Thread: Sukhothai unveils marigold field as new tourist attraction

SUKHOTHAI, 8 February 2016 (NNT) – Sukhothai Province is promoting the blooming marigold field in the province as the latest “unseen” tourism attraction, a TAT official says.

Sukhothai Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) Office’s Director Patsarin Sawetrat has revealed that TAT Sukhothai is now inviting tourists to come and enjoy the beauty of blooming marigold in vast fields located in Pak Khwae Subdistrict, Sukhothai Province.

Marigolds are planted in the area as substitute to tobaccos during the dry season starting from November and ending in April, adding the golden-yellow color to the local scenery.

Visitors can observe the livelihood of local farmers harvesting marigold flowers in the morning, while the marigold fields are gaining popularity as a new tourism attraction, from the images shared on the internet by numerous visitors.

Well i'll be sure to mark that one as a must see.

Sure fire winner.

A marigold field.

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden marigolds;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

I wandered alone in Sukhothai.
It's got a big fook off temple and locals that wai.
When all at once i saw a crowd,
A host of golden marigolds.
Beside the hut, beneath the trees,
Locals smile and charge what they please.

I'll be cancelling my island trip asap, fuck the refund

Marigolds have many ancient folk medicine applications.
I'm surprised the government has not made them illegal.

Why the rubber gloves, withnall?...Err, glove...

There's a solution for the oversupply of rubber. Plant fields of Marigold - S, M, L & XL.

Such a nice picture that I've already seen it, why bother to go?

For the temple?...And apparently the rubber glove treatment...
