Thailand Flowers - Yielding your heart unto its perfumed power.
A tourist destination to many is now glamorized by the power of its flowers. With a population around 64 million people, Thailand is respected by its religion, tourist destinations and its goods exportation that significantly supports the economy.
Every year places like Bangkok, Ayutthaya, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Ko Samu, Phuket, and Krabi receive tourist from all over the world; the Buddhism and the Thailand flowers are among one of the most beautiful things to experience.
Among some omnipotent flower gardens in Thailand we can describe Mah-Fah-Luang Gardens. There you can find from unique winter flowers up to decorative plants. The Mah-Fah-Luang Gardens can be found in front of the Doi Tung Palace. Another great flower garden is in Bangkok, the famous Suan Luang Rama 9 Park - the largest public park. The Botanical Garden is a must seen place.
A bit out of the route, visiting the Sukhothai Hotel (Bangkok) we can see 6,5 hectares of flower gardens (a 25 minute drive from Don Muang International Airport) – the visit to the garden is free.
The flower gardens in Thailand comes from the nineteenth century and the richest flowers in Thailand are the orchids because of its tropical weather. Even the Thai royal family are into it, for example, the Bangkok Botanical Gardens are dedicated to the King of Thailand.
Thailand has three types of garden: the royal palace gardens, hotel and resort gardens and Buddhist monastery and temple gardens such as Wat Pho. Wat Pho (also called Wat Phra Chetuphon) is a Buddhist temple where the famous Thai massage was born. There we have the impressive and magical 46 metre reclining gold-plated Buddha. Another recommended temple with beautiful and impressive flower ornamental is the Golden Mount.
Other recommended garden for Thailand Flowers is the small Sanaman Park, near to Wat Pho. There the illumination in the evening is absolutely astonishing and we appreciate the smell of Thai flowers.
Other options are Bang Pa-In Summer Palace where we can see Thai flowers in an elephant shape; and Dokmai Garden where we can find a growing collection of more than 1000 Thai flowers species, as an example last year the Orchid Ark had 200 orchid.
As we can see above Thailand is nowadays a well known place for Flowers and Buddhism continues its beauty.
