While Japan and Washington, D.C. are famous for cherry blossoms, Thailand offers beautiful alternatives dubbed the 'Sakura of the Tropics.' The peak cherry blossom season in Thailand occurs in January and February. Key viewing locations include Phu Lom Lo in Chiang Mai's Doi Inthanon National Park, known for its picturesque morning mist. The area features not only cherry blossoms but also cold-weather fruit trees and colorful azaleas, making it a vibrant destination even beyond the typical bloom period.
Japan and Washington, D.C. may be top of mind when it comes to cherry blossom season, but plenty of other destinations also spring to life with soft pink petals offering their own take on the annual natural sensation.
According to Gianne Leonne, the senior product director at Away Holidays, the best spot to take in the colors is Phu Lom Lo park in Chiang Mai's Doi Inthanon National Park.
