Buak Hat Park

Buak Hat Public Park (Thai: สวน สธารณะ หนอง บวก หาด) is a public park located in the southwest corner of Chiang Mai’s old city.

[2] It is a place for local people and tourists to visit and is a location for many of Chiang Mai’s festivals[citation needed] such as the Flower Festival.

The full name is 'suan satarana nong buak hat' - the first part means 'garden public' and the name: หนอง บวก หาด 'nong buak hat' can translate as 'marsh improved [to] beach' - this was probably a part of the city that collected all the water, so it became a park.

[3] Buak Hat Public Park is at the center of the annual Flower Festival.

There are also displays by landscape specialists, featuring waterfalls, patios and various schemes of garden decoration.
