The Bua Tong Wild Mexican Sunflowers Festival starts on 11th November 2007 on the hillsides of Khun Yuam and Mae Sariang about 100 kilometres south of Mae Hong Son. The hillsides are covered in these bright yellow wild Mexican Sunflowers for a month from mid November.

Mae Hong Son is a truly delightful place & well worth a visit for a week during your stay in Thailand. Mrs Atchara Sitthikarn owns VR Travel and she has an excellent website with lots of information about Mae Hong Son and her staff will make you most welcome:

I lived in Mae Hong Son for 4 years from 2001 and I enjoy visiting as often as possible. My friends Pranee & Niti Siriwat who own Rose Garden Tours in the centre of town next to the 7 Eleven have an excellent tour company with English & French speaking tour guides:
