                    [Summary] => 



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.
