Where are all the Flowers grown?
 

Hey guys, does anyone know where all the flowers are grown in Thailand?Have u been to the Fields? I've asked this question while in Chang Mai in Feb no one was able to tell me.
Not even my driver.There has to be brilliant fields but WHERE?
Thanks!

What kind of flowers are you referring to, like sunflowers?

Lopburi and Saraburi are known for sunflowers.

If you want to see an amazing variety of orchids, you can check out Air Orchid, in Nakom,Pathom.

Dasada Resort, in Pranchinburi, grows a variety of flowers.

Well, different kinds of flowers in different places. Many years ago - back in the late 1980s - I visited an orchid farm outside of Chiang Mai where they grew the big sprays of orchids you see everywhere. Your question may have been too general for anyone to answer.

I suspect many are grown in protected settings as the sun is so hot

I saw many fields with protective plastic covers, like tunnels, covering hillsides along the slopes of Doi Inthanon. I suspect the cooler weather of the higher slopes could promote flower growing. I don't know if people populations there are large enough to support very big fields. Take Hiway 1009 from Chomthong to Khun Klang, and beyond.

Thanks, I was looking for fields of any kind of flowers for photographs.
Love that..

If still in Chiangmai, Krisidadoi would offer some great gardens to check out. It's not "fields", but it offers great variety of flowers, plants and landscaping

I checked that website, Curt. Odd that nearly all the flowers are 'western'. Like, tulips, mums, zinnia, marigold, etc. Not claiming all above originated in the west but are not native tropical flowers. I see many fabulous flowers, and viney floral plants during my walks round Chiang Mai. And the tropical fruit pods, big leathery things and winged balls, are really imaginative.

There are wonderful flower markets as you all know in C.M as well as,Bangkok.I thought there has to
Fields of all sorts of flowers grown somewhere near C.M.
.

Near to Chiang Mai there are some fields but high up in the mountains (Doi). Here's a good magazine article in English that you might find interesting: http://www.thaiwaysmagazine.com/thai..._paradise.html

Not mentioned in the article and with a good collection, fields and gardens, of flowers near to Chiang Mai:

1. Doi Ang Khang Royal Agricultural Station.
2. Bhubing Palace.
3. Boonrawd Farm near Chiang Rai will eventually have a lot of flowers.
4. Thai "Cherry Blossom", very seasonal, found around the mountains of Pai, Doi Ang Khang, Baan Khun Chang Kiang. Very pretty but hard to get to.

There are some sunflower fields but they are not as nice as those in the States.

Forgot about the poppy fields but go at your own risk!

Great thanks again.
