Komkrit,

     Very,very nice!! Wow, what memories from the market. My wife Andrea and I have been to Thailand twice, and we absolutly love it. One day alone, we walked for 6 hours through the market and out on the busy highway. We saw such an incredible amount of plants. I highly reccomend to everyone, that not if, but when the biennial is held next in Thailand, that you try to go! Just the visits to the market alone, is well worth the trip. The prices for most plants are very low. I love to look at the crotons and the beautiful Thai aglaonemas. Well, thanks again.

Komkrit,

    I almost forgot, do you know my lady friend that grows and sells plants there, Nongporn?

   Also, do you have a nursery overthere, or do you just like plants in general? Thanks for all the pictures.

Great stuff, especially for a variegate lover like me! Can you export to the US? Or do you know anyone who can?

[Kim]

Ok, that's it.  I need to learn several asian languages and move to the far east.

That photo of the licualas literally had me gasping for breath.  Then you hit me with the heliconias, and later the bromeliads.

So Komkrit, which language should I study first?

Awesome photos, thank you so much!!!

To Don and any others who would like to visit Thailand, let me know. Although my English is not good enough, but I will take you tour 'Jatujak' plant market with pleasure, you are welcome. The airport not far from market, feel free to come.  

[BS Man about Palms]

Jeff, is that a real name? ???

And what are those in #32-34?  The red and purple ones..awesome!

[Gileno Machado]

Delightful pictorial Komkrit.

[Kom Thai Palm]

To Jeff

It's hard to make other understand why you walked for 6 hrs. I know you love plant very much.

I spent whole day anytime I visit there, and promise next time I will take Crotons and Aglaonemas pictures intensively.

And first, I wanna say most of my Palms are from Nongporn Nursery that you can found at Jatujak market. As I know she has widely connection, internationally. Interesting that you know each other, next time I will tell her that you ask for, any more msg?    (I think she'd glad to know)

To STEVE

Sorry that I plant a palms(and other tropical plant) by hobby, that too small quantity for sales, also export too. As I know Nongporn Nusery is plant grower and importer, not sure her business including exporting, but worth to try

her email nongporn999@hotmail.com

Her name should be 'Nongpond' I think, Sound OK?

I really don't know on #32-#33, any idea?

[Kom Thai Palm]

Gileno, Thanks very much.  :laugh:

That your way opposite direction on mine, we(Thai) learn hard English to communicate with other nation. Today I poor in English and have to learn more.

Anyway I have a suggestion, Between our Asian Nation, many country use English as official language, many country their people use English as only international business. but only one nation will not use english anyway, Japan. If you go there you must speak Japanese.

Komkrit- WOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think this post should get moved over to the Travelogues section, as this is a great pictorial tour of the plant market. I see now whay Tony Avent loves going over to that area to get plants. I am amazed at some of the plants you pictured. That Red Banana that they have pictured on their site( name is something alon the lines of Siam Ruby, but I have seen about 5 names for this individual plant) was from the market I believe. Also, your English is very good. I have to say I could not go to any non english speaking forum and post in another Language. Thanks for sharing the pictures with us.

Bill,

   #32 is a Costus species, forgot which one.

   #33 is a  Rhoeo discolor.

   #34 is a Thai croton variety

[Jeff Searle]

Komkrit,

  yes, please give my regards to Nongporn, it's been awhile since we last spoke. Maybe you can tell her about this palmtalk forum. Get her to register and join in.

  And I would like to meet you, the next time I come to visit.

That Red Banana we call 'Kluay Nak', in Thai meaning Nak is alloy of Gold+Copper ^ ^. I have serveral at my father's farm and three at my home. It's hard to take good view shot, so I have no pics but good luck that this year they have fruiting. Very tasty.

[Kom Thai Palm]

Half ripe

[Zac in NC]

Komkrit- The one I was referring to is a red foliaged one, but that red fruited one is very nice too. I just got a Red fruiting one this weekend. A nice 7 foot pseudostem for free. It was hardy in Chareston South Carolina and fruited so I'll see how it does here in my area. Thanks for sharing those other pictures.

Thanks for the tour Komkrit! Great shots!!

[RainForestt Robert]

Komkrit,

Thanks so much for the photos.  They make me want to get over to Thailand as fast as possible.  I still hope to make it over there in the next year.  Your photos are even more motivating.  Thanks again.  I will have to organize some import permits so I can get some of these wonderful plants back to Trinidad!

Robert

[Kom Thai Palm]

Dear Komkrit  

Hey i have no words in praise of your work !

those stills are terrefic.and iam spellbound by

those beautiful plants.

i wish to buy all those plants_but it will not make

any bussiness sense.instead one has to go and

settle there itself.and start a stall,by this i will be

able to see these beauty's daily.this will be the most

relaxing job on earth.

And jeff you one hell of a lucky guy,to visit those garden

stalls in your life time.and to walk on those streets will

be like a pilgrimage to a nature lover.all the beauties

just lined up_showing off their beautiful colors and flowers !

Dear Komkrit,you are a boon to this forum.since i do not

have much time to travel long distance for now.so guys

like you are full filling my desires to visit new places &

new gardens_Thanks comming strait from my heart.

I happen to see these topics just few days back_my netscape

browsers will not highlight Palappa coloum.now i use I.E also

so excuse me for joining late in this mega tour.

Love,

Kris.

MONGO........MARKET!!

Seriously, how about those small rootballs, how about those lipsticks. My brother is moving to Thailand in late January for a 12 month work contract. Mmmmmmm.........

[sebastian]

Amazing the plants you find in Asia but not only the plants but the books, you can find so many specilalist books on different tropical plants that would be impossible to find in Australia at least, im sure most of the books are not to be found in english either.
