The Somprasong Chrysanthemum Garden is a prominent agricultural tourism destination and a center for chrysanthemums in Wang Nam Khiao, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. Known as the "Switzerland of the Northeast," it boasts one of the best ozone sources in Thailand. Spanning over 10 rai, the garden has become the heart of the cut chrysanthemum market for farmers in Thai Samakkhi Subdistrict. They gather high-quality produce from various plots for sale, allowing visitors to experience a diverse range of chrysanthemums at their fingertips.

The Somprasong Chrysanthemum Garden is a unique collection of over 40-50 dazzlingly colorful chrysanthemum varieties, which bloom seasonally. The most spectacular blooms are seen during the winter months, from November to January. Species range from pure white, bright yellow, sweet pink, and deep red to purple and orange, each with its own unique meaning and charm. Chrysanthemum cultivation here is not limited to open fields; it is also cultivated in greenhouses to control flower quality. This makes the chrysanthemums from this garden strong, durable, and beautiful, lasting for over a week after cutting.

In addition to the beautiful chrysanthemum fields, which tourists can freely stroll through along the designated walking paths for photography, the garden also serves as a practical learning center for those interested in chrysanthemum cultivation. Visitors can inquire and exchange knowledge with farmers or even request a tour of the nearby farms daily. The garden's front area often features shops selling local products, including cut chrysanthemums for vase arrangements or as souvenirs, seasonal agricultural produce, processed fruits, and even community handicrafts. This activity generates income for local people while also providing visual enjoyment. A visit to this garden is not just about admiring the flowers but also about experiencing the farmers' way of life amidst the pristine nature of Wang Nam Khiao.
