Chiang Mai Parks, Gardens and Chiang Mai Arboretums
(Chiang Mai, Thailand, TH)



Chiang Mai is a large and busy city, which makes its many tranquil parks and gardens all the more appealing. Offering a range of recreational activities, seating areas, natural palm trees, native wildlife, winding pathways and usually an array of striking exotic flowers, the main parks in Chiang Mai are especially popular at lunchtime, when many people come here for an impromptu picnic, or simply to purchase refreshments at one of the snack vendors.

Particularly notable is Buak Hat Park, where a mixture of landscaped planting, water features, fountains and bridges make this an attractive setting, while the Queen Sirikit Botanical Gardens contain many striking plant specimens and plenty of seasonal interest.
