Well sounds nice ,shame there are very few tourist's to see it.

I have visited the Queen Sirikit Botanical Garden near Mae Rim, and it is beautiful. I am sure this Festival will enhance what is already very scenic. Bear in mind the Garden is not in Chiang Mai itself but out in the countryside. Take route 107 north to Mae Rim and then turn left onto route 1096 and keep on going past all the other attractions (Tiger Kingdom, Snake Farm, Elephant Camp etc.) until you eventually reach the Garden which is clearly sign posted.

Do they also sell plants, seedlings etc. ?

A nice location but sadly way too far for many tourists to venture. Do they have a shuttle bus service by any chance, this makes a huge difference to visitors who would like to visit.

I tried to go today but turned back as the traffic in CM is so bad - took me an hour to drive a distance that normally takes 15 mins. Is it any different from any other day at the gardens? The discription in the article doesn't seem as though it's offering anything new.
