RichardThailand Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The flower stand in the street which looks to have a large number of assorted flowers is asking for 300 baht for roses. Looked like maybe ten roses. Just wondering how much experienced expats would pay. Would they negotiate and pay less or pay up the 300 baht.

Deacon Bell Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Well a BJ in the bars there cost 700b. So there's probably a formula you can create to work it out. 300x% chance of a BJ = <700 then it seems good value, > = poor value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geronimo Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 An experience expat would never buy flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mencken Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 If you go to the flower market on the bottom side of Suankularb Wittayalai there is a street with nothing but flowers. Bus 73 from mrt Hualalongpong exit 3. Stops at river, walk inland by road 7min. Return by same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 If the Roses are good then 300 baht isnt a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, the OP didn't ask that question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mencken Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Sorry. Ill not post such unknown gems in the future. There is a reason I sprnd zero time on this board any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mencken Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Yes, sort of thought the guy was honestly looking for flowers and going to be in area. But it does indeed appear he wants to shower prosti's with flowers - as cheaply as possible. Forgive me. Girls want monee not flowers fool. I've literally see women in beer bars toss entire bouqets of flowers in the bin after punters left the bar. Ah, you sentimentalist...how sweet.

chiang mai Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Up to 10 baht a rose in Warot Market, max., more likely 5 to 8 baht each 30 baht a rose is for tourists. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardThailand Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Guys. The flowers were for my gf of 8 years who's not a Thai. However can't blame some of you for the comments.

Mencken Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 So why not take my advice and go buy your true love some fresh, proper flowers instead of dicking around in the worst part of town? Welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thighlander Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 About 20 THB for 10 at Chiang Mai Gate Market.....except on Valentines day. I'll buy a single for 10 THB occasionally and put it in an empty beer bottle for my bar hostess; seems to go over pretty well. Definitely try to avoid dealing with child labor, there are many legitimate flower businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome I thank you for your advice and would like to check out the other areas that sell flowers. As for being the worst part of town the place was just outside the Robin Hood Bar. Is that the worst part of town? I know it's not great but so far in our trip we have completely avoided any of the bar / massage areas and picked that area as our hotel is just a few minutes from the BTS. Seriously where do you consider is one of the best parts of town to stay. I'm looking for an area close to a mall and with local coffee shops and nice restaurants. Some place where I'm not so likely to get run over by one of the motorbikes that loves to drive on the sidewalk. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
