Floral expo in Chiang Mai

By The Nation

An international horticulture expo "Royal Flora Ratchaphruek 2011" will be held from November 9, 2011 to February 15, 2012 in the northern city of Chiang Mai, Agriculture Minister Theera Wongsamut said yesterday.

The expo, to be held at the Royal Agricultural Research Centre in tambon Mae Hia, is expected to have at least 30 countries make gardens and to attract at least two million visitors throughout the 99-day expo period.

Preparations for the event have progressed well, with 11 countries so far accepting Thailand's invitation to join.

Seven new garden spaces, each about 66 by 1,000 square metres, have been added to the research centre. Organisers hope the new plots will be taken by Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Israel and Canada. The expo is to celebrate three auspicious occasions: HM the King's 84th birthday in 2011, HM the Queen's 80th birthday in 2012, and HRH Crown Prince's 60th birthday in 2012, Theera said.
