Northern Thailand: Where the wild Himalayan cherry blooms


Take a stroll under the cherry blossom canopies in Thailand.

You don’t have to travel far to experience cherry blossom season. Each year during December to January, the highlands of northern Thailand – where the weather is cold and the region is swept by the chill breeze of winter – transform into a fervent pink forest.

Witness as the wild Himalayan cherry trees dot the city in pink, imbuing a sense of romance befitting the season. Known locally as the “Tiger Queen” or Nang Phaya Sua Kroang, here are the best places to catch the blooming pink petals and other interesting sights for your next Instagram tryst.
