The Doi Tung Royal Villa and Mae Fah Luang Garden in Chiang Rai are the most visited by tourist from around the world it was home and residence of Her late Royal Highness Princess Srinakarindra, the Princess Mother of Thailand she had it built in Lanna and Swiss architectural styles in 1987. After she had passed away she had it planned to lease out to the Royal Forest Department.

They say that Mae Fah Luang Garden is the most beautiful landscaped garden in Thailand filled with hundreds of different kinds of plants and flowers from all around the world because of it's cooler climates in the mountains and that it is indeed everywhere i looked around me was just breathtaking.

Her late Royal Highness Princess Srinakarindra had the 10 acres of gardens mostly down in temperate Western flowers which gave the opportunity to the Thai people who could not afford to travel overseas to come here to enjoy and admire all of these beautiful Western flowers what a brilliant and beautiful idea.

This magnificent sculpture that stands in the middle of the gardens the Princess Mother named this sculpture "Continuity" to encourage the Thai people that continuity ensures the success of any endeavor.

With the cool climate all year round you not only see all these beautiful colorful gardens with many various types of annual and perennial flowering plants but they also have beautiful rock gardens , water gardens , ornamental garden and palm gardens and there are many wooden benches underneath trees around the gardens if you just want to sit and admire the scenery and maybe have a little picnic.

There is also a beautiful coffee shop called the " Cafe Doi Tung " where you can relax have a coffee or a refreshing ice coffee and enjoy the breathtaking mountains views from an elevation of 1,630 meters above sea level, looking out into the city of Chiang Mai over the mountains.

The ideal way is to spend a few days here there is jungle trekking right from this area and the Doi Tung Tree Top Walk which i heard are rope bridges that take you above areas of the forest where you can overlook fields of coffee trees, dams and distant mountains and there are resorts near by you can book into.

Incredible views in this amazing region Chiang Mai, the mountains are stunning and so many bright and colourful flowers as well.

The statue continuity is quite inspiring, and I really like the old wooden cart filled with flowers.
