For all those wondering about our last post, thought I would give you a Christmas present from Thailand and give the answer. Right now in Chiang Mai, there is a special flower
garden commemorating the 60th anniversary of Thailand's king's reign. During the king's reign, he has been very interested in agriculture and I guess that is why they have made this special garden. The outside perimeter of the garden is about 8 kilometers, so it is a huge garden. Countries from all over the world, not Canada or the US, have sent flowers from their country. People from all over Thailand are flocking to Chiang Mai to see the flowers, especially the tulips. Thai people have never seen tulips before because they can't grow here because it is too hot. The first batch of tulips lasted a little over a week. Holland then sent another batch for the king's birthday and they have lasted a little longer because of the cooler weather. That's when we went to the garden. To me it is hard to believe people want to see tulips so bad since I have seen tulips my whole life. I guess Thai people think the same thing about foreigners who write blogs about frogs in the house!!
