Royal Flora

Royal Flora is a once-every-five year festival of international gardens held right outside Chiang Mai.  It's the one festival we're actually here for!  And it's all about gardens, which particularly makes Dave very happy.  It came highly recommended to us, as well.

  • People tried to sell you things everywhere, with mega phones.
  • Many of the gardens were more about fake architecture than real gardens.
That said, there were some very spectacular spots:
