Sing Buri Market boasts the most varieties of caladiums.

 

Once mainly associated with the brave villagers of Bang Rachan who fought off the Burmese army in the Ayutthaya era, Sing Buri province is today also known for being home to the country’s longest caladium Sunday market that stretches for more than 3 kilometers and boasts the most varieties of these popular plants too.

 

Every Sunday, caladium lovers – mostly from nearby provinces and Bangkok – flock to Sing Buri to buy these ‘queens of foliage’ (Rachinee Mai Bai) as they are referred to in Thai, along with their close relatives Alocasia, Colocasia, Xanthosomai and Syngonium.

 

What makes this place so special, apart from the great variety of plants on offer, is that the prices are very reasonable. The ambiance is great too as the market is filled with like-minded people, making it a worthwhile day trip despite the heat and distance.
