Ratchaburi flower shop spices things up
On 13th February 2022, Ratchaburi Florist, Panthachok Boutique Flowers, posted a picture of a bouquet comprised of a single rose and 10 ฿1,000 (~USD30) bills.
Another image on the page shows a bouquet with ฿25,000 (~USD766) and three red roses in the centre.
Since then, wind of the store’s cash bouquets have been picked up by Thai news outlet, Sanook News.
The publication explains that these flower arrangements are offered seasonally, and was innovated by the owner, Mr. Weerawat Kittiphatpinyo.
Mr. Kittiphatpinyo came up with the idea last year in 2021, when he noticed a dip in flower orders as well as other celebratory treats.
To combat the decrease in sales, the owner then created a way where people can send money to their loved ones along with some flowers.
Bouquets start at ฿150 (~USD5)
With this new product, the flower shop saw a spike in orders.
In fact, they shared that someone ordered a bouquet with ฿200,000 (~USD6,127) worth of cash. In exchange, the store charged ฿4,000 (~USD123).
However, not every bouquet is this pricey.
The owner stresses that with the current situation, he is sympathetic of his customers and is ready to offer bouquets starting at ฿150 (~USD5).
The flower shop is also able to fold bank notes into roses and even offers 24H delivery.
There are many ways to show your love
Cash bouquets are certainly one way to show your special someone that you care about them.
I mean, who wouldn’t want to receive a bouquet of bills folded into roses? They require little watering and can even be redeemed for other gifts in the future.
In all seriousness, though, Valentine’s Day isn’t all about extravagant gifts, but simply about your love for each other.
So, whether it’s homemade pancakes, chocolates or flowers, we’re positive that your s/o will appreciate whatever it is you get for them. Yes, even if it’s not a cash bouquet.
