Worth knowing
Red Lotus Sea Out of Bloom
The lotuses on the Red Lotus Sea bloom from about December to mid-February (the first in late November); the rest of the year the lake is green water with little to see from the boats. Ban Chiang, Phu Phrabat and Wat Pa Phu Kon are worth the trip in any month.
