I took these pictures in Chatuchak Market ...there were various types and colours ....and (I think) it is cheap as well ...some are only 150 baht (Rm 15) ...if in Sarawak, some orchids, especially the big (grown) and flowering orchids can be sold for more than RM60 (at least!) ...
and these pictures were taken at the Subvarnabhumi Airport ...a huge array of orchids surrounding the statue of Buddha ...
and a close-up shot:
this one is actually purple, but somehow it seems like blue when captured by the camera
and these wonderful orange orchids
and for visitors who want to bring a little bit of thai back home, there were plenty of pre-packed orchids in the booths inside the airport ...
Really colourful and very pleasing to the eyes ....the fresh orchid, I mean ....the one above (in the box) is nothing compared to the one on the lobby of the airports ....
Orchids are also the main features in the lobby of Pullman Hotel ....adding a touch of elegance to the environment!
So, thailand is not only great in terms of food and bargains ...the orchids are great too!
