The northeastern province of Chaiyaphum invites all to its Pa Hin Ngam and Sai Thong national parks, two of the Kingdom's best spots to appreciate the beautiful blooms of bua sawan, a kind of krachiao.
From now to August, the deciduous forests of both parks, which are about 60km apart, are not only lush and refreshing, but they will also be adorned by the pinkish blooms of bua sawan whose scientific name is Curcuma alismatifolia. The peak period is expected to begin in mid-June and last until early August.
At Pa Hin Ngam, there will also be a fair where visitors can enjoy local goodies and hand-made products from cotton fabrics to silk.
For more information, call Pa Hin Ngam on 044-056-141 or Sai Thong on 089-282-3437. Each park has a Facebook page.
All the fun of the fair
