Mighty Tulip Farm Bloom Chiang Rai Park Thailand
There is a Tulip Farm in Thailand Suan Tung Lae Khom Chiang Rai Park right in the middle of the city. Many people and even the locals are not aware of this garden which is an old prison. This stunning park grows all kinds of stunning colorful winter plants.
Tulip Bloom in Annual Cool Weather
Chiang Rai is famous for cool weather with the perfect climate for the pride of the Netherlands to bloom. The elevated terrain mountains are surrounded by hills, valleys, serene rivers, lakes, and green fields.
Chiang Rai city offers little diversity when it comes to nightlife. Without night entertainment and shopping malls, the charms of Chiang Rai lie in her floral festivals.
Smaller and quieter, the floral festival on the 4.5 acre grounds a large variety of flowers. I saw petunias, lilies and the ageratum known as Blue Hawaii. It is the tulips that steal the show. These blooms are colorful and showy in a riot color. Orange, yellow, pink, red and magenta. This tulip farm is a heady sight to behold.

The annual cool temperatures in Chiang Rai are the best time to visit Thailand.
The tulips are generally red, yellow or white but the other hues are equally attractive.
The tulips are attractive, usually brightly colored, large and showy.
Take a little time to rest after meandering through the long trail.

Tulips and Flower Bulbs Adorn the Old Buildings
The old prison building is refurbished and open-sided pavilions is built around the park. The eyes literally feast on the colorful display. Rows upon rows of tulips grown from bulbs, sweetly scenting the air.
The flower has a variety of shapes in most colors. The pure blue varieties are not found here. Take a little time to rest after meandering through the long trail. There are beautiful old buildings inside the compound.
There is an exhibition of 30 hill tribes in Northern Thailand costumes shown at the prison building.
