Angkhang Nature Resort, Chiangmai hotels Thailand on hotelsthailand.name

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"
