In Chiang Rai Province, hills in Wiang Kaen District and the tea plantation zone of Doi Mae Salong are the best locations to see cherry blossoms. Khun Wang, Doi Inthanon and Doi Pui are among the locations in Chiang Mai Province to see this amazing spectacle.
Apart from Doi Mae Salong, most of the cherry blossom spots in the locality are not on public bus routes. Tourists wishing to take in the spectacle are better off booking a travel ticket with 12GO ASIA to a transport interchange like the provincial capitals of Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai.
Once here, it is simply a matter of joining a local guided tour or hiring a taxi for the final leg. The genus of sakura typically found in Northern Thailand is the Wild Himalayan. Sakuras flower earlier in the year in Thailand than they do in Japan and the sight has proved a major draw for Japanese tourists in recent years.
