if you're in Chiangmai, go to Bhubing Palace. Extensive beds of fuchsia to be found around the main house.

Thyey can certainly be found up here in the garden centres and some parks, though i haven't seen many in private gardens.  Cool up here in winter in Chiangrai?

Problem is i live in Pattaya, never seen them here, any ideas, hardy fuchias can basically live anywhere, no problem there, semi hardy would thrive out here im sure

I wondered the same thing.

Perhaps the humidity would make them v vulnerable to all sorts of pests and problems?

I don't know - I just wondered.

Many plants need the cooler night temperatures... that's why you'll find them in the higher elevations or areas in the north of Thailand, or even in places like Cameron Highlands  or Sabah which have  higher  elevations / locations in Malaysia....

It's got to drop below 15c at night or there about's ... for many things like fuchsias, geraniums, etc to do well... Sad but true!

Lots of Fuchias on top of Doi Intanon, some rhododendrons too.
