No "Words" needed, the Sunflowers shinning in Loburi of Central Thailand- is something of a beautiful wonder, the mother nature has offered to us...Yes, this Thai "Winter" season is the time worth visiting these bright, yellow-flower fields!
(Even the Thai "Winter" isn't cold and freezing at ALL! The Bangkok and Central average about 25-26 C degree, and could get to 35 C still at mid-noon!!)
The Sunflower farms grown for seeds and oil, and as the supplies for bouquets in flower shops, stretch for miles along the main road, approximately 10 kilometers from Lopburi, the province known for the famous Monkey Temple, where the Thai tourists feast the monkeys with "Chinese" buffet...as part of Hindu-Buddhism ceremony.
The Sunflower fields are open for the tourists, Thai and foreigner alike at Bt10-20 average for the entrance into the privately own farmlands to take some good photographs.
It is not known to many foreign tourists, as first- it does not generate much money, and secondly- it is even hardly promoted!
In these private farmlands, they sometimes (and often) hold the community markets, where you could purchase Thai fruit wines (produced from grape, mango, pineapple, and other exotic fruits), local handicrafts, and a few things to eat from Thai snacks to a cup of fresh-brewed coffee.
(Hm...imagine having a cup of 'great' coffee, while walking along into the Sunflower fields, and a little sunshine- how "refreshing" that would be!)
With the Hills of Lopburi at these Sunflower fields as the background, IT IS REALLY BREATH TAKING!
Loburi is not very far, from Bangkok and just some 50 km from Saraburi (You have to arrive in Saraburi first before you make it to Lopburi from the Main Asia Road.) Saraburi itself is 89 km from Bangkok.
I will certainly make a re-visit this year...
Oh, since there is no Tourist information booth in these Sunflower fields- I suggest you pre-search the travel information via www.tat.org.th - regarding your trip-planning requirements!
