Doi Tung

Doi Tung (ดอยตุง) is a mountain in the Thai highlands of Mae Fa Luang District, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand.

While not the highest elevation of the province, the 1,389 m high Doi Tung rises steeply close to the Thailand-Myanmar border.

[1] The population of Doi Tung is about 11,000 people, consisting of various tribes including Akha, Lahu, Tai Lue, and Lawa.

Almost half of Doi Tung's population is in coffee farming, providing a stable source of income for nearly 900 families.

[5] The villa was originally built as a summer residence for the princess mother and now houses a museum displaying her work to improve the life quality of local tribes people.
