Strawberry Gardens in Samoeng ‘Taste the most delicious strawberry in Thailand’
They say, foods are usually more delicious in their origins. For an instance, you want to drink a bottle of cow milk. Then you go to a farm where there are cows. And in that farm, there are some booths selling nice fresh cow milk, which has been sent directly right from the breasts of the cows. You buy a bottle of milk. You drink it. You feel the extreme delicious taste of it. There is no wonder why. Because when foods are in their origins, they are still new and fresh. But when they are transported, they are deteriorated, due to transport time and weather.
Especially fruits! Just ask yourself: You want to eat fresh and sweet fruits, or rotten fruits? Absolutely, your answer must be the first choice! Everybody wants fresh and sweet fruits!
Therefore you should give yourself a chance of traveling to somewhere that is a fruit garden, in order to taste fruits directly, right from their trees.
But today, for those who love strawberries, one of the juiciest and sweetest fruits, here is your special instruction. You must visit Samoeng County, Chiang Mai Province, immediately.
Mostly, strawberries may have been grown in countries like Germany, Poland, Egypt, USA, Russia, etc. But why they are able to be in Chiang Mai? Because strawberries require cold weather to grow. Chiang Mai is in northern Thailand and the weather in that direction is cold.
In Samoeng County, there isn’t just only one strawberry garden. In fact, strawberry gardens in the area are countless. That’s why it has been being called ‘The Town of Strawberries’ all along. You can tour them for a whole year. But if you don’t know where they are or what their names are, let’s see the most famous of them.
