From this moment forward, you’re about to experience a day filled with panoramic tea fields, fascinating history, royal heritage, and flavorful mountain-brewed coffee.
10:00 AM – Discover 101 Tea Plantation
Our first stop takes us to the peaceful 101 Tea Plantation, a must-visit destination for tea enthusiasts and nature lovers.
The plantation offers not only stunning hillside views but also insightful information about the tea-making process.
Additionally, you’ll have the chance to join free tasting sessions, sample locally grown teas, and capture picturesque landscapes with your camera.
Whether you enjoy tea or just love fresh mountain air, this is the perfect introduction to northern Thailand’s agricultural charm.
11:00 AM – Explore the Heritage of Doi Mae Salong
Next, we continue our journey through the highlands to Doi Mae Salong, a unique village in Chiang Rai known for its Chinese-Yunnanese roots and diverse hill tribe culture.
After World War II, Chinese soldiers fleeing conflict found refuge in this mountainous region, eventually establishing a peaceful community.
As a result, Doi Mae Salong blends Chinese heritage, tea farming, and tribal traditions, offering visitors a rich and meaningful cultural experience.
12:00 PM – Lunch Break with a View
After a morning of exploration, it’s time to relax and enjoy a delicious Thai lunch. You’ll dine at a scenic local restaurant, surrounded by fresh mountain air and views that make the food taste even better.
13:00 PM – Visit the Royal Villa at Doi Tung
Following lunch, we head to the elegant Doi Tung Royal Villa, once the residence of Princess Srinagarindra, the beloved mother of King Bhumibol. This beautiful wooden palace reflects Lanna and Swiss architectural styles and sits within the larger Doi Tung Development Project.
Moreover, the area around the villa includes beautifully landscaped gardens and showcases the late Princess’s humanitarian efforts in uplifting the hill tribes.
15:00 PM – Reach the Border at Doi Chang Moob
Then, we travel further north to Doi Chang Moob, the northernmost Thai border point adjacent to Myanmar.
Here, visitors can walk right alongside the border fence—just a step away from another country.
Truly, it’s a fascinating geographical stop, perfect for those who love off-the-beaten-path destinations and unique photo opportunities.
16:00 PM – Coffee & Scenery at Phahee Coffee Village
In the late afternoon, we head to one of Chiang Rai’s hidden treasures: Phahee Coffee Village.
Tucked away in the Mae Sai district, this village offers sweeping views of forested mountains, crisp weather, and some of the region’s finest Arabica coffee. Originally an opium-growing area, Phahee has reinvented itself as a sustainable coffee community.
Here, you can sip freshly brewed coffee, taste local treats, and stroll along nature trails.
Undoubtedly, it’s a peaceful and inspiring place to reflect on the region’s transformation and enjoy the last stop of your journey.
17:00 PM – Return to Chiang Rai Town & End of Tour
Finally, your Chiang Rai One Day Tour concludes with a scenic drive back to town around 5:00 PM.
