Doi Ang Khang

Doi Ang Khang

With an average elevation of 1,400 meters Doi Ang Khang is idea for cold temperate weather plants such as tea and coffee and flowers and fruits of all kinds. Plums, apples, grapes and peaches thrive in the area, all grown and produced by the Ang Khang Royal Agricultural Station. Along with these delicious fruits the Royal Agricultural Station also grows Oolong High Mountain tea. Both Oolong 12 and Oolong 17 varieties are grown to a world class standard. Involving the local hill tribe (mainly Akha) populations in the area to work in the plantations the aim is to bring sustainable livelihoods to the peoples of the mountain and boarder areas of Doi Ang Khang.

Among the sights worth seeing at Doi Ang Khang Royal Agricultural Station include the Bonsai Gardens, Kui Lom view point or a trip to the boarder point with Myanmar (Burma) at Mu Ban No Lae for a photo or two! The peoples of No Lae speak a different dialect of their own and migrated from Myanmar (Burma) around 15 years ago to the village. Many of the people in the area work in either the tea plantations or local fruit and flower plantations supported by the Royal Agricultural Station or private stakeholders. There is also the Mu Ban Luang which was settled by Yunnan Chinese who migrated here during WWII.
