Flower Presentation

Chiangmai’s annual flower carnival is a popular attraction and festival of the town. The season during early February is a perfect time for the celebration to occur because the climate during this time allows not only tropical flowers in Thailand such a Blossoms, Orchids and Dragon plants but also Roses and other european flowers to bloom. The city is decorated with vibrant colors ranging from blues to oranges, pinks to greens. The town has a strong floral smell that remains in the streets for many days after the festival concludes. Beds of flowers cover any free space in the town forming a bright, energizing feel.  On the 7^th, floral floats get paraded down the town street. There are many types of competitions during these festivals such as the beauty contest, floral design competition, a cultural dancing shows. There are many other flowers that grow wild in the Chiangmai countryside these are very unique flowers and each year get presented to the audience and tourists. The Chrysanthemum is one, others like the Indian Shoot and Weeping Lantana are also very specific to this part of the country. This is a very good time to visit Chiangmai for flower lovers and for other tourists.
