“My wife loved the flowers, so we grew them to see its beauty and take pictures of it,” the mayor said. “We sowed the seeds for these flowers on October 27 this year and they bloomed at the beginning of December. There are three colours: fuchsia pink, light pink and white.”

When the flowers bloomed, the villagers took photos and posted them on social media. The posts were shared widely and drew the attention of people both in Chai Nat and nearby provinces.
“Now, we have to make arrangements for the numerous visitors by providing photography spots, seats and restrooms,” they said. “Also, we have foods, such as noodles and papaya salads for sale at an affordable price, and we allow them to bring their foods, if they want to have a picnic.”
