This plant market held once a week was a revelation! Sadly, tho I was itching to buy something, I was afraid customs would cease the plants if I brought them back to the UK. Many stores were selling orchids - these boxes of about 6 or 8 orchids were priced at 300 bahts - about £4.50 - less than £1 per orchid!!! I also saw Dicksonias being sold for about 100 bahts. Could have stayed at this market all day.......

Yeah I know - I considered smuggling a couple back in my suitcase, but kept getting this horrible image of a customs official with a rubber glove........

What an extraodinary price! For that price it would have been worth it to try to bring some back...maybe. No rubber gloves!!!!
