    Gorgeous and serene. Gazebos have great acoustics for guitar practice. Look for a handsome male Kingfisher at the pond before you get to the main entrance, where the line of red trucks begins. He often hangs out on the "No Fishing" sign.

    The Huay Kaew Arboretum is a must-visit if you're in Chiang Mai! This sprawling public park features an impressive collection of tropical and subtropical trees, shrubs, and flowering plants, as well as several cultural and educational attractions. One of the highlights of the park is the pavilion, which provides a perfect spot to relax and chat with friends while taking in the beautiful surroundings. Additionally, there is a cafe located inside the arboretum where you can grab a refreshment or a quick bite to eat. For those who want to get active, the outdoor gym is a great place to work up a sweat while enjoying the fresh air and scenic views. The park also has several picnic areas and playgrounds, making it an ideal destination for families with kids. Overall, the Huay Kaew Arboretum is a fantastic place to spend a few hours in nature. With its diverse plant life, cultural attractions, and recreational facilities, it offers something for everyone. Highly recommended!

    Lush urban forrest, just wish it was larger. Handy information on each tree stating how old and how much CO2 each tree holds. The exhibition centre is lovely, butterflies all over the walls. Best of all it's free!

    Great place for a quiet stroll among tall shady trees. Also good for an exercise-walk, the round loop is used by lots of people working out, with several exercise machines along the way. The trees are labeled with information, and there is a free public restroom. There is also a tea-coffee house, a plant-insect museum, and an orchid house. The slight elevation of the park makes it a little cooler than the rest of town. They have several large mounted photographs of Chiang Mai views that people use as backdrops for portraits.

    Edit: Park is now open as of July 2 but with restrictions. Hours are 8:30am - 4:40 pm, you must sign in and sanitize hands, and wear a mask while in the park...even when running on the trail apparently. ::: Nice fitness park and a great place to escape the noise, traffic, and crowds. Sort of like a peaceful oasis in the midsts of all the craziness of Chiang Mai. Local volunteers keep the place looking fantastic and volunteer artists have added a special touch that make the place unique in a pleasing way. It is indeed an arboretum with a lot of species of trees. Terrific place to exercise or just relax and hang out. However, during the rainy season, the mosquitos are an overwhelming nuisance so be sure you bring repellant from April through October if you don;t want to be eaten alive!

    A nice place to stroll around, have a picnic and relax. For birders, almost guaranteed to hear and see Greater Racket-tailed Drongo. In a quick 30 minute stroll, had 17 species of birds...including Asian Barred Owlet, White-breasted Waterhen and 4 Greater R-T Drongo.

    This place was nice but was in great need of some TLC. It was quite run down, the orchid display was very sad. Maybe because of COVID,or better in the wet season.

    If you are bored of the Old Town rush, this place gives you a nice chance to stroll in the park. It’s right next to the reservoir in the university, go check that too.

  • 5/5 Janet B. 4 years ago on Google
    This is one of my favourite spots in Chiang Mai. Beautiful trees, a botanical exhibit, play areas for kids, informative displays, and many birds. Small, but close enough to return repeatedly for a bit of nature!

  • 5/5 Alison J. 5 years ago on Google
    When in Chiang Mai, we always start our day here! It is so peaceful and well kept, and perfect if you want to walk, jog or do any kind of exercise, as there's plenty of equipment, and lots to keep children entertained. There is plenty of information on its history, and about the many trees and plants growing in the park. The toilets are immaculate, and the staff are very friendly. We have met amazing people who have become good friends! There is a super little coffee shop at the entrance that makes awesome smoothies, and the girls running it are just so lovely! Would definitely recommend a visit here, even if it's just to escape the crowds and the CM heat!
