The Doi Tung royal villa, former residence of the Late Princess mother (mother of the present king) Somdej Phra Srinagarindra is also located high up on the hill.
Thanks to Princess mother's interest and encouragement the hills were reforested. She was also instrumental in fighting against the opium trade, as a result the local hill tribes stopped growing poppies and began to grow other crops.
The royal Villa was originally built as a summer residence for the Late Princess Mother and now houses a museum and displaying her work to improve the life quality of local tribal peopleThe Mae Fah Luang Gardens are a botanical park located on the slopes below the royal villa. Flowers and plants grow among rock formations.
Doi Tung is the best place for visiting in winter...There is a Thai style house of our king's mother.
We can learn everythings from this place...there are many kind of flowers...it's colorful and beautiful.
This place it's not luxurious...it is a simple place.
I went there when I was young....
I learn that living is not necessary to have an expensive thing
or some perfect meals.
My life should be with nature...not too much
Sufficient...is the best way
Our king will alway tell us
"...
