If you want to visit the Red Lotus Lake, there are two things you have to remember.
Bring a camera and sunscreen!
That is not what I meant, Captain! But I guess that means you really have four things to remember. Besides what Captain mentioned, you need to visit between November and February. That's when the flowers bloom. Also, you want to visit early in the morning, or the flowers will start to close as the sun gets brighter.
And if you forget those last two things, you won't need your camera, right, Spike?
Well, you could still take pictures, but they won't be as spectacular. Nong Han, the lake, is about 40 minutes from Udon Thani. It's 8 kilometers long, and 3 kilometers wide.
When you arrive at the lake, you will hire a boat to take you around to where the lotus flowers grow. Only they aren't really lotus flowers.
Despite being called Talay Bua Daeng (Red Lotus Sea), the flowers everyone goes to see are a type of water lily that mimics the lotus flower in shape and size.
You will be driven to different areas where you can see a small island with a Buddha statue, fishing huts, and lots of birds.
And the flowers. It's all about the flowers.
