Pak khlong market, Flower market at Wang Burapha Phirom, Bangkok, Thailand.

Pak Khlong Talat spans across Chak Phet Road, featuring endless rows of fresh flowers, including roses, orchids, carnations, and marigolds from local provinces.

The location started as a floating market during King Rama I's reign in 1782, transformed into a fish market by 1868, and became a flower market in the 1950s.

Local artisans create Phuang Malai, traditional Thai garlands made by threading flower buds, which serve as offerings at temples and spiritual ceremonies.

The market remains open 24 hours daily, with peak activity occurring past midnight when fresh deliveries arrive from surrounding provinces and northern Thailand.

Located where two canals meet the Chao Phraya River, the market provides flowers for both wholesale buyers and individual customers throughout Bangkok.
