KRISDADOI CHIANGMAI BOTANICAL GARDENS AND FLOWER PARK
Developed on 30 acres of land ideally situated at an elevation of 700 metres above sea-level, the resort’s legendary botanical gardens and flower park are planted with a variety of cold climate and sub- tropical flowering and decorative plants. A waterfall cascades down a rugged cliff-face into a stream, a tributary of the Ta Chang River, that flows unhurriedly through the landscaped gardens of the resort. A row of natural fountains adjacent to the stream adds to the enchanting scenery. |

DOI SUTHEP-PUI NATIONAL PARK
The forested highlands of Doi Suthep-Pui were declared a national park in 1981 and became Thailand’s 24th national park. The national park is part of the Thanon Thongchai Mountain Range and is characterised by steep cliffs, highland evergreen and pine forest, waterfalls, rivers and streams. Doi Pui, the highest peak in the mountain range, rises to 1,685 metres above sea-level. The area is a natural watershed and the source of many of the key rivers and streams such as the Mae Rim, Mae Ram and Mae Sa rivers, that flow east of the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park into the famous Ping River that flows through the heart of Chiang Mai.
A rich natural habitat, 17% of the total flora in Thailand or over 2,000 species representing 193 families, including rare plants, are found in the national park. |

BAN TAWAI WOOD-CARVING VILLAGE
At Ban Tawai, Hangdong, Chiang Mai
Ban Tawai in Chiang Mai is famous for its exquisite wood-carving featuring a diversity of exotic indigenous styles such as Lanna, Burmese, Chiang Saen, Chinese and Tibetan. Traditional folk skills and expertise in the ancient art of wood-carving have been passed down through the generations and Ban Tawai has established in name for itself.
The growing demand for traditional wood-carving as decorative items has contributed to the revival and preservation of folk art and culture and encouraged the community to preserve the artistic value of its village crafts. The quality of its crafts is recognised internationally and its cottage industry is a major tourist attraction generating sustainable income for the community. |
