Siam Thailand Travel @ Pak Klong Tarad

                       It is always in motion, Bangkok's Pak Klong Tarad has never closed in the many hundreds of years since its opening.  From fresh blooms to stems that have been crushed underfoot, the market is the country's largest source of flowers, and a poignant glimpse of local culture - gritty in its purity, and natural to the extent of harshness.
                        Flowers from all over the place are sent to the Pak Klong Tarad, the flower market, where they await their next leg of their journey getting ever closer to the receiver.

                        In almost every cuture around the world, people use flowers to express their feelings towards others. And no matter what kind of flowers they are, each has a beauty and value of its own, causing the receiver to smile and brighten.

                        The market is not only identified by its flowers, however, and marks an important way of life that remains unchanged by technology and modern comforts. The people here are much the same as generations that have gone before them; they use a hand trolley to deliver their around the clock, 24/7.  This is a market that never sleeps, never stands still and never falls silent.
                         How to get there: Take the Chao Phraya Express Boat to Pak Khlong Talat Pier; bus numbers 2, 5, 8, 53, 60, 73, and 512 also go to the area. From Chinatown, you can take a tuk-tuk for a short distance to the market (around 30-40 baht).
