There were adeniums, tillandsias and bromeliads, water-lilies, hibicus, ferns, hoyas... Thousands of plants, everywhere.
In fact, it could be the biggest plant market I guess.
The weather was very unbearable even for a warm-climate person like me. Nevertheless, I managed to make three rounds of the market!
Finally, these are what I bought for myself.
So few? Yes, because I thought the feast to the eyes was enough for me!

OMG you were there? I wish to be there one day but I hope I could be as displined as you. I love what you bought :-D Are those dwarf habit ground orchids?
Yes, Stephanie, I was there and it was really hard not to buy many since the plants looked so "inviting".
I was able to control myself because I've got a lot of hoya cuttings from friends there already.
The ground orchids I bought are not so "dwart" to my eyes, though.
What a marvelous place... I would go insane with all the possibilities! L
Is the plant market a regular part of Chatuchak? If it is, I think I know what my Christmas gift to myself will be. My problem is I don't know what I will be getting so I don't know how to work out the permit.
Bom: yes, the plant market is a part of Chatuchak, it meets every Wednesday and Thursday. Other days are for other things, not plants.
Should you go there, bring along a pocket calculator to "talk about price" with vendors since many of them don't speak a word in English. I was with local friends so it was no problems for me though.
Lary: I know it would be easy to go insane especially when all the plants are so affordable!
I did go. You were right about the market. Definitely a feast for the eyes!c
A wonderful blog! I'm also going to visit this market in a couple of weeks and like you, I live in Vietnam. Are there any problems bringing small plants back into the country at all?
Nick: So far I've had no problems bringing small plants into VN.
Hope you'll be lucky.
