The village is located to the east of Doi Pui and is approximately 1,350 metres (4,430 ft) above sea level.

Several rocky unpaved roads and trails also connect the village from Huai Teung Thao (ห้วยตึงเฒ่า) reservoir to the northwest.

There are also trails leading up to the village from Navamin Reservoir (อ่างเก็บน้ำนวมินทร์, also known as Mae Jok Luang Reservoir อ่างเก็บน้ำแม่จอกหลวง; located behind the 700th Anniversary Stadium) and Nong Ho Buddha Dharma Center (วัดป่าพุทธธรรมาราม; located just west of the Chiang Mai International Exhibition and Convention Centre).

The village is located within Doi Suthep–Pui National Park and is frequently visited by both domestic and international tourists.

It is particularly known for the groves of Prunus cerasoides (wild Himalayan cherry) trees planted at the Khun Chang Kian Highland Agricultural Research and Training Station of Chiang Mai University, which attract numerous visitors as they come into bloom each January.
