The Chiang Mai Flower Festival kicked off at the city’s Suan Buak Had park yesterday. Mayor Tassanai Buranupakorn officially opened the festival which he hopes will bring much-needed tourists to the city.

Tassanai said Suan Buak Had was Chiang Mai’s first public park and has always been the location of the annual Flower Festival, now in its 44th year. This year, he says, the private and public sectors have really come together to create a beautiful experience which many locals and tourists will, he hopes, want to explore, adding “There are many great photo ops!”
