Inthanon Royal Project Research Station (25 October, 2006)


Inthanon Royal Project Research Station (GPS: 18.54322, 98.51831; สถานีวิจัยโครงการหลวงดอยอินทนนท์ ) is an initiative by King Bhumibol to improve the living standards of hill tribes. It occupies 600 rai (243 acres) in the Hmong village of Khun Klang. It was established in 1979 as part of His Majesty's Royal Project Foundation. The research station carries out work on developing marketable crops, ranging from fruit trees to flowering plants, to help the surrounding hill tribe villages, composed chiefly of Hmong and Karen tribes.

There are many greenhouses where flowering plants such as lilies, roses, rhododendrons and many others are grown. There are also greenhouses for ferns and cacti.

From the Research Station, you can see a big waterfall. Unfortunately I cannot remember which is the name of that waterfall - if you do know, please write to let me know what's the name of the waterfall which you can see from the Inthanon Royal Proejct Research Station, so that I can update it on this page.

Getting there

The Research Station is located 90 kilometers from Chiang Mai. It is probably more worthwhile to visit it as part of a trip to Doi Inthanon, which can be arranged by a tour agency in Chiang Mai.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
