Purpose is The Chiang Mai Flower Festival is not only a beautiful event but an important event for the provinces horticultural industry that has become known as one of Thailand’s major exporters of fresh cut flowers, ornamental plants, and a range of other horticultural products. Over 200 varieties of flowering and ornamental plants will be on display during the 3 day festival.
Visitors to the Chiang Mai Flower Festival will be treated to parades with flower covered floats, flower competitions and horticultural exhibits that have no equal. As well there will be many craftsmen on hand displaying their wares in the tradition of excellence only known in Chiang Mai. The legendary Lanna Thai artisans, long-recognized for their exquisite craftsmanship, will have many pieces of art on display and for sale. The Chiang Mai Flower Festival will also feature traditional and contemporary floral art by many artisans. The Chiang Mai Flower Festival is definitely one of Thailand’s most beautiful and vibrant festivals, definitely not one to be missed. If all goes as planned I will be in attendance this year and hope to bring back tons of great photos.
