Celebrate Mother’s Day in May: How to Send Flowers in Thailand

In many countries around the world, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of May—and this year, that special day falls on May 11th. While Thailand officially celebrates Mother’s Day in August, many expats living here still choose to honor their moms in May, staying connected to their home traditions.
If you're living in Thailand and want to send flowers to your mom (whether she’s here with you or back home), here's everything you need to know to make this Mother’s Day extra special.

In countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, and many parts of Europe, Mother’s Day is widely celebrated in May. It’s a heartfelt day filled with love, gratitude, and gestures that show just how much we appreciate our mothers.
For expats in Thailand, May is still the perfect time to express love—especially when it’s paired with a beautiful bouquet.
