Thung Dok Bua Tong (the Mexican sunflower field) is particularly popular at the end of the year. During this time, this mountainous region turns a brilliant yellow as the Bua Tong flowers reach their full bloom.

In the early winter, the mountains will turn golden by the blooming of the sunflowers. They cover the whole mountain for about 1,000 rai.

Nov - Dec is the most perfect time of visiting here. Best time of taking a picture is 15:00-16:00 hours as the sunlight is not too strong.

Sunflowers are gradually went down when you drive far away. However, you still drive along the hillside and have a good chance of taking a panoramic picture.

I'd recommend you take a night on this hill. Tent accommodation is available at Doi Mae U-kor.

During the season, a lot of tourists mainly come from Bangkok. Tent setting is on the hill top.
Some came with a tour company, so food and accommodation are more convenient.
Toilet is also available but farther down from hill.

You may choose to sleep in a local hut below the hill, near Doi Mae U-kor. Rate should be around 500 Bht/night.
