My First experience to a Flower Festival of 1M Flowers

“Anyone who doesn’t love flowers can harm people.” This was something I heard and believed in since childhood. Childhood beliefs tend to stick with us forever, and for me, it fostered a deep love and appreciation for flowers—in every place, time, and situation.

When I first learned about the Flower Festival in Bangkok, I immediately decided to visit. When I searched for the location on the map, I realized it was already on my wish list—what a happy coincidence!

After completing my final semester submissions, I made plans to visit the park. Coincidentally, the day we chose to go was the last day of the festival. “Last day” meant that the park would be closed afterward. I’m not sure why they close it, but I assume it’s to nurture and maintain the plants. The park had even been closed before the festival for the same reason.

The park is quite far from where we live, so we planned our visit carefully to make the most of it. We also wanted to enjoy the fireworks scheduled for that night. We set off around 11 a.m. and reached the area by 12:30 p.m. After having lunch at a roadside café, we took the free shuttle bus to the park.

The entry ticket was nearly free, costing just 20 baht per person. Without hesitation, we entered the park.

Before visiting, I had seen many photos of this park. So, consciously or unconsciously, I found myself searching for the spots filled with vibrant flowers. Not far from the entrance, we came across a massive waterbody with a striking monumental building—likely dedicated to the royal family—standing proudly by its side.

The whole atmosphere was festive and things were happening everywhere. We went further to explore more. People were taking photos infront of the little flower booths.

And further ahead, obviously there are food stalls, well planned, well decorated with different foods and cloths and stuffs.

The park was so peaceful that I felt like I could stay there all day for no particular reason. A lake ran through the park, crisscrossed by small bridges, adding to its charm. While exploring, I came across another section filled with stalls—this time selling plants. There were hundreds, maybe thousands, of plants on display. Whatever you could think of, it was already there. The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers and fruits, creating a delightful sensory experience. Many people were buying plants, and I couldn’t resist getting a small one for myself too.

We spent hours wandering through the entire park, soaking in its beauty.

She loves sunflowers, and to our delight, we stumbled upon a garden full of them. Naturally, I had to spend quite a bit of time there, capturing her photos as she posed among the sunflowers from every possible angle.

We came across the main waterbody near the entrance and book our spacce for the fire works cause we know we cant manage any space to sit there afterwards.

So we the tentative time for fireworks was 7pm but it was already 7.20 and nothing was there. She kind already got irritated and annoyed by the mosquitoes.

This structure looks so amazing at night, isn't it ?

All of a sudden we surprised buy a noise, like a huge noise.

And it started. Its more amazing than the “Loy krathong” fire works we observed (Loy Krathong Blog).

Photos can’t give the right feelings that we had enjoyed that moment.


NB. Sorry I couldn’t take much photos of the place rather she capture videos. So I had to take SS for this post. Pardon me for the LQ photos 🙏🏼
