Many tourists visiting Thailand between November and February, will be lucky to time their travels with the blooming of sunflowers. 

If you are looking for a bit of an off the beaten track travel experience, then be sure to visit the sunflower fields in the Loburi province of Thailand. Fields, for as far as the eye can see, are filled with countless amounts of blooming sunflowers, framed by the surrounding limestone hills.  

The main fields can be found just off the highway between Lopburi town and Saraburi, about 10km outside Lopburi. 

Lopburi town is a unique place about 3 hours outside Bangkok. One of its claims to fame is its abundant monkey population, who tend to interfere at time with tourists, particularly in the Old Town. (Keep your personal belongings secured, especially sunglasses!)  Lopburi is a great first stop once venturing outside of Bangkok.  

The sunflowers are in bloom between November and February in Saraburi and Loburi province, Thailand. If you like to sneak off the beaten path, Loburi is a must-see in Thailand.
