The Bua Thong Festival is 1st November to 13th December, and the festival part is a slight exaggeration… Known in Thailand as Bua Thong, the Mexican sunflowers bloom with a reckless abundance in mid-November each year. The location is a a series of mountain meadows high above the village of Ban Mae U Khor, 30 kmms east of the town of Khun Yuam.
