| The Royal Angkhang Agricultural
Station Project was set up in 1969 under the auspices of His Majesty
King Bhumibol. Primarily a research center, it focuses on developing
a wider variety of marketable produce for the local Hill tribes
which were previously cash-poor and dependant on growing illegal
opium as their major resource of income.
The organic methods employed by the
Project have had great success. Western berries for example thrive
in the cool, mountain climate. As commented by His Serene Highness,
Prince Bhisadej Rajani, "The Royal Angkhang Research Station is
a prime example of man working with nature instead of against
her"
  
The Angkhang region is a trove of
natural treasures. The invigorating mountain air, the fresh, cool
climate, the breathtaking scenery and the quiet of the countryside
all make for a rejuvenating break from the city. Enjoy trekking,
bird-watching, mountain-biking, mule-riding or the quiet contemplation
of Doi Angkhang
Angkhang Nature Resort in Chiang Mai province, northern Thailand
is the ideal getaway for nature lovers. Enjoy mountain-biking,
hiking, mule-riding and bird-watching or if you prefer, simply
relax in the Camellia Restaurant and enjoy the view. Managed by
Amari Hotels and Resorts, this comfortable first-class property
nestles close to the Myanmar border and is situated between several
hilltribe groups.
