Doi Angkhang boasts cool weather year-round and stunning, pristine nature, offering a variety of attractions all on one mountain. The must-visit spots on this tour include the Royal Agricultural Station Angkhang, known for its beautiful winter flower gardens featuring species from around the world, and the famous 2000 Tea Plantation. Other highlights include the Khop Dong Viewpoint, the Khop Dong Village, and the Nong Yao Hill Tribe Village. Don’t miss the Sunrise Point overlooking the sea of mist at Doi Khop Dong, as well as Mon Son and the charming Nor Lae Fresh Coffee Shop.
This package has been thoughtfully curated to include every one of these beautiful points. It’s no coincidence—it's a deliberate effort to make this trip exceed the definition of "the best" by including all these exceptional spots, ensuring no beauty is missed.
Wat Ban Den Sali Sri Muang Gan is a temple so incredibly beautiful that it feels almost unreal, as though it belongs to another world. Every detail has been crafted with immense care and precision, as artisans patiently worked piece by piece to create a masterpiece. The result is a temple of unparalleled beauty and uniqueness. It’s no surprise that this temple has become one of the most requested locations for film productions. However, no matter how large or small the project—whether it's a big-budget movie or a personal shoot—every single request has been denied.
This is because the temple was built by the local people of Muang Gan, and its grounds are strictly reserved for religious activities. Filming of any kind, including documentaries, pre-wedding shoots, or any form of entertainment production, is strictly forbidden. Regardless of who is asking or the nature of the project, if it falls outside religious purposes, the answer is always a firm and unwavering "no." This policy preserves the temple’s sanctity and ensures that it remains a place solely for spiritual practice.
