Just to correct.
This can be  Vanda coerulea if the diameter of the flower is more than
4cm. If less then it should be Vanda coerulescens.

I had posted the same image on the Orchids group in Flickr and a French orchid enthusiast in Thailand (Philippe Christophe) who is interested in Vanda species had remarked that this was a "stunning form of Vanda coerulea". He has a website vandaspecies.blogspot.com. I am a complete novice - becoming interested in all sorts of flora.

I dont know how the above mail came here. I wrote this for another
