Thread: Chaiyaphum - The Siam Tulip Festival

Bugger, went there a couple of years ago with some friends. Yes, nice place with great views (massive drop with no barriers). Huge stones. Took a few photo's whilst i was there so i'll try to pass them on.

I thought this thread needed some pictures of this years festival. Lets start with the flowers -



Fields of wild Siam Tulips. No gardeners here, just nature.

A view west from the lookout at the top of the national park.
There were large Song Taow's (Trucks with seats in the back) which you could buy a return ticket to get you up to the lookout and back down.
It's a fair distance up hill so it was well worth it. On normal days you can just drive your car all the way to the top.




Being a festival you need some shops with the local products. I brought quite a few different types of Issan sausages and some beer to wash it down.
There was plenty of touristy items such as hats, clothes, carvings, honey, fruit wine etc if you are that way inclined.





Here is where the National Park robs the foreigners of their hard earned cash.
A good tip is to keep the entry ticket and go visit another National Park nearby. They often let you use the same ticket.


The National Park is also known for some wierd rock formations

Nice pic's mate, but they wouldn't be robbing me. If they tried to double charge me I would turn on my heels and be gone, on principle.

Nice with pics.
True, not much to do with true Tulips - but nice in their own way
