Here's some pics of the exhibition / bazaar at Hatyai, Thailand. This is an annual event held in celebration with her majesty Queen of Thailand's brithday. It actually covers a lot of other things like car, agriculture, horticulture and foods... lots of it

The weather was really hot that day and I'm exhausted from heat, so I tried my best to take some pics to share... wished it could be more...

Grapes that can do fairly well in tropical climate

Hi Rob,

Very nice and interesting pics. Wish i was there as well. May i know the venue for the exhibition...think i might go there next year. Thanks.

Harris,
The pricing for Thai hybrids which were sold in Thailand usually is quite reasonable...

Teoh,
The venue is at Hatyai General Hospital/ University just opposite Tesco Lotus. The event will usually go on for 2 weeks if not mistaken. Orchid lovers will have a field day there...

Very nice, thanks for sharing.... Robert, that is Tolumnia/mini ondicium. Not easy to care for. Likes to dry out between waterings. Can be mounted directly on wood without any moss. Needs fungicide spraying in rainy weather or it will succumb to fungal diseases...
