The What’s Up Guide to the Best Parks and Gardens in Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai’s climate is tropical and balmy and as such the landscapes around the city are verdant for much of the year. Trees, shrubs and flowers thrive in Chiang Mai’s favourable weather. Gardens, parks and national parks around Chiang Mai are lush and boast collections of flowers which can only be described as amazing.

Most tourists only see the Old City’s Suan Buak Haad Park or the well-manicured gardens at San Kamphaeng Hot Springs. Besides these there a number of other parks and gardens which feature one-of-a-kind attractions and are ideal for a day’s excursion. At parks and gardens in the locality, it is possible to see greenhouses with desert cactuses, interact with deer and peacocks, and bounce around on inflatable amusements in a disused quarry.
