Kumphawaphi Lotus Festival

Post by parrot » December 19, 2011, 3:43 pm

The Kumphawaphi Lotus Festival runs until 29 February.......you can see some photos of what it might look like at http://udonpao.go.th/show_info_news.php?show_id=178

If you're not up for the drive to Kumphawaphi, you can see a mini-lotus show across from the Maliwan Estates, about 75meters from the ringroad. It's sort of a trashy area, but once you get beyond that and to the lake, it makes for a nice place to take some photos.
Attached are some I took this morning on the way into town.

Worth the trip.
Went this year, simply stunning.
Udon Thani, best seen through your car's rear view mirror.

This link shows a trip to the Nong Han lake with all the flowering Lotus. Also included is a visit to Khumpawaphi with the monkeys. The video starts with jpg pictures following mpeg (video). Sorry for the announcement of the video which is in Danish language. Enjoy and make up your mind if it is worh to take the trip.
Kind regards from

The lake is infested with giant mouse ears, also known as asian green demons......จอกหูหนูยักษ์” ปีศาจสีเขียวเอเลียน

Apparently the weed has infested most all the area reservoirs.......Kumpawaphi officials estimate 2 million tons in the Lotus Flower lake.
