The story

Siam Tulip Festival Chaiyaphum in Thep Sathit

A seasonal wildflower event in Chaiyaphum province built around the pink and white blooms of dok krachiao, or Siam tulip, a ginger-family plant that carpets Pa Hin Ngam and Sai Thong national parks each rainy season. Guided walking routes through the bloom fields run alongside hill treks, a local food and handicraft fair, and evening concerts, typically peaking in July.

Pink Curcuma blossoms carpet the forest floor of Pa Hin Ngam National Park each year, drawing visitors to a wildflower event that Chaiyaphum province markets as the Siam Tulip Festival despite the flower having no botanical relation to true tulips.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The flower at the center of the festival is not a tulip at all but Curcuma alismatifolia, a member of the ginger family that happens to bloom in tulip-like pink and white cups across two distinct national park landscapes

02

The mystery stays covered

Pa Hin Ngam National Park shows only pink blooms scattered across its sandstone terrain, while Sai Thong National Park displays pink and white flowers together over open grassland, giving visitors two contrasting viewing landscapes within the same festival and province
