Also commonly called ‘patumma’, ‘bua sawan’ (heaven lotus), or ‘bua bok’ (the land lotus), the Siam Tulip is a member of the ginger genera – Curcuma or Zingiberaceae.
The unusual form, bright colour and long-lasting quality of the Siam Tulip has made it an increasingly popular choice for floral decorations. It is in high demand and is currently being cultivated in the form of cuttings or ornamental plants for local consumption as well as for export overseas, predominantly to Japan and the Netherlands.

7 Romantic Places In Bangkok

Seven Unforgettable Romantic Experiences In Bangkok
Love is in the air, love is in the breeze, and love is everywhere! From sexy and sultry salsa to candlelight and crooning venues, idyllic champagne picnic in Lumpini Park to romantic overnight cruise on a coveted rice barge, Bangkok has everything that every couple would crave. To make your date a special one, to delight your darling with the finest, here
1. The beach

It is beautiful and quiet which makes you feel like there are only your couples in this world. But make sure you book your holiday to the beach well ahead and make sure your hotel have the private beach. The hotels in the big cities like Pattaya and Hua Hin is not to be recommended.
2.Restaurants
A lovely restaurant is the place which many couples need to go to on Valentine’s Day. The restaurant should look romantic like in the garden, next to the lake with the candle lights also the sweet rhythm which makes you feel romantic and give you the best night ever. The Silver Lake outside Pattaya has very romantic settings. In Bangkok I would suggest for Valentine’s a roof top restaurant overlooking the city lights.
3. Beautiful Pavement along the road

Cheap and also you will have many people to be such the witnesses for your love. But it is not easy to find one in Bangkok that is quite and still have good street food and nice experience. Maybe you should try one of China town’s old streets.
4. The bridge

The bridges in Bangok are high and the air is fresh you can get a good view and the city looks lovely. It is cheap as same as No. 3, you don’t have to pay money to be there. And the beautiful river is also being the nice view with charge you nothing. In Thailand we only have a few big bridges and the most common one is near to the flower market in Bangkok.
5. The top of the building

The top of a Bangkok high rice building is romantic because it’s with the nice view ever with lovely night breeze. Good air which will make you calm and fly away with romantic feeling ever. Maybe some friend has a roof top you can borrow or you can book a hotel where you have roof access. Bangkok always looks better from above.
6. The River

If you want to have a chance to take a river cruise on Valentine’s you better hurry up. They very soon get full on any given holiday in Bangkok. In Pattaya you can take your loved one to either Silver Lake or the sea food restaurants near Jomtien.
7. Wine and dine in the park.

Bangkok has several big parks where you can enjoy a nice pick nick with your loved once. In Pattaya you need to search little bit outside from the city to find one. Buy some ready meals and drinks and just relax one day in the park.
