                                   Blog # 7: Thailand: Flower Market

Bangkok traffic: Motorcycles and scooters weave throughout traffic.     There is an orchestrated pattern where everyone drives safely

Tour came with lunch. We were told "the best" ice cream is produced in Bangkok. Jerry tried these four cups only to find he missed out on other flavors. Probably a good thing! Ha! Ha!

                                                 Local Beer

                     This type of manual labor is still used

    The local flower market is set up for selling product wholesale. 

        Retail stores, hotels, etc. buy flowers from this facility.

                                    Lots of manual labor

It was interesting to see the variety of flowers and bouquets

                                One flower at a time...

                              The entire area is colorful

   Although the place was chaotic, there was a sense or order with what everyone was doing to make a finished product.

                People of all ages were working with flowers

                                              Old manhole

                             More (older) ways to transport product

                                  Outdoor beauty parlor 

            Tut-tuts are cheap and (somewhat) dangerous mode of                         transportation

                                    Street food is everywhere

                    Monks walking in the street is a common sight

                Interesting skyline - River flows through the town
