Besides Chatuchak, there's a plant oasis on Liab Duan
Bangkok might not be famous for its sweeping green spaces or for being a haven of tranquility, but the city's dedicated plant parents always know exactly where to find their next leafy companions. While Chatuchak Market remains the go-to for many people, there is another massive, budget-friendly green hub hidden away on the outskirts of the city center that deserves a spot on your radar.
That place is none other than Pradit Manutham Road—known by locals as Liab Duan (along the expressway). This bustling thoroughfare has evolved into a paradise for botanophiles, lined with dozens of independent gardening shops. Whether you are hunting for tiny cacti, indoor air-purifying monstera varieties, or large perennial trees, you can easily spend hours exploring the winding lanes around Pradit Manutham Soi 27 to find the latest green addition to refresh your home.
Granted, hunting for plants under the Bangkok sun can get incredibly hot. Luckily, tucked deep within this hidden tree hub is a nameless, unassuming little coffee stall. It’s the absolute perfect pitstop to grab an iced espresso, catch your breath, and recharge before heading back out into the greenery.
