Situated in the heart of Chiang Mai, Nong Buak Hat Public Park is a favorite spot for locals and tourists alike. This Chiang Mai garden is designed beautifully and boasts vast stretches of lush lawns, vibrant seasonal flower displays, soothing water features, inviting food stalls, and endless opportunities for a delightful picnic.
Take advantage of the heartwarming sight of the Chinese community engaging in their morning Qigong routine, and as evening approaches, gather around 6 pm to witness groups of Thai men engaging in a spirited game of Takraw.

Royal Park Rajapruek is about 10 kilometers away from the city and is filled with fantastic art and architecture that will keep you fascinated for hours. In 2006, it even hosted the Royal Flora Expo, and has been well-maintained and famous ever since.
