Climate might help, but there is a lot of work and effort behind these beautiful blooms 😊
Lovely photos as always!

Not with roses definitely 😁 (four pots with dead rose plants on the balcony).
The Northern climate helps too. The North is super rich with flowers, starting with early bloomers that bloom right from the snow through daffodils and tulips to wildflower fields and summer blossoms and ending with shrubs that get bright colors in autumn... Let's say the Soviet Union where I was born never tried to look as a blossoming garden 😁
Bangkok (and Thailand) is a large place from the point of decorative plants, and not every country has so large industry/market of plants and so many enthusiasts.
There are explanations like a peaceful life and large economy of Bangkok that has been supporting the rich and middle class for a long while. But it's also about culture imo. Thai people don't have the talent to overwork or turn their kids into slaves of science or sports like some Asian nations. Thai philosophy is the opposite, it's about the comfort of body and mind, for yourself and the people around you. And gardening quite fits into this ideology.
