Doi Tung Royal Villa and Mae Fah Luang Garden.
The Doi Tung Royal Villa, once the residence of the Princess Mother (Somdet Ya), stands as a beautiful testament to the royal family’s commitment to uplifting the communities of Northern Thailand. Built at the height of 1,000 meters above sea level, the villa offers both cultural significance and breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
The villa’s architecture is a unique fusion of Swiss chalet style and Lanna (Northern Thai) design, reflecting the Princess Mother’s love for simplicity and functionality. Inside, visitors can explore the royal chambers and exhibit rooms, which display photographs and memorabilia documenting the Princess Mother’s life and her dedication to the Doi Tung development projects.
The villa overlooks the Mae Fah Luang Garden, a sprawling flower garden carefully designed to bloom throughout the year. This botanical masterpiece covers several hectares and is filled with a stunning variety of seasonal flowers, ornamental plants, and sculptures. The colorful displays contrast beautifully with the lush green hills surrounding the garden, making it a perfect place for leisurely walks along the peaceful paths.
The garden also features a collection of artistic sculptures that reflect the local culture and the vision of sustainability promoted by the Doi Tung Foundation. Fountains, ponds, and shaded seating areas add to the serene ambiance, making it a popular destination for visitors seeking a rejuvenating experience amid nature.
A visit to the Doi Tung Royal Villa and Mae Fah Luang Garden offers not only a visual feast of vibrant flora but also a deeper understanding of the Princess Mother’s legacy and her efforts to transform the region into a center of environmental conservation and community development.

Doi Chang Moob: A Hidden Gem of Doi Tung.
Doi Chang Moob is a scenic viewpoint and serene nature park nestled within the Doi Tung mountain range. This lesser-known attraction offers a blend of nature, panoramic views, and tranquil surroundings, making it a perfect stop for those seeking peace and scenic beauty. Situated near the Thai-Myanmar border, it provides visitors with expansive vistas of both countries' landscapes.
The viewpoint offers breathtaking views of mist-covered mountains, rolling hills, and lush forests. During the cooler months, the area is often shrouded in morning mist, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. It is an ideal spot for sunrise viewing, where the first light gently illuminates the landscape.
The area also features a botanic garden, with a variety of native and exotic flowers blooming seasonally, adding vibrant colors to the green surroundings. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks along the garden paths, immersing themselves in the peaceful environment.
There are walking trails along the hillside that allow exploration of the park’s flora and fauna. One of the trails leads to the Thai-Myanmar border, offering a unique glimpse into the geography and connection between the two nations.
The park has rest areas where visitors can enjoy picnics or simply relax amidst nature, taking in the fresh mountain air. Doi Chang Moob is often included as part of a tour to Wat Phra That Doi Tung and the Doi Tung Royal Villa, making it a well-rounded day in the mountains of Northern Thailand.
