Thanathon Orchard in Chiang Mai and how to visit it

Description and is it worth a visit

Garden Thanathon Orchard is a fruit farm for growing tangerines and other citrus fruits, as well as bananas on an industrial scale. I.e. it is not just a tourist place where tourists are brought only to show a few trees and sell something, but a real farm where they grow fruits and supply them for sale in large quantities. And with all this, the farm is accessible to tourists.

To be honest, we think that it's not worth going to this farm from Chiang Mai or Chiang Rai on purpose, it's too far away. But if you travel by rented transport along the border route No. 107 from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai or back with stops, then it is quite possible to make one entertaining stop at this place. There are guided tours of the farm by car in the form of a boat between endless rows of citrus trees with a visit to the flower photo zone. Unfortunately, when we visited Thanathon Orchard at the end of 2023, there were no full-fledged excursions, and the car just drove to the photo zone for 40 baht, so we can't tell you anything about the contents of the excursion. But let's say for sure that tangerines and oranges are very tasty and inexpensive here. They can be bought near the parking lot in front of the farm entrance, prices depending on the "caliber" of fruit from 20 baht per kilogram (approximately 0.61 USD).
