Doi Kham

[2] The Doi Kham Royal Project was begun when King Bhumibol Adulyadej visited Chiang Mai during the cool season in 1964.

At the king's command, the royal project was created to provide alternative sources of income for hill tribe villages that formerly relied on opium production and swidden agriculture.

The Royal Project Foundation operates four research stations and thirty-five development centres that work with 295 villages containing 14,109 families.

Doi Kham Royal Project, in Chiang Mai Province, is a wealth of flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables that are produced in order to increase the value of agricultural products and help the farmer gain more income.

[4] The company objective is to support the development of Thai agricultural products and to produce goods which have a high nutritional value with no chemical additives.
