Explore 2 Enchanting Cherry Blossom Spots in Chiang Mai
Khun Chang Kian
One of the most picturesque cherry blossom spots in Chiang Mai is situated at the Baan Khun Chang Kian Highland Agricultural Research Center, affiliated with Chiang Mai University. Due to its convenient location near Chiang Mai Airport, Khun Chang Kian Highland attracts numerous visitors during the cherry blossom season.
As the cherry blossoms grow naturally here, interspersed in the valleys, many areas are covered in a dreamlike pink, creating a space that is both romantic and somewhat wild.
This area is often bustling and traffic congested on weekends. Hence, it's advisable to visit on weekdays when travel time is more efficient, taking only about 1 hour. If you have extra time and wish to stay overnight, you can book accommodation within the agricultural research area.
Doi Ang Khang
Doi Angkhang is a vast hill with numerous cottages nestled peacefully amidst gentle nature. Located in the northern mountains of Thailand, it's a must-visit destination to admire and capture beautiful pictures with cherry blossoms.
After the implementation of the Royal Agricultural Project of Doi Angkhang by King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the first cherry blossom varieties were planted here. Since then, the Thai people consider Doi Angkhang as a fertile land of cherry blossoms. When the season begins in December, visitors will immerse themselves in the pink hues of cherry blossoms blending with the azure sky.
