About

Pak Khlong Talat is Bangkok's flower market, which the Tourism Authority of Thailand describes as the city's biggest wholesale and retail market for fresh flowers. Growers' trucks arrive from across the country in the small hours, and traders and florists come to buy their stock before dawn, so the market runs on a different clock from the temples and palaces around it.

It suits photographers, night owls and early risers, and anyone who wants to see the working side of the Old City rather than another monument. Because it serves the trade as well as walk-in shoppers, you can buy a single bunch or watch florists load up for the day. The market sits in the Phra Nakhon district of the Old City, and it is a short walk from MRT Sanam Chai on the Blue Line.

When to go

Timing is the main decision here. The Tourism Authority of Thailand recommends going after midnight, when the market is at its liveliest, or in the pre-dawn hours, when fresh flowers come in by the truckload and wholesale buying is at its peak.

Getting there

The MRT Blue Line has made the Old City far easier to reach than it once was. Sanam Chai station serves both the flower market and Wat Pho, which lie in opposite directions from the station, so a temple visit and a market walk can share one trip across town.

Nights and festivals

The TAT includes Pak Khlong Talat among Bangkok's after-dark food and market stops, alongside Yaowarat. The neighborhood is also one of the areas that host Bangkok Design Week, usually held around February, when exhibitions, workshops and talks spread through the old streets.
