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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
