Chatuchak Plant Night Market - Ep 133

- One of the first places I wanted to visit when in Bangkok was the Chatuchak Plant Market, which is like an endless flea market of indoor and outdoor plants. I was tipped off, however, to get there Tuesday night during set-up, as that is when all the collectors go to find the finest specimens-and some fine plants I DID see!

"I'm not gonna buy any plants." I tell myself that all the time but it never works for me 😆
Can you talk more about buying plants while traveling? Specifically customs rules around taking/bringing plants?
yes do it
The vendor needs to give you a phytosanitary certificate, endangered or protected plants need special permits
Took the question right outa my mouth! 👍🏼
Also plants need to be bare root
Just wanted to ask that!! I was in Japan in 2016 and wanted to buy a plant.... but remembered that I isn't allowed to have them in your case or backpack. Tell us please~~~~
"I'd have such a plant habit here" says the girl who has a few hundred plants growing in her NY apartment. Soo cool 😊❤
I beleive its over 700 plants lol
I cracked up when she said that😂
came here to say this hahaha
I don't know how you can stand it. I'd be dribbling and having seizures not being able to bring alot home !!!😊👍🌴
Same lol 😭😭
I live in the neighbouring country to thailand and I can never find these 😢
So true
right!! i wonder too
If I was in that market, I would be doing some on the fly research on what hoops I would need to jump through to bring those plants home! I am drooling over those bare root Whale Fins (The variegated one!!! 😵😭) And those shingling plants growing up the planks of wood. Gah!!
Same thought 😂
Chatuchak is an amazing market. Been lucky enough to visit last time I was in Bangkok, but it is sad to see several orchid species that were obviously taken from the wild being sold there. I know that it is a very delicate topic, since they are the livelihood of entire families, but cannot help but feeling sad that not enough is being done to raise awareness in different parts of the world for this problem.
We normally use crane to move the big tree in and out the market here in Thailand :)
Thanks for the input!!
I thought so. Lol
That is a lot of hard work.
I'd love to watch that as it's being done. Of course I'd be holding my breath the whole time.
Wow!
I would definitely buy all the Hoyas!
I'm one of the Sanseviera fans that are up in arms 🙈 So that's where you'd find me. It was so great seeing your kid at Disneyland joy in the market. Great episode! 😊
Same here! The growth habit of Sansevierias and Dracaenas are so different (foliage straight up out of soil v. Growing from a stem or trunk) they need their own category! Also, it was only this year I learned the Latin name for Sansevierias...and my auto-correct just FINALLY learned to recognize the word. I don't want to have to start all over!
Visited this plant market last year & went bonkers just looking & admiring all the awesome plants. The vendors there also sell plant accessories, soil, etc - actually they sell everything related to plants.👍
First of all a big thank you for sharing this wonderful world of plants. A night market for plants beautiful idea. Little beauty sanseveria cleopatra ,big cactus, hoyas I like them all very muh. See u tomorrow. Good night. .
Glad you're enjoying. New 'Plant One On Me' video will come out on Sunday! But I'll see you for '365 Days of Plants' tomorrow!
This was a good one Summer! That Sansevieria Cleopatra. Now that one could fit in a suitcase.
Omg! Finally you came to Bangkok (my city). I’m your huge fan. I learned how to love plants by watching your videos. Right now I have around 15 different plants in my room. 😉
It’s really best that one visits a huge market like this to explore and not buy. Treat it as you would an art museum, so you can take in the fascinating beauty and novelty, without intrusive thoughts of acquisition. If you do want to buy then make two separate visits. The first to make purchases, with a shopping list, or at least a general idea of what you’re looking for. Then make a return visit only to look and enjoy, not buy. I’ve done this with large nursery’s. This is also my strategy with big orchid shows, like Philadelphia and San Francisco. It really makes for a more enjoyable experience. ~ If I had to choose, I would have purchased a couple of the caudiciforms you showed. That’s becoming my new obsession.
When I go to shop, I typically have that list of what I'm looking for so it's easy in, easy out, because otherwise I find browsing and shopping intensely draining. I think by chance, because I wasn't buying anything, I inevitably was following your exact suggestions-treating it as if in a museum, which is an excellent suggestion!
How you managed to talk at that market is amazing. I was speechless watching this and seeing all those incredible plants. I'm so glad you are making this series as I'm heading there soon.
This's one of the coolest plant vids I've seen. Everyone of us who watches this will trudge disappointedly to our local markets and shops for the next few weeks
The Chatuchak Plant Market is extremely high on my bucket list. The many varieties of Sansevieria would all be coming home with me. Lol. You should definitely get yourself a Cleopatra. So easy to care for and such great rewards of continuous beauty. Thanks for posting. Enjoy the rest of your time in Thailand!!!
Thanks so much! And I agree, Chatuchak is up there for a bucket lister.
Now that is a plant market! You could spend hours and hours there. I really enjoyed this.
Omg it’s so hard to travel and see all the plants you want and can’t bring home 😭😭😭 thank you for the field trip Summer!!
Holy plants! Its like plant heaven right there, I would not be able to control my plant buying habits...
Wow! and more wow! I would be having heart palpitations and trouble breathing from all of the beautiful plants that I was seeing and then thinking to myself how sad that I couldn't bring a big chunk of them home with me, my goodness the plant life in Thailand is amazing. Thanks so much Summer this is breathtaking to be able to see.
My jaw dropped seeing those variegated ZZs!! Wow!!
I've been to Bangkok several times, and I'm hating myself for not checking out Chatuchak!!!
Thank you so much. How did you not grab some ( not steal). How could you not go insane seeing all these gifts of Mother Earth. I love all kinds of cacti.
I would be aaaaalll over the strange caudex plants or anything strange for that matter. Looks like I’m moving to Thailand
Wow, wow and wow! Can’t wait to see the rest of the series
omg a night market for plants, this is amazing
This video should be titled "Summer Rayne Oakes fangirling over plants in Bangkok for 15:39" haha! Awesome to see all these incredible plants!
Cool plants there. Nice to be able to visit after dark to avoid the broiling hot sun.
Unbelievable plant collection.. I genuinely don't know what to say.. I'm in awe 👌🙂
Super glad you enjoyed Thailand.
Hope to see you on your next visit.
สวัสดีครับ
Wow wow wow!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Wow those caudex plants!
The Hoya Imbricata for sure would be in my cart. Amazing display!
The HAWORTHIA!! Thailand has such a specialty of collector’s Haworthia and Astrophytum, I would go nuts...
And Aloes, Gymno, Euphobias, .....the list go on!
Thank you for sharing!!! OMG ... how fun!
Thank you so so much summer...I have been to chatuchak market in 2012 once, but didn't know there is a market for live plants. I am sad but same time happy that I have found a reason to go again.Love from India
Welcome to Bangkok 🥰 I went there on Wednesday and Thursday but Tuesday night is much better 💖
i grew up going to chatuchak since i was a kid... now this video TOTALLY blew me off! i am soooooo definitely going on tues nite! gosh, soooo tempting to buy to my heart content and wow! love from singapore
I am totally stressed out by mosquitoe bites you are exposed to. But Again thankful too of your sacrifice for plants.
Wow!!! That was unbelievable. I'd definitely get anything variegated...always my favorite.
Wow...just wow! It's a plant lover's paradise!
Wow! What a wonderful place! I love seeing all the special places you visits. Planet heaven!

Thank you so much Summer for bringing us all around the world.🌍 And those lycopodium ... ❤️
Rewatching my favorite ep. 💓
This is just heaven. Travel + plants vlog in one during quarantine. Dying.
Oh the shingles....
Love this market
I have a feeling that you are holding back to grab those and excited about the whole thing...wow is the only word to describe this market.
Wow! really lots of amazing plants in that market ...
I love those plant collections oh my gosh, I'm literally drooling and have the cheesiest smile. I thought I seen a carnivorous plant! I love those and Philodendron variegated varieties too!
Omg!Omg!Omg!...How do you get through all that wonder and not spend a dime!!!? I would definitely buy hoya, without a doubt! and let me go back to the video to get the name...okay, got the name. I would definitely buy any Rhaphidophora (celatocaulis)...This was fantastic..what a rush!!! On another note...how can someone give you a thumbs down??? It seems unreal to me! Unbelievable!!
Glad you enjoyed it. I was traveling so much, it didn't make sense to get any plants. I was just there to scope (though I did go back with some small planters that can easily fit in luggage). And re: the thumbs down, I don't know who gives thumbs down; I figure people who are jealous or have some other emotional outburst like that; I don't do it on other people's videos; if you don't like something, just don't watch it! But I make the content for people who love to watch, like yourself, so thank you for that :)
@@summerrayneoakes Exactly! Just, go away!! Back your Fantabulous video....oh my!!!
It was delightful seeing you frolic in Hoya blooms galore. :) Hoya mindorensis is btw native to my home-country.
And, wow that dimsum-shaped plant pocket was an interesting see. Anyway, thank you very much as always. We're enjoying your Bangkok tour. Can't wait to see more of it. :)
This was great! Very cool, thanks for taking us along 🙂
Thanks millions for this thrilling video!! Can’t wait to see what you discover in the day time. Love love love the Hoyas too!!!
Wow wow wow thank you for ahowing hs these amazing beauties.

What an amazing market and now I want to go there too. Loved Hoyas but loved that tiny Senserveria more.
Welcome to Thailand! I just went there to buy an osmanthus last Tuesday. And yes, there's just one and I had to grab it like instantly. Glad to see you're having a great time! 😁
Definitely that hot pocket plant LOL 🙃...that market is killing it👍🏼
What an amazing market! I would have to pick up a cactus or two, a verigated monstera deliciosa, a stefania erecta tuber... and some beautiful palms I saw in the background. Thanks for the great video!
💚
spectacular!
Wow!❤
If I were there I would've bought that mature #monsterathaiconstellation and that giant #hoyacarnosacompacta 😍
I love this! Makes me wonder why we don't have night plant markets here in UK. We can all do with one of these!
Wow!! loved this video.....I would also be like a kid in a toy shop!! ♥️♥️♥️
Amazing, incredible and very very very cool! I'd buy the Sansevieria"Cleopatra'.
I loved the Hoya's!!! ❤
I buy everything EVERYTHING!!!!!😍
I saw the thumbnail of s.cleopatra and I immediately clicked! I love mine!!
wow just wow 😮
its nice that you're able to travel and see plants from other countries. 😊
hi Summer, OMG, if I was there I would buy so much, I would buy that albino ZZ plant, the Rhaphidophoras I'm in love with and so much else! Have a great time, cant wait for the next video.
Amazing! I would want one of everything!
Wow, that is a plant lover's paradise! I would probably hoard a lot of philodendrons and cacti if I ever visit that place
Wow...another reason to visit Thailand! That’s an amazing market , thanks for sharing it!
Love evry plant! Thanks for showing the market. I will go there to buy plants after the pandemic.
Thanks a lot Summy for showing an overview of such wonderful plant market. I like Hoyas n other hanging plants.Thanks for sharing such healthy n wealthy information...from Mumbai India.
I’d have to bring home one of those fragrant Hoyas!
I love the watering cover of the bottle.
Thanks for the tour. I loved all of them, but the Hoyas, Wale fins and mostly the Monstera's really caught my attention.
Hi Summer! I just watched the daytime video and enjoyed this one so much, too! I would definitely pick the Hoyas. How fun it would be to be able to smell the different blooms. I only have one Hoya that rarely blooms and I think it is a Publicalyx. I wouldn't even know it was in bloom until I could smell it late at night, then I'd have to find out where the flower was hiding. LOL! I love watching your videos and so appreciate it when you take us to other countries with you. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow Summer! Wonderful video. I can tell you wanted to take half of them home with you 😄lol. Thanks for sharing.🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿
My goodness! I'd buy anything variegated! Those plants!!
More of this!!! 💚
