can one buy orchid plants and flower seeds in thailand?

Question

I want to bring back orchid plants and flower seeds.Is that allowed?if so where are they available in bankok?

Answer 1

They are available anywhere in Bangkok, even the airport sells them. You can take them out of the country but the problem is the custom regulation that you have to go through in your country of origin. Find out the quarantine laws before you depart. If it is impossible, then you can buy the same here in USA by going online.

Answer 2

Don't bother trying to buy orchid seed unless you have an autoclave and a sterile place where you can work. You'll also need the proper type of agar and something glass such as an Erlenmeyer flask to propagate in. It takes a couple of years to get anything useful this way, as well. Orchid seeds are nearly microscopic and cannot be planted like regular seeds. In general, it takes Phalaenopsis orchids 7 years to be big enough to put out their first flower. If this doesn't deter you, you can always go to the link below.

Answer 3

not sure if you can bring back orchid plants & seeds but i will tell you they have cheap amazing flower markets all over bangkok. there is an entire city section of bangkok devoted to flowers. check guidebook "Lonely Planet - Bangkok". they may be able to shed light if plants/seeds can be taken home.

Answer 4

Baby Orchids for growing - I know they have them at the Samphran Elephant Ground & Zoo (just outside Bangkok).

Sorry, I don't know the answer to whether you can bring them into your country.

Answer 5

You can buy them easily from markets and Chatuchak weekend market. Cost very little for seedlings and seeds. And easily packed small. Check your country localcustom rules to see if you can bring them home.
