Another example of God's incredible creavity found in Thailand are orchids. They are found in abundance around the country in a variety of types and colors, and many cities, including Chiang Mai, have orchid farms that you can visit. This shot was taken at a combo orchid and butterfly farm, though the butterflies were few & far between. Plenty of gorgeous orchids to enjoy, however.
Ready for some orchid triva? There are 25,000+ types, making it the most common type of plant in the world. Though many are edible and used for cooking in some cultures (e.g. Hawaii), vanilla is the only edible fruit of the orchid family. Hey, you learn something new everyday!
