Address - Ban Mong Khun Chang Khian, a small and lovely village located on Doi Suthep Road Atmosphere/Location - This is an enviable village. The weather is cool all year round and the life is simple. We really like this place. Stop by for a cup of tea at a warm cafe, which is stevia tea. It goes well with the cool weather. I want everyone to experience this kind of atmosphere. Highlights - The cherry blossom trees were not blooming much when we went, but they were already very beautiful. This year, they bloomed a little late. There is no entrance fee here. P.S. I really like the baked sweet potatoes here, they are very sweet. The sai ua is delicious and not expensive at all.

It is well known for its pink flower in the northern region, called Dok Phaya Suea Krong, which blooms in early New Year for only a few weeks. In Chiang Mai, there are many places, and in the village of Doi Khun Chang Khian, it is in full bloom. Every angle is a beautiful photo spot. On the mountain, there are things that the villagers have brought to sell, which are products from the mountain farms. We want everyone to come because it is really beautiful. #recommendChiangMai #visitChiangMai

It is undeniable that Ban Mong Khun Chang Khian is another place that is very beautiful and charming. From December to January, this place will be in full bloom with the Himalayan cherry blossoms, making this place often a place where many tourists come to see its beauty. Bomiko is one of them. I went there before electricity arrived, the road was an encroached road. Now it is a concrete road with electricity. No matter how much it has changed, this place still has its charm and the way of life of the people here is still the same. #Himalayan cherry blossoms #Winter mountain travel #Flower field travel

Entering 2565 after we have been dealing with the Covid situation for 2 years, there are still good things to warm our hearts. Of course, this year, the Himalayan cherry blossoms in each place are blooming at the same time. To put it simply, it is the most beautiful in 5 years. Today, Bomiko will take you to see the beauty of the Himalayan cherry blossoms at Khun Chang Khian. The advantage of this place is that it is easy to travel to, not far from Chiang Mai city, and it is also close to Doi Suthep. You can come overnight or return. You can drive yourself or ride a motorcycle. You can rent a red car, whichever is more convenient. But if you drive yourself, be careful because the road is quite narrow. #Himalayan cherry blossoms #Flower field tour #Traveling in Thailand is like going abroad

Khun Chang Khian or Khun Chang Khian Highland Agricultural Research and Training Center is located in Mueang District, Chiang Mai Province, on the same route as Phra That Doi Suthep, Phuping Palace, and the Hmong Village of Doi Pui. Every winter in January, the cherry blossoms bloom, showing off their beauty all over the Khun Chang Khian Highland Agricultural Research and Training Center. Starting from both sides of the road to the research station, before reaching the Khun Chang Khian Highland Agricultural Station, you will see a curve in the road with cherry blossoms, another highlight. #WinterMountainTravel

Bomiko will take friends to tour the Hmong village of Khun Chang Khian. This village is another place that Bomiko often visits. The reason is because I have a friend who studies with me who is Hmong. During the winter, my friend invites me to visit, so Bomiko can see the way of life and living of the people here. I went to places that many people have never been to because most of the time, only the villagers can go. It was really eye-opening. The Hmong village of Khun Chang Khian is not far from the Khun Chang Khian Highland Agricultural Research and Training Center. You can walk from the village, about 1-2 kilometers. Inside the village, there are coffee shops, homestays, strawberry farms, and shops selling products from the Hmong people. This is also another place where you can see the Himalayan cherry tree. #Himalayancherryflower #NortheasternTeam #HeartsGoToTheMountains #VisitTheNationalPark

#Rainy season travel, nature near the city 🌳🏔 #Cool weather and fog #Chill cafe on top of Doi Suthep Visit Chiang Mai in the city...but want to go out to see nature but it's far Most people tend to overlook this place, close to the city with cool weather all year round and see fog too, that is Khun Chang Khian on top of Doi Suthep.☁️ A small village hidden on the top of Doi Suthep with a great atmosphere and traditional hill tribe lifestyle. Plus, this place has been developed to welcome tourists, with a coffee shop, a popular hiking trail running spot, Doi Hua Mu, and a tent camping area. On the last holiday, I would like to share the atmosphere of visiting Khun Chang Khian in the rainy season🌧 to see how nice it is to visit. I recommend traveling by motorcycle because it is the most chilling because the road is narrow and easy to cut through, plus you can fully experience the cool weather. We rode a motorcycle up past Wat Phra That Doi Suthep for no more than 1 kilometer, the weather will start to get colder like the winter weather. The first place we will stop is #Khun Chang Khian viewpoint. 🏔You will see the view of the mountain ranges, if you are lucky, you will see the mist floating over the mountain. Later Stop to take pictures along the way. Because the weather is cold, there are pine trees everywhere. It feels like riding a motorcycle abroad. The atmosphere along the way is really beautiful. #Reviewing all the time #Traveling in Chiang Mai #Reviewing Chiang Mai #Khun Chang Khian #Coffee shop in Chiang Mai #Traveling in Thailand like going abroad #Missing nature #Life in a cafe #Secret location #Natural therapy #Cafe review

The atmosphere is great! **You can take pictures from every angle!** A small road with a long slope along with the Himalayan cherry blossoms blooming at the same time, so beautiful that you have to stop the car to take pictures almost every ten meters!

The road is narrow and winding, but if you drive slowly and leisurely, you will get there easily. **Whisper:** - If you come early in the morning, there will be fewer tourists, so you can get beautiful pictures without people blocking your view. - Don't forget to prepare a good jacket. In the morning, the temperature may drop to 10 degrees. - There are some snacks and food for sale in nearby villages (but it is more reassuring to bring your own stuff. #KhunChangKian #ThaiSakura #PhayaSueaKrong #ChiangMaiWinter #ChiangMaiTravel #NatureAttractions #ChiangMaiReview #PinkAllTheMountains #ThailandSakura #ChiangMaiTrip #wintervibes

🌸The only thing that will never be late in this world is the change of seasons, just like the cherry blossoms on this mountain, which arrive as scheduled 🌸 Although the flowering period of cherry blossoms is short, the determination and magnificence when they bloom seem to interpret the artistic conception of "life is as gorgeous as summer flowers, and death is as quiet and beautiful as autumn leaves" with life. 📍Khun Chang Khian 🌸This is the closest cherry blossom viewing spot to the ancient city. It is 31km from Tha Pae Gate, passing through Pala Temple and Doi Suthep Temple. However, due to the rugged and narrow mountain roads, it takes a long time. 🚘You can drive to the cherry blossom viewing area by yourself, but I recommend parking your car at the parking lot of Shuanglong Temple (free) and then taking a taxi to 🔰At the trailhead of Shuanglong Temple, there are many pickup taxis holding signs on both sides of the road to take you to the cherry blossom viewing area, up + down = 400🐷/person. 🚧The road from Shuanglong Temple to the mountain is very narrow and you often have to merge with other cars. Please refer to Figure 18 🌸The cherry blossoms here grow freely, each tree is very tall, and the viewing is quite good. My pictures were taken with my mobile phone and have been beautified. 📷From a photography perspective, mobile phones have great limitations and it is difficult to focus. You need a professional camera to take good pictures ▫️There is a lot of traffic on weekends and traffic jams along the road. It will be a good experience if you go there in the morning on weekdays

No need to travel far, no need to drive up the mountain until you are tired. Just drive up Doi Suthep and you will experience the nature trail at the top of Doi Pui and there is a viewpoint at Doi Hua Mu. Doi Hua Mu is a viewpoint on the nature trail at the top of Doi Pui, which is a nature trail along a cliff with dense pine forests. The path is a concrete and dirt path alternating between concrete and dirt roads. There is also a high point at the top of Doi Pui to conquer, making this route another paradise for trail runners in Chiang Mai because it has the right environment, path, and atmosphere for trail running. In addition, Doi Hua Mu is also a connection point and boundary between Mueang District and Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai Province. You can start your journey from Phra That Doi Suthep, pass Phu Ping Palace, and head to the Doi Pui tent site. From here, there are 2 routes to choose from: the nature trail at the top of Doi Pui and the intersection in front of Khun Chang Khian Village. Both routes are about the same distance. For the nature trail at the top of Doi Pui, there is a landmark as an abandoned fort with a barrier and a sign. Study the map at the sign first. #Get a discount without relying on luck #VisitChiangMai

📍Khun Chang Khian, Chiang Mai Province Khun Chang Khian or the Khun Chang Khian Highland Agricultural Research and Training Center is located in Mueang District, Chiang Mai Province. Every year from January to February, the Himalayan cherry blossoms will bloom along both sides of the road to the research station. Khun Chang Khian is considered the closest place to see Himalayan cherry blossoms in Chiang Mai.

Finally, for anyone who is going to see the beauty, we recommend that you always follow the news to see if the flowers are blooming or have already fallen, so that you don't travel in vain. 😅 #NatureAttractions #KhunChangKianViewpoint #HimalayancherrywinterattractionsatKhunChangKian #ChiangMaiTravel #WhereToGoInChiangMai #chiangmai #himalayancherryviewpoint #himalayancherryflowers

There's something magical about combining a love for coffee with an appreciation for stunning vistas. My latest escapade led me to the haven of View Suai Cafe at Khun Chang Kian. Nestled amidst verdant mountains, this cafe is an absolute delight for those craving a serene escape. The aroma of fresh coffee beans brewing and the panoramic views of the lush hills was an immersive sensory delight. The cool, crisp air added a touch of enchantment as I settled in with a rich, creamy cup of joe. I could truly taste the care put into each brew, reflecting the warmth of Thai hospitality. As the sunlight softly illuminated the surrounding greenery, I found myself surrendering to the tranquil ambiance. The View Suai Cafe is not merely a coffee shop, it's a quaint retreat where one can pause and reconnect with nature. #shopandtrip #myperfectstaycation #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #ViewSuaiCafe #KhunChangKian #CoffeeLovers #MountainCafes #ThaiHospitality #ScenicCoffeeBreaks #ImmersiveExperiences #SereneEscapes #MountainPanoramas #ThaiCoffeeCulture #TravelThailand #LushLandscapes #NatureLovers #ChillScenes #CafeCulture #couplestrip #deliciousfood #CoffeeWithAView #CoffeeAdventures #OffbeatDestinations #QuietRetreats #CoffeeJourneys #BrewedDelights

If you don't drive up yourself, you can take a red car up, but the road is quite narrow. #Missing nature #Chiang Mai The weather is cool and comfortable.

Khun Chang Khian, the full name is Khun Chang Khian Highland Agricultural Research and Training Center, located in Chang Phueak Subdistrict, Mueang District and Mae Ram Subdistrict, Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai Province. The route to Khun Chang Khian from Chiang Mai city is the same way to Phra That Doi Suthep. After going up Doi Suthep, go straight and you will pass Phuping Palace. The road from here will be paved but quite narrow, so drive carefully. After passing Doi Pui Viewpoint, the road from here will be a new road construction area. When I went, it was the rainy season and early winter. The road was quite muddy in some parts. Along the way, when there were oncoming cars or on curves, cars would honk their horns to signal to be careful when cars were passing each other. The road is especially steep and winding as you get closer. After you get close, there will be a sign for Khun Chang Khian Highland Agricultural Research and Training Center on the right. Or go straight and there will be a sign for Ban Khun Chang Khian, turn right and go in. The distance from Phra That Doi Suthep to Ban Khun Chang Khian is approximately 14 kilometers. Highlights of the wild Himalayan cherry blossoms It will be at the Khun Chang Khian Highland Agricultural Research and Training Center, covering the entire area. We can find beautiful angles to take pictures. At some points, there will be staff from the Khun Chang Khian Highland Agricultural Research and Training Center to provide advice and provide various knowledge. The surrounding atmosphere that day was covered in fog, the air was cool and comfortable. You have to wait for the sun to come out to take beautiful pictures. After that, go to Khun Chang Khian Village, there will be houses of the villagers, shops, and coffee shops. There will be wild Himalayan cherry trees scattered throughout the village. I recommend a cafe that has beautiful pictures, a good atmosphere, and delicious coffee: fernpresso @Khun Chang Khian 🌸 Wild Himalayan cherry trees will start blooming in mid-December until late January - early February, depending on the weather. We have to take a chance. 🍃 This time, I had to be the photographer for my sweetheart, so I didn't have any pictures of myself. 😸😸 How to get there - Songthaew to Khun Chang Khian 150.- - Personal motorcycle or rent (recommended for convenience) - Personal car (must be familiar with the route) I highly recommend it, it's really beautiful. No more tiredness #tripmission

Location: 1)Fernpresso @Khun Chang Khian 2)Doi Pui Camping Area Transportation: I booked a Limousine taxi with Shangri-la front desk, 450 babt per hour, minimum 4hrs, can go anyway other than Khun Chang Khian. Can also book a round trip taxi at the cost of 2500 baht, but just to Doi Suthep and Kun Chang Khian. The driver bring us up to Fernpresso @Khun Chang Khian, the village has some sakura trees on the road sides on the way walking towards Fernpresso. The sakura were not many, so the driver make a stop at the Doi Pui Camping Area(we saw the sakura on the way up to Fernpresso). Doi Pui Camping Area had more sakura tree and the view was amazing. Many local residents were camping under the sakura trees. It was a nice trip over all. #chiangmai #khunchangkhiat #chiangmaisakura

The Himalayan cherry blossom is a flower that can be found in the northern part of Thailand, such as Khun Chang Khian, Chiang Mai Province. The Himalayan cherry blossom is popularly called "Thai Sakura" because it looks like the cherry blossom in Japan. Although they are different species, their beauty is second to none. The Himalayan cherry blossom is a very beautiful flower. I recommend that you come and see it. It is really very beautiful. #KhunChangKian #FlowerGarden

Old pictures told again. Prepare the hammer to welcome this winter... It will be so exciting with the pink mountain like this. Before seeing the beauty, my butt and waist hurt. But it's worth it because it's so beautiful. That's how it is... The world often teaches us that... Before life meets beauty, we have to go through every level of hardship. 😅😅 If you're not brave enough, your life is not spicy enough, you can't go up and see it. 5555 P.S. I recommend riding a motorcycle. P.S. Traffic on the mountain is very heavy. If you go on a weekday, it should be okay. P.S. P.S. If you don't have a motorcycle, there is a shuttle service to take you up and see. P.S. P.S. P.S. Don't be careless when driving. The roads are not very good. Hehe Let's go. It's worth it. #PinkTrip ... This year, let's wait and see if it's beautiful. 😊 #KhunChangKian #MissingNature #WaitingForTheDayToDepart #ChiangMaiTrip

Miaozhai cherry blossoms @ Chiang Mai Suthep Mountain Chiang Mai also has a hidden cherry blossoms in the Suthep Hill - Kunchang Sakura Valley, you can drive or rent a double car from the ancient city of Chiang Mai Go. After passing the ancient city through Shuanglong Temple and Puping Palace, turn right. After that, it is the unpaved winding mountain road. It is neither flat nor narrow. Self-driving cars must be careful about the chassis and see the horn mark. To press the horn, remind the opposite car. When approaching Sakura Valley, there is a caf called "Small Cafe", which is as independent as the Arcadia in the cherry blossoms. The ingredients here are all farm organic products, so there is time to stop here and cultivate your body and mind. Only in the Kunchang Sakura Valley, you can see the wonders of Christmas red and cherry trees. The cherry tree age here is not old because of his agricultural mountain, but the shape is beautiful, it is more suitable for concave shape photography. When the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, there are many tourists and the parking lot is full. There is a special person to direct the parking. Even so, no fees are charged. Kun Changyi as a village, actually still a Miao Village! The Miao people live here. There are many children in the village playing and playing among the cherry trees. It is a very good travel experience to sit in the grass with the small Miao people and the little yellow dog in the village.
