Planning a trip with fellow Singapore hobbyists to visit Thai Molly farms.
We will visit Nakhon Pathom province (just west of Bangkok) and the surrounding areas like Ratchaburi. This region is the absolute heart of Thailand’s commercial ornamental fish farming, where the vast majority of the country’s livebearers (mollies, guppies, platies) are bred.

Also consider the Fish Section at Chatuchak Market (specifically the Srinakarin or Plaza zones behind JJ Mall) on a Tuesday or Wednesday. This is when the provincial farm owners from Nakhon Pathom drive down themselves to set up wholesale pop-up shops. You will find thousands of Balloon Mollies packed in oxygen bags straight from the farms at rock-bottom prices
