We did a night bike ride through deserted temples and a huge flower market. Much street food was eaten. Many pictures of the King of Thailand were observed. We even cycled through the grounds of the very swanky hospital where he now lives.
The guide insisted on taking everyone’s photo in front of the creepy sword wheedling ogre.
The wholesale flower market was HUGE, and so beautiful. The majority of the flowers are sold every night – very little wastage, and they are almost all for use as offerings in Bangkok’s many temples. Which, when you actually see just how many flowers there are, is quite hard to imagine. Some of the flowers are sold loose, and some are braided into ready made offerings.
