Thai Orchids

In addition to being a leading exporter of orchids, there is a local demand for these exotic flowers as well. The Pak Klong Talat market was well stocked with these beauties as well. Many of the orchids are grown outside of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. Should have visited an orchid farm while I was up there!

When departing the plane, a Thai Airways flight attendant gave all the females a corsage of orchids. An unexpected, but nice touch. I wonder how many orchids the airline uses just in one day!
