Prepare yourself for a sensory journey as you explore the enchanting world of 260 exquisite rose varieties at “Eternal Bloom: The Silk Rose Garden,” unfolding its petals from today through 15 December 2024 at the luxurious Parc Paragon, nestled in the heart of Siam Paragon. This magnificent floral display is a tribute to His Majesty the King’s 6th birthday cycle, brought to life by the collaborative efforts of Flora Park and Rose Park Wangnamkaew, alongside Siam Paragon. Renowned both locally and internationally, this event marks Bangkok’s premier grand rose exhibition—a spectacle not to be missed by flower enthusiasts and curious visitors alike!
This fragrant affair not only honors His Majesty but also celebrates the robust ties between Thailand and China. Open to everyone without charge, it’s a floral fantasy open for exploration throughout its run.
A notable highlight of this blossoming extravaganza will occur on 10 December 2024, as Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn is set to grace the garden with a private visit at 5:30 p.m., adding a touch of royal elegance to the event.
The garden itself is a floral wonderland, hosting over 30,000 dazzling rose blossoms from 260 distinct varieties. Be prepared to be awestruck by 12 exceptionally rare hybrid roses from China, making their debut under new Thai monikers. This includes the regal ruby-red “Heart of Tosakan,” the delicate creamy pink “Hunsaa,” the sunlit brilliance of “Piang Chan,” and the sophisticated pinkish hues of “Pethara,” a climbing rose that adapts magnificently to Thailand’s hospitable climate.
Beyond the delightful visual feast, the event offers a cornucopia of rose-themed experiences. Visitors can delve into multimedia art inspired by the queen of flowers, created by top-notch digital artists. For those with a penchant for culinary treats, head to the Rose Café, where you can savor rose-infused beverages and decadent desserts, thoughtfully crafted by Executive Pastry Chef Nicolas Vergnole from Capella Bangkok. And if you’re keen on keepsakes, don’t forget to collect rose-themed passport stamps, designed by illustrious Thai artists such as Jirayu Koo and Pomme Chan. Plant aficionados can also take home a slice of the magic with potted roses, sourced from around the globe by the expert Siam Rose team.
Topping it all off, Siam Paragon extends an invitation to “A Night of Roses: An Immersive Dining Experience” on 11 December 2024 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. Prepare your taste buds for a sumptuous five-course culinary adventure featuring luxurious Alba White Truffle and Caspian Sea Caviar, concocted by the culinary maestros Kunanun “Mike” Lertpisitkul and Sebastiano Campanelli from Chenin.

This rose exhibition sounds absolutely magical! I can’t wait to visit and see the Heart of Tosakan. Thailand knows how to celebrate in style.
I agree! The hybrid roses sound intriguing, but I can’t help but feel uneasy about foreign plants overshadowing the native species.
That’s a valid point. However, such events can actually increase biodiversity awareness and encourage local horticulture too.
I read that these events boost tourism and cultural exchange, but we should ensure environmental safeguards are in place.
Does anyone else think a five-course meal with caviar and truffle feels too luxurious at a flower show? Might be a bit out of touch.
I think it’s a brilliant way to showcase the blend of art, culture, and cuisine. Plus, it adds sophistication.
Agreed, the pricing seems off-putting for average visitors like me. Would love something more accessible.
The fusion of culinary and floral art can create unforgettable experiences, but it should cater to a wider audience.
This is a significant cultural event, but imagine the overwhelming crowd on HRH’s visit day. Hope they manage the visitors well.
Managing such crowds is always tough, especially with royal visits. They usually have excellent organization, though.
I went to a similar event last year. The organization was flawless. I’m sure they’ll pull it off without a hitch.
Real question: what’s the carbon footprint of this event? Flying in roses and chefs can’t be sustainable!
Great point. They should consider carbon offsets or focus more on native species and local talent.
Events like these raise awareness and promote conservation. But yes, sustainability is key for future planning.
How interesting that this exhibit also reflects the historical ties between Thailand and China. Such events are an excellent form of soft diplomacy.
Do you think it’s worth dealing with the traffic and crowds to see the exhibit? I love roses, but it sounds intense.
If you’re passionate about roses, it’s worth every minute. Besides, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime exhibition.
I second that. Best to go early on weekdays when it’s less crowded.
The multimedia art exhibit sounds fascinating. Flowers interpreted through digital art could really enhance appreciation.
Hoping the event boosts local businesses! These fests usually bring good sales to shops in the area.
Absolutely, these events can have a significant economic impact on the community.
I’m more interested in the rose café. Imagine enjoying rose flavored desserts while surrounded by these blooms!
With free entrance, I’ve got concerns about overcrowding and maintaining the exhibits’ quality throughout the event.
Can you purchase the 12 hybrid roses? Would love to have them in my garden!
I believe they’re for display only, but check with the event. They might offer seeds or potted versions.
Such events showcase Thai creativity and passion. Proud to see our culture celebrated through this horticultural mastery.
I hope the artistic representation centers on the roses’ natural beauty, without overcommercializing everything.
