Chiang Mai Thailand 2025 Guide With The Best Local Advice

Udon Thani’s Red Lotus Sea
2025-01-01 - 2025-02-28 | Udon Thani Province, Udon Thani, Thailand
In Udon Thani’s northeastern province, the “Red Lotus Sea” (Talay Bua Daeng) blooms this season. Millions of pink water lilies cover Nong Han Lake, about 40 kilometers from the city. To witness this spectacle, arrive early in the morning (around 6:00 AM to 11:00 AM) before the sun intensifies and the flowers close.
The Red Lotus Sea (although most of the flowers are more pink or crimson than they are red) is about 45km south east from the Udon Thani ring road, at Lake Nong Han on the banks of Ban Diam, in the Kumphawadpi Reserve. The beauty of the lake is best witnessed in the low season, between November and late February. The Red aquatic flowers begin to bloom in October, following the rainy season, reaching full bloom in December through to late January.

The best time of day to visit is between 6.00am until around 10.00am. If the day is cloudy (as it was when I recently visited), a visit at any time should provide the best display as the blooms remain open when the sun is not bearing down on them.
A boat ride lasts 90-120 minutes and are available all day. Most people like to start the ride from 6-11am because weather is not too hot. In addition to the dark red lotuses, there are birds and other aquatic plants to admire.
Other than the vast numbers of flowers present, the Red Lotus Sea also holds the position of the world’s second strangest lakes by Travel & Leisure. The lake covers a large area, (about 68 square kilometers) being 15km long and 5km at the widest point.

Teachers Day
2025-01-16 | Chiang Mai Thailand, Chiang Mai, Thailand
National Teachers Day (Wan Kru) is a Thai school holiday celebrated on January 16th of every year. Since this day is dedicated to teachers, students show their gratitude and appreciation for teachers.
Thai Teachers Day is not to be confused with Thai Teachers’ Appreciation Day (Wan Wai Kru) which is observed on the second Thursday of June. Thai Teacher’s Day tends to be seen as a more secular, policy-based occasion, whereas Thai Teacher’s Appreciation Day sees more elaborate, cathartic ceremonies.
Teachers’ Day in Thailand
The Secretariat Office of the Teachers’ Council of Thailand first established the holiday in 1957, when it was held at the National Stadium of Thailand. Thai Teacher’s Day is celebrated on January 16th because on this day in 1945, the Teachers Act was published by the Royal Thai Government Gazette. The Ministry of Education had decided to give teachers and students the day off in recognition of teachers’ sacrifice and dedication to the people and nation. According to the Ministry, The purpose of Teacher’s Day is to express gratitude towards teachers and others who contribute to Thai education.
Teachers are often referred to as mae phim khong chart (แม่พิมพ์ของชาติ), literally the “mold” or “role models” of the nation, in a nod to their role in molding young minds.
