Such a fun and relaxing experience. I never knew making a Thai flower garland could be so calming and enjoyable. The jasmine flowers smelled amazing, and the instructor made everything easy to follow even for beginners. The market tour was also really interesting and gave me a deeper look into Thai culture. Definitely one of the most unique activities I tried in Bangkok.
I joined a flower garden class at White Lotus and it was so amazing. I was surrounded by the fragrance of the Jasmine flower. It was so relaxing and calming as we get to do our own garland by hand. It is a very crafting work, but it’s still not too difficult for a beginner like me so if you ever have a chance, you should try it and you will be more mindful, calm and attentive. Everything was so nice. They took us to the market for a market tour. And served us the mango sticky rice a dessert from their cooking class. It was so good. And the instructor is very cute and helpful. She would help you do whenever you’re struggling. I really recommend this activity. You should try!!!
This was one of the most memorable experiences during my stay in Thailand. I've always loved Thai garlands and wanted to try making one myself, so I was thrilled to learn how to do it this time. Our instructor, Poon-sensei, was excellent in both English and Japanese, and her explanations were very clear, which made me feel comfortable participating. Beyond just making garlands, she also took us to a market and taught us a lot about ingredients used in Thai cuisine, as well as the flowers and materials used for garlands. Furthermore, we learned how to pay respects at a Thai temple, making it a truly valuable experience. To top it all off, we were treated to mango sticky rice at the end. It was a wonderful workshop where I felt fully immersed in Thai culture from beginning to end. I'm so glad I participated.
We received a detailed explanation of the flowers and ingredients sold in the market, how to use garlands, and Thai culture. Making the garland was so much fun, and being surrounded by the lovely scent of jasmine was incredibly relaxing. The instructor was kind and taught us many things, and we also enjoyed Thai sweets and mango sticky rice. It was a very enriching experience and highly recommended!
I had such a lovely time at this flower garland workshop . Everything was beautifully prepared, from the fresh jasmine flowers to the Thai snacks and welcome drink. The class was very hands-on and relaxing, and I loved learning about the meaning behind Thai flower garlands. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful and creative activity in Bangkok. One of the sweetest cultural experiences I’ve had in Thailand. The flower market tour was colorful and fun, and making my own jasmine garland felt surprisingly therapeutic. The instructor was patient and helpful throughout the whole class. I left with a beautiful handmade garland and so many nice memories.
I have joined the Thai flower garland workshop at the White Lotus recently. Enjoyed very much. Nice and very clean place. It took about 2 hours to make a beautiful flower garland by myself. The teacher, Poon, is super! She is very lovely and patient with all the students. I dont want to believe that finally I can make the garland beautifully by myself. They also offered some Thai desserts for us too. This is worth the money to pay. I recommend everyone who is interested in this activity. 10/10 score
Such a lovely experience 🌸I joined the Thai flower garland workshop at White Lotus and enjoyed every part of it. From exploring Pak Khlong Talat Flower Market to learning how to make my own jasmine garland by hand. The class was relaxing, beginner-friendly, and surprisingly therapeutic. The scent of fresh jasmine flowers made the whole atmosphere feel so calming ✨ The instructor was kind and patient, and the Thai snacks after the market tour were so delicious too! Definitely recommend this if you’re looking for a unique cultural activity in Bangkok 🌼
I loved this class! One of the things that I wanted to do the most when I came to Thailand was try making a garland like in this class. The experience was very enjoyable and also very well organised. The intructions to find the location were accurate and staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommended joining this activity.
Loved the experience. Poon was very acknowledgeable. She explained the different types of flowers used in making all the different garlands. She showed and explained to us many things in the market from flowers to herbs, to fresh fruit. The in class experience was amazing. She took her time to explain the types of flowers used and what they mean. The welcome drink was amazing, a butterfly tea and mango sticky rice was an amazing treat to end the class. Overall, she was fun to talk to about anything. She even gave us food recommendations for the rest of our stay. She told us this was a newer beginners class they started, would love to see more levels of garland making in the future. Would highly recommend and do again if they add more advanced classes.
I highly recommend this class to everyone! The classroom environment was excellent, and the teacher was patient, knowledgeable, and very enthusiastic about helping me take many beautiful photos. I had a wonderful time! Exploring the market also allowed me to see many vegetables and flowers I'd never seen before. It was a fantastic experience!
