Roses bloom in Tak for 50 loving couples
Play
Fifty couples will celebrate and legalise their unions on Valentine’s Day at picturesque Rai Pathom Phetch rose plantation in Tak.
The plantation is in Phop Phra district, which has nearly 2,000 rai of roses in cultivation, making it the country’s largest supplier of the blooms.
Each couple will also receive a “thousand-year rose” in a glass jar for participating in “Phop Phra, Pop Rak, Kep Rak Sai Lo”, which translates as “We found love at Phop Phra and keep our love in a glass jar”.
The province, district office and Tourism Authority of Thailand are all collaborating on the event with plantation owner Paradorn Kanda.
Roses symbolise love and romance and are thus a popular choice as Valentine’s Day gifts.
