The drive up is beautiful, the climate is ten degrees cooler, and the royal project gardens are genuinely well kept. The village itself is touristy — go for the views and the coffee.
How to visit it well
- Combine with Doi Suthep in one morning.
- Buy coffee from the royal project shop, not the souvenir stalls.
- Bring a light jacket in December and January.
