Itinerary
Pick up from your hotel lobby and depart to Doi Mae Salong, stopping on the way at an Akha Hill Tribe Village, known for the women’s elaborate headwear decorated with coins, shells, beads, feathers, and animal motifs.
Continue to Santikhiri Village (Yunnan Chinese Community), home to tea plantations and a cooperative store selling homemade wines, medicinal herbs, and other locally grown products.
Lunch is provided at a local restaurant.
Drive up to Doi Tung, the highest mountain peak on the Thai-Myanmar border at 2,000 meters above sea level, once restored through the Doi Tung Development Project established in 1987 under the initiative of the King’s mother.
Visit Mae Fah Luang Garden, built in 1992 on a 12-rai plot, home to winter flowers and decorative plants that bloom in rotation through the seasons, then continue to the Royal Villa of the late Princess Mother, a striking combination of northern Thai and Swiss chalet architecture. Afterwards, return to your hotel.
