Thung Bua Tong Forest Park, Sunflower forest park in Mae Hong Son, Thailand
The forest park contains extensive fields of Mexican sunflowers that paint the mountain slopes in yellow colors during November and December.
The Mexican sunflowers were introduced to the region in the 1980s as part of a sustainable agricultural program for local hill tribe communities.
The annual sunflower bloom season brings together local residents who organize traditional markets selling northern Thai food and handmade products.
Visitors can reach the park by taking a 2-hour drive from Chiang Mai city, with the main entrance located 20 kilometers from Mae Hong Son town.
The park sits at 1,500 meters elevation, offering views of sunflower fields against mountains while temperatures remain cool throughout the day.
