In my last article, I talked about the Cactus and Succulent Society’s visit to world-renowned Chatuchak market to marvel at the beautiful plants available there on "Plant Day." The society members also had the chance to visit three of the best C&S nurseries around Bangkok. For today’s column, I will feature one such visit, to possibly the largest commercial grower of C&S in Bangkok, Somphop Tantiveerakul’s Cactus House in Prasamutjedee, a suburb of Bangkok.
In my last issue, I featured one of our great friends, succulent grower extraordinaire Ian Hay, who spent 17 years in the Philippines before moving back to Sydney, Australia. He is one of a very select few lifetime members of the Philippine Cactus and Succulent Society and is currently the president (for the last three years) of the Cactus and Succulent Society of New South Wales. Ian now works at Austrade in Sydney.

I always like to feature the travels of our various Cactus & Succulent Society members when their itineraries include visits to succulent gardens, nurseries and habitats. And it is sometimes amazing where our members go in search of our beloved plants.
