The royal villa situated on the slopes of the adjacent Pa Kluai Resevoir, was built on the theory that the local hill tribes would be honoured by the royal presence and thereby ceases their opium cultivation.
MAE FA LUANG BOTANICAL GARDEN
Known as " Suan Mae Fa Luang", this beautiful landscaped garden is filled hundreds of different kinds of plants and flowers and was named in honour of the late Princess Mother and the Doi Tung Development Project established by the late Princess Mother in 1987.
