How a Home Greenhouse Could Sell Houseplants to the Whole Country
Ton Mai started as a hobby greenhouse behind a house in Nakhon Pathom. Friends and weekend-market shoppers loved the plants, but anyone further away had to ask for photos and prices in a chat first.

The challenge
Every plant is different, so every sale started with a photo, a price and a question about care. Answering the same questions in chat took longer than watering the greenhouse.
“People loved the plants but had to message me for every photo and price. Now each plant has its own page with care tips, I get about 50 orders a week, and roughly a third come from other provinces.”
How Ton Mai uses Suriya
One Shop Link
The whole greenhouse is on one shop page, shared the same way in weekend-market flyers, LINE chats and social posts.
PromptPay and Card Checkout
Customers pay by PromptPay QR or card at checkout, with no questions in chat first.
