Hi Edmond, I hope that these will help you; Neofarm (Khun Nong and Khun Sak) - www.neofarmthailand.com/index.php?lay=show&ac=article&Id=24646&Ntype=6nepenthes cafe' - www.nepenthescafe.com/Exoflora - www.exoflora.net/Siamexotica - siamexotica.com/There's quite a few others but since my computer crash last week that's all I can pull up easily! There are also a few shops at Jutajak Market (Chutajuk)? It's a huge marketplace on the weekends but most of the exotic plant places are only open on Wed/Thurs. But you will probably find something of interest anyway even on the weekend. Across the main street are about 2-4 blocks of plant shops as well, but I don't think many specialize in CPs...but there's so much to see it's worth the walking.  Shawn ps Please let me know what/where you find the gems, as I am planning a trip to BNK at the end of the month! |

hi shawn , Thank for the info but too bad mostly the words is in thai word The market "Chatuchak" is one of the location that i will pay a visit. Any problem to bring back the plants? A lot of the writing is in Thai script but most of the pricing and names are in English. On Neofarm's site just look on the menu for the "english" page link or go to the Neps page and look at the pictures, names and prices. They were really great with me when I was there and the prices were lower! Remember to check Chutujak on Wed/Thur. if you're there as that's the "plant days" (not a lot else though and it starts REALLY early (pre-dawn)! I'm not sure about problems bringing plants back into Malaysia, but I doubt it. Are you flying or driving? A friend just flew from BNK to Samui with some neps for me as carry on luggage and had no problem. Good Luck! ;D |

Hi shawn and cepherum, thanks for the info. i went to Thailand already. As scheduled , i went to Chatucak market and saw some nep, sundw (d. spatulata, D, capensis) ,VFT and Sarra. The price is expensive or maybe i did not bargain with them. However, i bought one sarra from there.  |
