Good to know before you order
- Address: Thai addresses are hard to find from an English spelling alone. A Thai version, a map pin or a landmark helps the courier.
- Phone number: couriers usually call the recipient. Make sure the person can answer, and tell them to expect flowers.
- Hotels and condos: flowers are normally handed to reception or the building's front desk. Add the guest's name and room number.
- Time difference: Thailand is on UTC+7 all year, with no daylight saving. Plan your order by the florist's cutoff time, not by your own clock.
