Where Can I Buy 'dried Flowers' ? Not Artificial - Not Plastic

[how241]

I am looking to  buy 'Dried Flowers' ?  Not artificial - Not plastic  ... I am tired of the cut flowers that I give for special events going into the trash can after a few days.  I am not interested in live, potted plants .  Thanks in advance for any help.  I am  located in Pattaya .

Grow them yourself and have your own supply.  They are easy from seed and will do ok in pots on your balcony.  Cut when in full flower and hang upside down for a couple of weeks to dry and that's it. :)

Thanks for your suggestions but I always have had bad luck growing or caring for potted plants ... My balcony is very, very small and doesn't really get much sunlight ... I really don't mind buying them if I can find them ... When in the USA, I see nice arraignments in most flowers shops but not here in Pattaya so far ... Also I would like to buy a mixed arraignment that contains several different types of dried flowers...

Why not buy a bunch, or several bunches of fresh flowers. Once you've enjoyed the fresh flowers, let them dry out & you'll have dried flowers.

That's what I'd do.

After 17 or so days without a positive reply, looks like drying the fresh flowers is looking good.

Best method of drying flowers is to hang fresh flowers upside down on a line in an A/C ventilated room. 

 

Chatuchak Market in BKK has every type of flower and tree and gardening product ever created and is worth a trip. I think I have seen dried flowers there.

 

They open Tuesday afternoon but I prefer arriving Wednesday morning because its cooler temp outside and they still have all their products but by late Wednesday afternoon much is sold off. They pack up Thursday and return to their farms.

Thanks  for that info ...

If you go to Central Embassy and than you take the connection corridor to Central ( I think 3rd floor) the moment you enter Central shop is right there on the left hand side

Thanks !!!    I will try to check out these places on my next trip tp Bangkok.

Plenty of places selling dried flowers at Chatuchuck market - on the weekend. Can't remember the section but it is on the map that is free at the information booth. Likewise you could go to the Flower Market on Chaopraya River - nearby to Wat Po. Huge ad they do have some dried flowers. I've always bought at Chatuchuck market and they have a huge selection there. Worth a trip from Pattaya. Door to door early on a Sunday morning no longer than 2 hours. Good Luck.

Thanks for the info ...  I will definitely check out these places on my next Bangkok trip although I was really hoping to find them here in Pattaya as the long return trip might damage them .
