Thailand is a country of exceptional natural beauty. Many parts of Thailand boast stunning landscapes, particularly the Chaiyaphum Province in the northeast. It is here that the Dok Krachiao Blooming Festival is observed, an important cultural tradition that celebrates the blossoming of the Siam tulip, an especially beautiful flower that holds great significance to the Thai people. ChildFund has worked in Thailand since 1959, and although many regions are mired in poverty, events like the Dok Krachiao Blooming Festival symbolize the hope and endurance of the human spirit.
