MarketFriday - initiated by @dswigle - Buying Fresh Straight out of the Garden !!
Hi everyone here we are back for another #marketfriday initiated by the lovely @dswigle and it's Friday again. Last week as Steemit was down and my office was been updated i managed to go on a few walks in different parts of Bangkok and as with my last #marketfriday i mentioned walking down the Bangkok Canal which stretches for many kilometers from one end of the city to the other and believe me i could be writing stories about this canal for a long time to come yet , there are so many interesting sites and things to see along this canal that i am hooked on getting back there to see more.
The most interesting parts as your walking along the walkways of this Bangkok canal you will see old city to new city living , trendy cafe shops to our beautiful street vendors so much to talk about but i will bring you some more of "The life on the Bangkok Canal" but today i want to show you some thing unique that i haven't seen anywhere else....yes amazing Thailand is doing it again.
I came across this beautiful flower park that that runs from the front of the canal back to one of the main roads and i saw people either sitting on benches or sitting on the grass patches having a chat mostly maybe on there lunch breaks from the offices across the road but then i noticed that people were also walking into this park and walking out with pot plants and bouquets of flowers.
So curiosity got the better of me and i had to go investigate this scenario and to my surprise well i should not have been surprised this is amazing Thailand anything goes the deal was that you could choose what ever flowers you wanted to be added in your bouquet and they would pop into the garden and snip of whatever color flower you wanted fresh out of this massive flower garden and take them home to your love ones how fresh and neat is that.
And it was the same deal with plants of flowers what ever mixture of flower plants you wanted they would just scoop them straight out of the fresh soil pot it up for you and of you go at a small price of course ranging from $1 US to $10 US and with the bouquet of flowers from $3 US to $15 US fresh as and cheap as.
So there you have it i have been living in Thailand for a few years now and hadn't come across this deal what better way to shop for your fresh flowers or bouquet straight out of a fresh garden and another great advantage your cutting out the middle man making the whole deal much cheaper so what you waiting for bring your basket , bring your car hell bring your truck and go home with a bargain.

these are nice picks for @dswigle. Thanks and have a beautiful weekend @hangin
Thank you so much @mcsamm and sorry for late reply it was a big weekend i hope yours was awesome also :)
very interesting plants !!! I have not seen these before. I found only two or three that I saw earlier :) do they have a scent?
They always have something different here in Thailand to see amazing Thailand as they say :)
And yes most do have a lovely scent :)
Oh, my! I cannot believe the lengths Thailand goes to make your life more beautiful! Seriously!! I am sure that you were bowled over when you saw what was actually happening, right?
It is seriously cheaper than a flower market and has the added value of giving beauty to an otherwise empty lot. How smart are these Thai people? Or really, the government?
They could easily just live without all this extra added luxuries for us common people, but instead, go out of their way to offer up these beautiful blooms in many different ways.
Oh Wow! I have never heard of this ever!!
The more you discover about Thailand, the more enticing it becomes! I kid you not! Thank you for inviting me along to this secret garden of sorts! I also appreciate the time and energy spent making a post,
Upped and steemed
As i said Thailand never ceases to amaze me everytime i step out my front door i see something different and seeing this really took the cake.
I don't know how or where they come up with just amazing things it almost always sounds like a dumb idea but eventuates into a success story and i was blown out of my socks when i realized what was really happening truly brilliant and making a killing.
There are so many places i have heard of and want to get to it always excites when i step out my front door it's like stepping into wonderland...lol :)
Thank you so much for your kind words the up and resteem and this was dedicated to you because i know how much you love flowers am glad you loved this secret garden and sorry for the late reply was a big weekend.
