Sai Yok National Park - Cassia Javanica Blooming Season

Sai Yok National Park


Sai Yok national park sits within Thong Pha Phum and Sai Yok districts of Kanchanaburi province, and is about 98 km from the Kanchanaburi town. On the west it is bordering with Thanin-thar-yi province of southern Myanmar.

It became the national park on 27 October 1980, with a total area of 500 square kilometers. The area is mountainous, mostly limestone mountains which run on north-south axis. King Rama 5 used to visit this place and take a bath in a stream.

In the month of March, you may welcome with a spectacularly blooming Cassia Javanica Flowers. It is just amazing and awesome. From far, it's just like a Cheery Blossom.

Cassia Javanica also being called Apple Blossom and is a genus of Fabaceae in the subfamily Caesalpinioideae. Commonly called cassias, "cassia" is also the English name of Cinnamomum aromaticum in the Lauraceae (from which the spice cassiabark is derived), and some other species of Cinnamomum. In addition, the genus Cassia was for long ill-delimited with regards to the related Cassiinae especially Senna, many species of which were once placed herein. As a rule-of-thumb, Cassia sensu stricto contains the largest Cassiinae, usually mid-sized trees.
