2006 brought the 60th Anniversary of His Majesty The Kings accession to the throne.
The celebrations were numerous, and in Chiang Mai it was especially marked with the Royal Flora exhibition.
On the outskirts of the city a once barren and desolate area has been transformed into the most stunning of gardens with around 2,500,0000 plants and trees.
Many exhibits demonstrate the many projects supported by HM The King to develop the quality of the Thai peoples lives. These are numerous and cover many aspects of life from fuel to farming. Many countries contributed to the event, building exhibits portraying a typical garden from their homeland.
