This international horticulture show opened shortly before we arrived in Thailand. Among other displays, the web site boasts that thousands of orchids will be on view. I bought my tickets (at about $2.60 each) before we left home.<br /><br />We start by visiting the outdoor orchid park, where orchids "grow" from the ground and in the trees in vast profusion. Ok, so it doesn't look "real," but it is still beautiful.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/7808/1761/1600/766619/2006_11_08-04_23_32.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
