Bangkok Flower Market & Thai Floral Art (Social Impact Private Tour)
Description
Our tour focuses on making social impact on local communities. We hire skillful floral artisans from nearby communities, where many residents could not afford English language classes. Teaching floral handicraft to foreign guests is their opportunity to learn English and earn income at the same time. On the other hand, we offer a hands-on workshop which you will need to stab many Thai jasmines into a skewer. It is very challenging to “not losing track”, i.e. to align the top flower with the bottom one throughout a skewer.
Here are the highlights of our tour:
1. Walk in the flower market to explore numerous flower selections.
2. Lotus folding workshop with a local seller.
3. Visit Kalayanamitr Temple, a smoothing blend of Thai and Chinese Buddhism.
4. 90 minutes of floral workshop (Garland & Bai Si) with Thai artisans.
5. Visit Baan Kudi Chin Museum, the learning place about Siam–Portuguese lineage.
