Soak in the beauty of nature at colourful Thung Salaeng Luang National Park

Phitsanulok’s Thung Salaeng Luang National Park announced on Thursday that it has reopened, with an eight-kilometre iconic trail being improved so tourists can immerse themselves in nature and head up Thung Non Son for an even better treat – enjoying the beautiful floral scenery.

Thung Non Son is a lush 10-square-kilometre flower field with savannah grassland features plumb in the midst of more than 50 kinds of strange, rare herbaceous plants that pop up only during October to December.

What’s more, visitors can camp in tents up on Thung Non Son and wake up to a beautiful morning bathed in sun rays and sometimes fog among the colourful flower field.

The president added that the highlight he would not want visitors to miss is Luang Phitsamon, or verdant jewel orchids (zeuxine), which are now blooming with dazzling yellow petals in Thung Non Son’s stone field this season.
