The Royal Angkhang
Agricultural Station Project was set up in 1969 under the auspices of His
Majesty King Bhumibol. Primarily a research center, it focuses on
developing a wider variety of marketable produce for the local Hill tribes
which were previously cash-poor and dependant on growing illegal opium as
their major resource of income.
The
organic methods employed by the Project have had great success. Western
berries for example thrive in the cool, mountain climate. As commented by
His Serene Highness, Prince Bhisadej Rajani, "The Royal Angkhang Research
Station is a prime example of man working with nature instead of against
her"
The Angkhang region is a trove of natural
treasures. The invigorating mountain air, the fresh, cool climate, the
breathtaking scenery and the quiet of the countryside all make for a
rejuvenating break from the city. Enjoy trekking, bird-watching,
mountain-biking, mule-riding or the quiet contemplation of Doi Angkhang
Angkhang Nature Resort in Chiang Mai province, northern Thailand is the

mule-riding and bird-watching or if you prefer, simply relax in the
