It's not just a flower market.
It's a 24/7 wholesale and retail flower market that covers several blocks of Bangkok, Thailand.
It is a place where the non-stop pace of the city is turned back just a little bit by the aroma of fresh flowers and produce. It is a place where smiles abound, because of the overwhelming power of the sights, the smells, the softness and the colors.
Of all the high pressure jobs you can find for yourself in a big city this has to be among the least stressful. It is both physical and creative. Mind and body are engaged.
The fact the city of Bangkok requires and can support a flower market this big - one that never closes - must say something good about the people here.
Hard working. Prideful. Kind. Friendly. Seeking happiness.
It is serious business, but it is the commerce of beauty.
