Itinerary

10:00

Meet up at hotel lobby (in Bangkok area)

10:30

This trip starts when we arrive at Pak Khlong Talat or Bangkok Flower Market. Believe it or not, this is the biggest flower market in Thailand which is open 24/7! We'll spend some time here looking around the flower market, and we'll buy some jasmine or lotus for our workshop.

Once we've got our flowers, we'll head to the workshop to make classic Thai flower garlands! I'll guide you closely and personally on the steps of making a beautiful flower garland. We'll take around 2-3 hours here.

14:00

After finishing crafting garlands at the workshop, we'll walk to Wat Pho or the Temple of the Reclining Buddha to offer the garlands we've just made to the Reclining Buddha. Furthermore, we'll also learn the story behind the Thai traditional massage, since Wat Pho is the very place where the traditional Thai massage was born!

15:00

Our trip ends here. I will take you back to the hotel. Hope you enjoyed learning Thai culture through making Thai flower garlands. Have a safe trip back home!

Transportation fares are included.

Admission fees are included.

Meals are excluded

I am a flower specialist, and from my knowledge, jasmine and lotus are two of the most significant flowers in Thai culture and Buddhism. On this trip, you will learn to make garland and Thai craft from flowers. Moreover, you will get in touch with the Thai local life in the flower market. We visit Wat Pho, the popular and interesting temple, you can learn about being Thai for a day.

We had such an amazing experience with Pornpimon! We were taken to hidden, local gems all around town and felt like locals ourselves. The experience was highly individualised which reflected Pornpimon‘s care and consideration. Not to mention the beautiful flowers and temples. I would highly recommend! I feel like we have a local friend in Bangkok now. Thank you so much.

Upon finding out that I was a freelance florist like herself, Pornpimon customised the experience for me. She focused on sharing techniques and ideas that would help me to create designs using the new skills I had learnt. It felt more like friendship through flowers, rather than a tour. Dress comfortably as most of the activities were without aircon. A very good experience of local culture.

What a beautiful and special way to spend the day in Bangkok. I am super grateful for the time I was able to share with our guide Pornpimon and her sister who are both kind, patient and knowledgeable. Pornpimon is a florist herself and knew many of the local vendors and the meaning/origin of the different flowers and traditional Thai arrangements at the flower market (Pak Klong Talat). If you have never been there is nothing quite like it. We had a wonderful and affordable lunch and spent the afternoon making a few different types of phuang malai from ones with jasmine buds to ones with rose petals. They even made one for my hair! Afterwards we were able to the public boat to the Temple of Dawn (Wat Arun) which is absolutely stunning! Pornpimon left me with the leftover jasmine buds which bloomed and sweetened my hotel room that night. Highly recommend the entire experience!
