Manee Sorn Sunflower Field, Khao Yai – Gorgeous Sunflowers, Lush Green Fields, And Beautiful Scenery

During our holiday in Khao Yai, my family and I visited the beautiful Manee Sorn Sunflower Field. It was a really fun experience and this is my full review of the attraction.

Manee Sorn Sunflower Field

Manee Sorn Sunflower Field is a large sunflower plantation in Khao Yai, Thailand. It is a popular tourist attraction and is also known as “Rai Manee Sorn”. There is an entrance fee of THB60 per visitor.

Gorgeous Sunflowers

As our Klook chartered van approached the sunflower field, I didn’t see any sunflowers and thought that they were not in bloom yet.

However, as we got closer, I saw large beautiful fields that were covered with bright yellow sunflowers.

After buying the tickets, we entered the gorgeous fields for a closer look.

Can you spot the bee?

I was literally surrounded by sunflower stalks that came up to my chest level!

The surrounding scenery was beautiful too. The sunflowers were surrounded by sprawling green fields and lush palm trees against a backdrop of mountains in the distance.

We visited at around 4pm, which was a good time because there were still plenty of sunlight but it was not too hot.

I even flew my drone to capture some aerial shots. Unfortunately, it blew up a mini cloud of dust when landing and I got plenty of annoyed looks from the surrounding tourists.

Sunflower Field Market

There was a small market with several vendors selling sunflower seeds, snacks, drinks etc. However I didn’t spend any time here because we were rushing off to Bangkok.

Annual Sunflower Festival

There is an annual sunflower festival held every December at Manee Sorn Sunflower Field. Visitors will get to enjoy various fun activities like sunflower competitions, beauty pageants, and local produce shopping. I’m not sure about the exact date of the festival, but if you are booking through Klook you can check with the driver over email.

When Is The Best Time To Visit?

The sunflower season in Khao Yai starts in early November and ends in late January. I visited at the start of December and several large fields were covered with sunflowers. However, there were also many barren fields. My guess is that the sunflowers will be in full bloom during late December or early January.

Conclusion

I enjoyed visiting Manee Sorn Sunflower Field very much! The sunflower fields were gorgeous and it was my first time seeing something like this.

However, don’t expect to spend too much time here because there isn’t much to do other than taking plenty of Instagram-worthy pictures. I only spent around 30 minutes here, and that included the time for flying my drone.

I’ve read on other blogs that there is supposed to be a mini farm here with baby chicks, piglets, and ponies. However, I did not see it during my visit.
