Wild-Sunflower Field at Doi Mae U-Kho

'Bua Thong' Field at Doi Mae U-KhoLocated near the Mae U-Kho Waterfall, the Wild-Sunflower Field (Thung Bua Thong) covers over 1,000 rai of land. This field is by far the most visited place at Doi Mae U-Kho, especially during November and December when wild-sunflowers bloom, blanketing the 'Bua Thong' flowerssurrounding fields for as far as the eye can see.

It is believed that Christian missionaries who entered the area about 70 years ago, were the first to plant these magnificent flowers, as they are actually native to Central and South America, where they are known as the 'Mexican Sunflower'.
