecting its historical location near the Chao Phraya River
Located near Saphan Phut (Memorial Bridge), the market is usually busy in the early morning when fresh shipments of flowers arrive from nearby farms and wholesalers. While exploring the picturesque streets, you can also find food stalls and shops selling traditional Thai snacks and souvenirs, making it a great place to explore Bangkok Old Town.
While it was relocated to a bigger and more modern facility in 2019, the market continues to operate and remains a key destination for flowers and fresh produce; the relocation has changed its character. The original site near the Memorial Bridge (Saphan Phut) is no longer the bustling hub it once was, though some vendors and smaller shops may still operate in the area.
