Chiang Mai Flower Festival 2017 Panorama
The Chiang Mai Flower Festival takes place every February.
This year many flowers remembered Thailand's beloved and revered King Bhumiphol, who had sadly passed away in the previous October 2016.
Large flower-bedecked floats are created by communities, temples, schools and companies. They are paraded through town and the usual sideshows like beauty pageants are held. The festival is centered around Suan Buak Had Park at the South-Western corner of the moat. There will be many stands selling food and trinkets as well as a traditional children's fun fair inside the park.
