When is Thai Mother’s Day?
Thai Mother’s Day falls on 12 August, the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit. Families often give flowers, visit parents, and share meals. If you live overseas, the practical goal is simple: the bouquet should arrive on 11 or 12 August Thailand time—not by your home clock.
Peak days are busy. Advance orders are calmer for everyone: you, the florist, and your mum.
What flowers should you send for Thai Mother’s Day?
| Choice | Why it fits | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Soft pink roses | Warm, affectionate, easy to love | You want a clear “thank you, Mum” feeling |
| White roses or white accents | Clean, respectful, elegant | You prefer a calm, classic look |
| Lilies (often with roses) | Polished and gift-ready | You want height and a premium finish |
| Orchids | Long-lasting and widely respected in Thailand | Mum likes plants or desk-friendly blooms |
| Jasmine garlands | Traditional Mother’s Day symbol | You are local or can visit a market |
In Thailand, white jasmine is traditionally associated with Mother’s Day and pure, lasting affection. Fresh jasmine garlands are often handmade at local markets. For online delivery across Chiang Mai, we usually recommend a soft bouquet or orchid arrangement that travels well and still feels sincere.

Soft pink roses for a warm thank-you
Pink roses are one of the easiest Mother’s Day choices when you want affection without a Valentine’s-style red statement.
Roses and white lilies for an elegant gift
A rose-and-lily mix feels polished for mums who like classic, gift-ready arrangements.
Orchids when you want something lasting
Orchids are a strong Mother’s Day option in Thailand: respectful, sculptural, and often longer-lasting than cut mixed bouquets.
Browse more orchid styles in our orchid collection, or soft rose options in rose bouquets.
A cheerful mixed bouquet if you are unsure
If Mum likes bright, friendly flowers more than formal arrangements, a sunny mixed bouquet is a safe, happy choice.
How do you order Mother’s Day flowers from abroad?
Treat Mother’s Day like any date-sensitive overseas gift: lock the Thailand delivery date first, then choose flowers and write the card.
- Pick the bouquet in the catalog — soft pink, white accents, lilies, or orchids work especially well.
- Choose delivery for 11 or 12 August using Thailand time (ICT), not your local clock.
- Add Mum’s details — full name, Thai mobile number, and a clear address or Google Maps pin.
- Write a short card message — one sincere sentence is usually enough.
- Pay online with an international card through Stripe checkout.
Payment, time zones, hotels, Maps pins, and “recipient does not answer” tips are covered in send flowers to Thailand from abroad. For destination notes, see clear flower delivery addresses in Chiang Mai and hotel flower delivery.
What should you write on a Mother’s Day card?
Keep the note short and personal. Examples you can adapt:
- “Thank you for everything, Mum. Happy Mother’s Day.”
- “Thinking of you from afar — with love today and always.”
- “For all the quiet ways you take care of us. Happy Mother’s Day.”
- “Wish I could be there — these flowers are sending my love instead.”

A Chiang Mai florist's honest advice
If you are in Chiang Mai on 12 August, a fresh jasmine garland from a local market can feel deeply traditional. For delivery from abroad, a soft bouquet or orchid is usually the better practical choice: it travels cleanly, photographs well, and arrives ready to display.
We do not recommend waiting until the last hour on peak days. Same-day may still be possible in Chiang Mai during working hours when flowers and couriers are available — see same-day flower delivery — but Mother’s Day is calmer when you order ahead.
Also check peak celebration pricing on 11–12 August if you order on those spike days. Advance orders for Mother’s Day delivery are usually the smoother path. Full rules: delivery policy.
Common mistakes
- ✗ Choosing the delivery date in your home time zone — Mum may receive flowers a day early or late in Thailand.
- ✗ Leaving only a building name without Mum’s full name and Thai phone — the courier may not reach anyone on arrival.
- ✗ Expecting a traditional jasmine garland from every online florist — garlands are often a market craft; soft bouquets and orchids are the reliable delivery options.
- ✗ Waiting until 12 August afternoon from overseas — Thailand may already be deep into the celebration day.
FAQ
Can I send Thai Mother’s Day flowers to Chiang Mai from another country?
Yes. Browse the catalog, choose 11 or 12 August for delivery in Thailand time, enter Mum’s details, and pay with an international card. For full overseas checkout help, see send flowers to Thailand from abroad.
Do I have to send jasmine for Thai Mother’s Day?
No. Jasmine is the traditional symbol, especially as garlands, but soft pink roses, white accents, lilies, and orchids are warmly received. Choose what matches Mum’s taste and what travels well for delivery.
When should I order if I live overseas?
Order at least one day ahead in Thailand time so delivery can land on 11 or 12 August. Earlier is better on peak celebration days. Same-day options depend on order time and area — see same-day flower delivery in Chiang Mai.
Can you deliver to Mum’s home, condo, or hotel?
Yes. Add the full name, place name, Thai phone number, and a Google Maps pin when helpful. Hotel stays need the guest name as registered — see hotel flower delivery in Chiang Mai.
Is there a Mother’s Day discount?
For 2026, advance orders can use code MOM10: 10% off flower items of ฿1,500+ when you order before 11 August for delivery on 11–12 August. Orders placed on the peak days themselves follow peak celebration pricing instead. Details appear at checkout and in the delivery policy.
What if I miss 12 August?
You can still send a thank-you bouquet any day. Soft pink, white, lily, and orchid styles work year-round for “thinking of you, Mum” moments — not only on Mother’s Day.
Reader offer (2026): Use code MOM10 for 10% off flower items of ฿1,500 or more (before delivery). Order by 10 August 2026 (Thailand time) for delivery on 11 or 12 August. Advance orders only — not for orders placed on 11–12 August. Delivery fees are separate. Cannot replace peak-day pricing if you order on the spike days.
