A sea of Red Lotuses in Udon Thani
Posted in Sights, thai tips, Gardens
Tags: Lotus flowers, Nong Han Kumphawapi, Talay Bua Daeng, Udon Thani
Who in the vicinity of Udon Thani should definitely check out the Nong Han Kumphawapi Lake in Udon Thani.
The best time to visit the Sea of Red Lotuses “Talay Bua Daeng” is from December to the end of February between 06:00-11:00 am. The flowers open just before sunrise and close before the bright afternoon sun.
From the town of Ban Diem you can take a boat trip on the lake. A large boat (7-10 people) costs around 500 baht for two hours or 300 baht for 1 hour. A smaller boat for the romantics among us costs 150 baht for an hour or 100 baht for half an hour.
The Nong Harn Lake is a shallow (approx. 1 meter) water surface of 1,7 km², surrounded by more than 4 km² of marshland and rice fields. It is an important source of water for the Nam Pao River.
From December to February, the huge freshwater lake takes on a life of its own and is then transformed into a sea of flowers of red water lilies. It is a breathtaking sight and a nice recreational area for the people in the area.
I live here in udon thani and have been to see / cruise a few times it is also very beautiful (more beautiful than the bulbs in the Netherlands)
it is highly recommended, only go in the middle of the week, during the weekend it is so very busy that you no longer see the beauty of the lotus flowers and surroundings, because there are thousands of visitors during the weekend.
is highly recommended for Thai lovers. (the entire Isaan with its mountains, lakes and rice fields
greetings from ben
We went there a week ago, a kind of Keukenhof on the water with only one kind of flower. Well worth it. The stop we made (private tour, 2 people) on what I call Bhudda island for the sake of convenience is also fun to do. A rickety watchtower has been built from which you have a great view of the floral splendor. This is in contrast to the large Bhudda statue, which is placed on a solid concrete platform that is at least as high. NB. Always special observations in Thailand.
We don't live that far away, an hour by car, a friend of ours lives in Kumpawhapi so we come there regularly, there is also a cozy restaurant with a terrace where you have a beautiful view over the lotus lake, the plant blooms during all year round, but be early when the sun is high in the sky the plants close their flowers until the next morning at sunrise, we also live on a lake where lotuses bloom, the young seeds of this plant are edible by the way , and very popular with the Thais.
