Spider flowers in Chiang Mai
As Thailand is moving towards winter, the spider flowers (Cleome) plantation at Royal Agricultural Station Doi Ang Khang in Chiang Mai is in full bloom once again, adding a vivid shade of purple-pink to its lush surroundings.
The best part is that anyone can visit this beautiful plantation free of charge because it belongs to Thailand’s Royal Project to promote tourism and provide jobs for locals.

Doi Ang Khang, or Ang Khang hill, is where one of the Royal Agricultural Stations is located. The station is a part of the royal foundation founded by King Rama IX to plant fruits, vegetables, and flowers to provide jobs for underprivileged folks from the hill tribes.
Only in winter
