Every first weekend in February, the Flower Festival is on in Chiang Mai. This is our third festival parade and it was just as colorful as we remembered from previous parades.
We can hardly imagine the number of flowers that are used in constructing floats like these–and there were many more!
This photo shows how closely the flowers are placed to make an image when constructing a float.
It isn’t a parade without marching bands! This one had a clever pirate theme!
There are also people representing various cultural groups dressed in traditional costumes.
So many attractive people dressed beautifully –many adorned with flowers. It’s a colorful spectacle!
