| Description: | Under the patronage of the late Princess Mother, Princess Srinagarindra, the Mae Fah Luang Foundation was founded to carry out development activities so that the quality of life of Thailand’s ethnic minorities in the Doi Tung area could be raised. During that first visit, the Princess Mother stated that “I will reforest Doi Tung”. 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 Princess Mother and Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana decided to build a home there so that she can devote her time to reforestation and development projects in Doi Tung. | |
| • The Doi Tung 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 people. | ||
| • The Mae Fah Luang Gardens are a botanical park located on the slopes below the royal villa. Flowers and plants grow among rock formations. | ||
| • “Hall of Inspiration” covers the story of the Mahidol family. The new exhibition shows the character, philosophies and working principles of the family, and their diligence to find ways to improve the lives and livelihoods of the Thai people in all corners of the Kingdom through simple but effective works. | ||
