Created by world-renowned Thai flower arrangement artist Sakul Intakul, the museum is a place to honor the unique artworks and flower culture of Thailand. This museum is a 100-year-old mansion located in a quiet neighborhood that is itself a work of art, with a lovely teak design and a zen-style garden. At the end of the tour, you can stop at an attached tea shop, where you can enjoy tea and sweets.
After that, you will visit Chatuchak Weekend Market, the largest market in Thailand.
