About this event
The 2026 season opening at Doi Mae U Kho is reported for 11 November 2026, with the bloom generally running from November into early December over more than 500 rai of mountainside at about 1,600 metres. The 2026 dates are not yet confirmed by the Khun Yuam local authority, so this record is expected: the window follows the established annual pattern, and the strength and length of the display depend on rainfall and temperature. Entry to the fields is free.
