Florist

Does anyone know where I can find a decent florist in Pattaya? I want to buy someone some flowers as a thank you.

i used to always buy the lovely boy who sold the under wear in TUK:COM rosses accross the road from TUK:COM twice a year before he sadly died.
So I assume they still sell flowers there.

Thanks Paperboy. I didn't see one opposite Tukcom but there is one on the left a short way down the road towards Second Road.

There is also a florist further up Pattaya Tai from Tukcom,past Friendship Market, on same side as Friendship. They seem to do a big business.

Her is an online one I used in the past. Have then sent to your place or theirs.

or

Neither are cheap, but is online, they have an address, just go by with the car/bike and cheaper for sure.

Next time GOOGLE is your friend "pattaya florist shop" how hard is that.

Oldfarang: Not always easy to know the name of some of those small sois. Buying and self delivery seemed to work just fine. AND, you get to see the look on their face.

That is why you go to the shops yourself. Buy what you want and hope their first responds isn't "How much", bur Thank you

I tried your GOOGLE suggestion and none of the florists I am familiar with were listed.
So not hard but limited in scope regarding results.

Hey guys,
I do have google... but I'm wondering if anyone can confirm a good florist to utilize online before I put in my credit card info on some random website.

I'm thinking is 'Isan Flowers/ Roses to Pattaya' as linked above. Anyone have any experience with them recently?

Cheers.

I recall hearing a story years ago of a tourist who had so enjoyed his times spent with a barboy that he decided to take him a bunch of flowers on the day of his departure as a sign of his appreciation. When he presented the flowers, the boy seemed disappointed, and his face became even longer as the tourist prepared to leave. 'Don't you like the flowers?' the tourist asked, somewhat perplexed. 'I cannot eat flowers!' the boy replied.

I find pansies easy to source

What's valued in one culture may have little value in another.
I've observed that many bar Thais don't like Champagne for instance.
I was in a popular bar in Sunnee that keeps a good stock of the real thing watching a Canadian dish out 5 bottles of Moet Chandon in a row to his 3 handsome companions and the bar staff.
After one or two flutes each they were quietly dumping it into plant pots.
A terrible waste I know but the customer was happy and so was the owner of course.

One glass of Champagne would have sufficed for me - overpriced and overrated stuff which always gives me heartburn irrespective of the label
