This past weekend was the 35th Chiang Mai Flower Festival and Parade. Over 30 floats of wonderful floral sculptures, beauty queens, military personnel, marching bands, costumed performers and dancers paraded through the main streets of Chiang Mai. It was an incredible spectacle and the flowers were divine! Because CM is surrounded by mountains, it produces an ideal climate to grow many of the native flowers.
