- This is part 1 of a two part episode covering the entire Chatuchakl Plant market in Bangkok (filmed in April 2022). Every genus is represented in this comprehensive tour of the most important plant market in Thailand (and probably the most vibrant and complete in the world). I go from booth to booth, covering anything that is of interest and sharing everything I know. Unfortunately the wireless microphone was interrupted by something so we experienced very choppy audio. I did a voiceover for the first half of the video but it took hours and days… so I gave up. But there’s tons to discover and enjoy in this episode!
What we ran into:
cactii succulent
orchid
bromeliad
hoyas
dischidia
aglaonema
dieffenbachia
dracaena
begonia
calathea
pot
fern
caladium
colocasia
caudex
stephania
tissue culture
adenium
plumeria
sansevieria
tillandsia

my son loves the cacti u covered,This is the only plant he shared in my garden,, Nobody touches even the soil.Thanks so much Sean for voice over & showing The Cacti succulents, Thanks a lot
😀😀
Sean, you are my absolute favorite plant-related CZcamsr! Thanks for bringing us so much high-quality, interesting and educational content. My plants are doing so much better after I started watching your channel and following your tips.
The other day I watched your Tillandsia and Dischidia cafe tour videos, as well as an older one where you toured the Anthurium nursery and gave us an introduction to hybridizing them. Now we get a fabulous tour of the Bangkok plant market. This is stuff many of us can only dream about doing in real life, so thank you for making these videos and sharing your expertise. It is appreciated!
Thank you so much for the dose of positivity, it empowers me to do more ❤️
your the best SEAN......👍👍👍👍

Oh!! WOW nice plants
I’ll be visiting Thailand in November, can’t wait to see all those amazing plants 😊🪴
Yesssss. Give yourself a full day. And sunscreen!
@@onlyplants Yep, will definitely do 😊
Welcome
Thank you krub 🙏🏽
Fun fact-At 10:12 you see those teal-blue, smooth-skinned round cacti? They’re a _Lophophora_ species.. AKA, ‘Peyote’, which is only legal for native Americans to use, as it’s an ancient tradition in the American southwest and northern Mexico. _Lophophora_ contains a high amount of mescaline. It’s not a party drug though. It’s a mental, spiritual, learning “tool” of a psychedelic. And it’s just for sale in Bangkok! In wishing weren’t so illegal here in the US, honestly I think the cactus looks cool and makes great flowers too.
The same drug, mescaline, is contained in the Peruvian/Bolivian San Pedro cactus, which I believe is _Trichocereus pachanoi_ or _T. peruvianus_ but the genera may have been recently changed… the difference is with the size. If you see how small the peyote is, don’t let it fool you. One bite allegedly could have you talking to animals! 🤣 Apparently it’s a spiritual awakening, just don’t overdo it or it’s scary. I’ve read it lasts for 12 hours. Meanwhile, I’ve taken San Pedro cactus dozens of times, literally. Those are tall, columnar cacti that are many times larger than peyote. But contain even less mescaline within. So they’re actually a lot more tame and mild to ingest. I’ve never hallucinated or heard things, seen things, or felt in any way inebriated on it, but I’ve never done peyote…
Omg this is so cool! I might have come across it in my Taiwan Caudex episode, our host Alvin mentioned a plant and I believe it is the same one. You have really sharp eyes to be able to identify it lol
Thank you so much ,I am amazed seeing the video here in Phils.
😀😀
Welcome to Thailand Sean.
Thank youu 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I live in the desert i never seen cacti like this 🤣 I wish! Super cool
I always enjoy watching your videos...🌿🌿
Thank youu
Bonjour tout est magnifiques j'adore merci pour la vidéo
52:09 suuuuper pretty dracaena, didn't even know it can churn out this sorta colour😅
my eyes are just shooting hearts the whole vid😍🏹💞 can't wait for ur visit to mr home's collection. I watch summer raynes oakes thailand vids too. it would be a dream to see the both of you collaborate in the future🙀
I dream of meeting her all the time 🥹
@@onlyplants all of us plant people probably do
Vacations are the best times to by pots. I’m in the states and pots are just easier to travel with rather then a plant. You can find some very interesting ones in so many different places
Yeahh and then you also remember where you get them from… memories to bring home. 🥰
@@onlyplants exactly 😊
33:03 would totally recommend the Colocasia Maui Sunrise for anyone who wants to start with 'lava type' colocasias, medium sized, fast growing, produces tons of baby plants very fast
Waiting for them to fall in price quickly in Indonesia. They are still ultra rare but the fact that they propagate themselves often means price will stabilize in a matter of months
Oh mine, that Amorphophallus soo pretty.
😀
Too bad about your mic not working, but I do appreciate your voiceover. Please stop worrying about it! All of your efforts are much appreciated ❤
Thank youu
19:58 Musa Siam ruby, used to cost more than 2000 USD at introduction, but because it's of Thai origin it's been massively tissue cultured and is now stable, you can now get one for below $100 😅
Haha this is a lesson that all plants eventually becomes common. It might even get cheaper than that in a few years
Yay yay yay!!!!!!!!!!
A plant market is heaven to me whereas disneyland would be absolute HELL. Weird comparison!
Haha disneyland can be fun too! When its not packed.
Welcome to bangkok
😀😀
Been waiting for Sean to visit Chatuchak mkt cos I know he will make hours long videos. 😅
😅😅
wow
So jealous… I wish NYC had something like this.
Imagine a weekend market for plants mmmm…
@@onlyplants the ones that do exist have some very basic options, like the one in Union Square, minus Silvas orchids which has some cool orchids
Amazing video as usual and it came at a perfect time. I just arrived in Bangkok 2 days ago and was planning to visit Chatuchak, but unfortunately, I’m not gonna be spending any Tuesday or Wednesday in Bangkok. Do you happen to know where I can find the best/biggest plant nurseries in Bangkok especially those that sell the small tissue cultured plants in tubes? I want stuff that are easy to take back to my country. That would be super helpful🥲
Hey sorry just saw this. Unfortunately not that I know of. About 90% of all plant transactions seem to happen at chatuchak. I highly recommend coming back just for it
Thank you for bringing us around! Wahh love it, some people say there are shops that can prepare phytosanitary certificates for us so we can bring back to Singapore hehehe. Your Thailand videos has convinced me to book a flight soon 😍
Oh its a must visit, the atmosphere in person is so different. You will discover new things to fall in love with at every corner.
@@onlyplants yesss just watching your vids makes me excited already!
Heyyyy I moved to Thailand earlier this year and I'd love to hang out with you next time you come around! The "monstera pinnapartita?" is a monstera Siam (the name comes from the old name of Thailand, as it's supposedly endemic here). I've discovered it here and bought one of the size you showed for 300thb (roughly 7 euros / 8 dollars), before seeing that a baby sells for around 80 usd in the US at places like planterina!
Omg thats so affordable. But it might not have been a monstera then? Because they are new world aroids, found only in the americas. Or perhaps this was a hybrid made in Thailand?
@@onlyplants I know! That's why I couldn't not buy it 😂😂 I've done more research on it since yesterday night, and apparently it could be a cultivar of pinnapartita, and it's also called "Spiderman" sometimes. And you're right, a couple of places online think they come from South America... So I guess my Thai sources were just extrapolating from the name 🤔😂
pinnartipartita seems like one of the toughest monstera to grow to maturity, but when it does its spectacular
@@lucastham9328 the Siam is not difficult (in my current climate at least), however it:
- doesn't like having too much room. I had repotted it in a slightly bigger pot for esthetic purposes, and it stopped growing for a couple of months. When I moved it back into a smaller pot it tried to push out one leaf every other week, which led to my next issue.
- the new leaves tend to get stuck when trying to separate from the previous stem and can rot off in high humidity climates, so you need to help them out a bit. I've lost two leaves by not acting fast enough.
My growing conditions: it's in a south facing room, 3 meters or so away from the window (which has an UV filter on it), kept at around 30 - 36°C (and at 26°C for about one hour per day, when we turn on the AC).
The plant is in soil (aroid mix), and gets fertilized every other week with some NPK 21 21 21 at very low concentrations.
There's no growing lights and I don't monitor my humidity levels, but Google tells me the region usually sits between 70 and 90%.
Hopefully this helps you out in some way!
9:46 stapelia leendertziae I believe, the flowers are bell shaped when they open
Hoho nicr
Great plant content would you know if they export plants to other countries?
They dont, but if you have an export service that can do it for you, shopping here is not a bad idea
If you like the Stephania, you should get some nasturtium seeds and grow those! I love them, I grow them every year, but in a mild climate they would just stay alive year-round, they would have to be outside either on a balcony, in the ground, or in a pot, but they are soooo lovely, like little lily pads, and so easy to grow! Do you know those already? Honestly, you say you were here for 6 hours - I would be very happy to watch 6 more hours of this, haha !
Oh wow I just googled nasturtium, the leaves are so stinking cute. Also they flower nicely
You should try Thonburi flea market ( plants as well) next time you're in bangkok
Interesting. Will give it a try
21:14 - My foot
1:03:21 - Amorphophallus atroviridis
Thank youu I needed this!
that tall aloe looking thing at 12:35 is a aloidendron (tree aloe), African genus
😀
try going to hthai thailand border of malasia thailand
52:16 draceana stardust, hybrid from Indonesia
Thank youu. Whoa I just looked up the price its way more expensive here than variegated monstera
Grand banget
Makasihh
@@onlyplants suara nya ngak jelas .. putus .. moga di baiki vlog akan datang
48:23 Euphorbia francoisii, the Thais have created Infinite colour variations on this species lately
Whoaa thank you. Added to wishlist
1:00:54 This is Phyllanthus mirabilis another native caudex plant if I'm not mistaken
Thank you 😍😍
48:53 Premna microphylla, the actual leaves can range from over 15 cm long all the way to these tiny bonsai leaves!
Cool!!! I bet its the pot size that determines their size? Or maybe there are different varieties of them
pot size determines their size, constantly trimming it also decreases the leaf size dramatically, premna live at the seaside where water is scarce so they produce small leaves as an adaptation
Really love your video in Chatuchak. Are we allowed to-bring the plants back to Indo? Or have to arrange the phytosanitary certificate? Kindly advice how to bring it back. 🙏
Theres not really a way to bring in plants legally… for you to receive plants here you must have a PT or CV and be registered with Kementan. The process is nearly impossible and only a few handful of companies here have successfully done it. Most people bring in plants secretly in their luggage, or by help of pirates 🙏🏽 but with marijuana being common in Thailand now I dont recommend bringing in the luggage as screening at airport has increased in scrutiny.
💚💚
I would have spent all my money !
Hi Sean, can you tell me if the market still takes place Tuesday/Wednesday? I am about to book a flight and would like to catch it. There's lots of talk of CHATUCHAK weekend market on the internet but maybe that's not for plants? Many thanks
Sorry to ask when you're based in Indonesia and the video is a year old 😅😅
Yes it is tuesdays-thursdays actually but I dont recommend thursdays as the best stuff are sold out.
Its ok! I hope I got to reply you in time.
Also avoid the hot mid-day afternoons it can get extremely hot. Mornings and evenings are the best.
@@onlyplants Thank you so much for replying. I will go on Tuesday evening and maybe even Wednesday morning too . Really appreciate your reply.
1:02:06 That's probably Firmiania (Sterculia) colorata
Thank youu
Vielen Dank! Ich war da in2019. Es ist SUPER! Ich kann leider nichts mit nehmen nach Deutschland. Kannst du nach Indonesien was mit nehmen?
Curious whether the pots/planters are opened during weekends.
Some are actually, but not most. Weekend is fun too! Lots of lifestyle and fashion products
1:01:05 That's Amorphopallus atroviridis, yet another native species
Thank youu
Is it possible to order from this market and ship outside of the country? Also any recommended orchid nursery that ships internationally?
If you work with an export service Im sure you can ship it back. Unfortunately I dont know any to refer
😲😲😲😍😍😍
12:00 ficus petiolaris, this one's a succulent
Thank you for this. Saved in my wishlist!
Sean! I started screaming when you showed the mini figs! I want the duck, the bunny, some mushies..super cute! Do they have an online store? :D
Edit: ill have to go to Bangkok to check out this market! I love everything you showed! The cacti, tropicals pots..everything is gorgeous 😍
Oh yes please do visit. Theres a lot you can get here for very very little money. It would also support the local market a lot! Unfortunately theres no online store and shipping internationally would cost way too much 😅
That many variegated adeniums? 🤔
Ah ok, grafted 😂
I understand you talk with your hands but please try to keep them out of the picture so we can see the plants. Thank you for the video.
haha thank you, interesting comment!
Hello Sean!
I'm from Portugal, Europe. Is it possible to bring some kind of plant on the plane? Even if hidden? I cannot understand how it is possible for no tourist to buy even a single plant in this market, or indeed anywhere else in Thailand. Soon, I will travel to Thailand and I still don't know how I can manage to buy and bring some plant, however small and discreet it may be. Can you help me or know someone who can help me?
Thanks in advance!
Hello, depending on countries… some are quite strict. In USA they have sniffing dogs at the airport that can detect live produce (and nartotics and explosives). If you can get away with it I say go for it but know your countries rules and also understand the risk/penalties should you get caught.
Is it possible to do a video of the process of exporting these out of the country, is a permit required?
Ive done an episode but that is for Indonesia export. From Thailand the process is more smooth I heard…
@@onlyplants thanks alot
@@onlyplants hopefully I'm able to visit Thailand soon. On to watching part 2
apart from physical plants, do they sell the Seeds, Bulbs, tubers, etc ?
Yes they do. Some booths sell them 😀 easy to smuggle back lol (but I didn’t say that 🙈)
👍🏻❤️
❤💚👍
❤️❤️❤️
i just curious bout, if we buy plants from thailand, is it difficult to bring to indonesia? any taxes that we have to pay or not? thankq for ur answer🙂
The only way we can bring plant in legally is to have an import permit, which requires you to have a business license.
@@onlyplants oh..okay, is it difficult to have it?
Does anyone know the plant @43:45? Thank you
Some of the flowers are come from Holland....
Whoaaaaa… thats a long way away 😅
@@onlyplants My friend is one of them.
Heyy now I'm in Bangkok too. So where are you.?
Hello this was filmed in Early April 😀
I need Anglonema
😀
Anyone know the exact location? Lost in Chatuchak and can’t find the plants after an hour😂
If you look at the map of chatuchak market on google, you will see a track that goes around the whole compound. The plants are along this whole track. Try entering from gate #3
jastippp dong sean... monthai
Haha ga berani bawa balik 🥹
Hi.... The plant market open only wednesday n thursday ?
Tuesday to thursday. I recommend visiting on Tuesday if you can? Or wednesday
Thank you
In conclusion: it’s cheaper to just fly to Bangkok to buy plants 😂
That is best decision.
Yeppp. And one thing Im learning… is that we dont need to own every plant we like. We can visit them and enjoy them where they are.
Why is the audio cutting so much
Im not entirely sure. There might be something jamming signals in this market as it is wireless.
i hope you ask the prices of variegated Philodendron and anthurium just like you do in cactus with prize in earlier of this video. anyways thanks for sharing thiw vlog.
They were not labelled… and its not polite to ask if I wasnt going to buy hha. But a lot of them are cheaper than even Indonesia
12:13 what is that!? 😍
Haha if the ID is not on the screen Im waiting for someone to shout it in the comments 😝
Siam ruby banana
Thank you
Musa siam ruby bananas
Thank youu I needed this!
Don't forget to visit cabbages and condoms restaurant since u are there.
Lol why cabbages
