Where to Pick Strawberries in Chiang Mai

If you only visit one farm, make it Wongwan. Located in the heart of the "Samoeng Loop" (the strawberry capital of Thailand), this farm is massive and incredibly well-organized. It’s not just a farm; it’s a destination. You can pick your own berries, buy organic products like strawberry wine and jam, or eat at their on-site restaurant which serves a famous Strawberry Som Tum (Papaya Salad). The terraced hillside views are breathtaking.

Located in the trendy Mon Jam area, Plai Fa is arguably the most photogenic farm on this list. The fields are planted on steep slopes that seem to drop right into the clouds. In the morning, you can pick strawberries while surrounded by a sea of mist. They also plant beautiful verbena and cosmos flowers between the strawberry rows, making your photos look like a fairytale. It is very close to the famous Mon Jam viewpoint.

Doi Nok offers a "New Zealand" vibe right here in Thailand. This farm stands out because it combines strawberry picking with a mini-zoo. Kids will love feeding the fluffy sheep that roam the green pastures while parents enjoy the panoramic mountain views. The strawberries here are grown on bamboo raised beds and terraced slopes, making them easy to access. They also have a cafe serving fresh strawberry smoothies.

Nap-Phu-Pha (Rai Nap Phu Pha) is perfect for those who want a "slow life" experience. Surrounded by tall cliffs and mountains, this farm feels secluded and peaceful. It is famous for its ATV rides through the strawberry fields and its camping ground. You can pitch a tent and wake up to pick fresh berries for breakfast. The strawberries here are known for being large and chemical-free.

While primarily a research station, Khun Wang is where the "Royal 80" strawberry breed originated. The strawberries here are grown with expert care and are often cheaper than the private commercial farms. The huge bonus: if you visit in January, the farm is surrounded by the famous "Wild Himalayan Cherry" (Thai Sakura) trees, creating a stunning pink canopy over the red strawberry fields.
