19.01.2023 we started early in the morning heading for the magical Red Lotus lake, 45 km south east of Udon Thani, to watch the beautiful red flowers covering the whole lake.The flowers are actually pink tropical water lilies. The flowers are best to watch in the flowering period in January. This is one of the most memorable tours we had on all our 8 weeks in Thailand this year. When you visit, make sure to go early in the morning. From sunrise to noon you can see the water lilies opened up: they open when they see the first morning light and close when the midday heat comes. Early morning is also the best moment to spots birds. There are many birds and fish in and around the lake. Just sit back and relax and enjoy what we saw on this chilly morning at sunrise short after six o`clock.
