Top 5 Occasions to Send Flowers in Thailand (And What to Choose)
Share
Sending flowers never goes out of style. In Thailand, giving flowers is not just about beauty—it’s a meaningful gesture that reflects care, respect, celebration, and sometimes sympathy. Whether you’re living in Thailand as an expat, planning a surprise for a Thai friend, or simply looking for the perfect bouquet to match the occasion, here’s your guide to the top 5 moments when flowers speak louder than words—plus what to choose.
1. Mother’s Day in Thailand & Worldwide – Two Dates, One Loving Gesture
In Thailand, Mother’s Day is celebrated on August 12th, honoring the birthday of Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother. Thai families often celebrate by giving fragrant white jasmine garlands, symbolizing a mother’s pure and selfless love. Children present flowers to their mothers as a heartfelt expression of gratitude and affection—a tradition that’s both touching and uniquely Thai.
But let’s not forget the international Mother’s Day, celebrated on the second Sunday of May in countries like the US, UK, and Canada. Many international families living in Thailand choose to celebrate both.
What to send:
- Traditional: White jasmine garlands (ดอกมะลิ)
- Elegant alternatives: Bouquets with white roses, pink carnations, or soft pastel hydrangeas
- Available with same-day flower delivery in Bangkok and major cities

2. Graduation – A Big Milestone Deserves Big Blooms
In Thailand, graduation is a huge celebration filled with joy, pride, and photo opportunities. Whether it's a university or high school graduation, it’s common for friends and family to surprise graduates with flowers, plush toys, and balloons right at the ceremony.
What to send:
- Bright, cheerful blooms like sunflowers, gerberas, or rainbow rose bouquets
- Add a cute teddy bear or graduation-themed card for extra charm

3. Birthday – Say “Happy Birthday” with Blossoms
A birthday bouquet is a classic way to show love, friendship, or romantic interest. In Thai culture, flower color and style can reflect the mood—romantic, joyful, or elegant.
What to send:
- Romantic: Red roses, pink tulips, or “Coffee & Cream” rose bouquets
- Fun & cheerful: Sunflowers, multi-color tulips, or bright mixed blooms
- Sophisticated: White hydrangeas or pastel-toned arrangements

4. Respecting Elders – Especially During Songkran (Thai New Year)
Songkran in April is more than just water fights—it’s also a time to show respect to elders and ask for their blessings. Offering flowers is a gentle and beautiful part of this tradition.
What to send:
- Jasmine garlands, lotus flowers, and white orchids
- Arrangements in soft colors like white, cream, or lavender
- Classic Thai-inspired floral trays or garlands

5. Sympathy & Condolences – When Words Aren’t Enough
In times of loss, a thoughtful floral arrangement can say what words cannot. In Thailand, sympathy flowers are often sent directly to the family’s home or to the temple where funeral ceremonies are held.
What to send:
- Simple, respectful tones—white roses, lilies, or orchids
- Choose subtle arrangements or traditional standing wreaths
