Colourful footage shows thousands of bright tulips which are drawing crowds in northern Thailand.

Gardeners at the Royal Park in Chiang Mai province have cultivated 7,000 of the flowers - and have now planted another 21,000 following their popularity.

Video from December 24 shows tourists visiting the park to admire the tulips, which only bloom in winter when temperatures are cooler in the Southeast Asia country.

Also including in the display is the lupin flower, which is hard to find in Thailand.
