Mae
Faluang Arboretum
The
Mae Faluang Arboretum is located on Mount Chang Moob, the
tallest mountain within the Doi Tung Development Project area.
The Arboretum was developed by the late Queen Mother, who
transformed this once dry and barren region into a beautiful,
thickly forested garden area. The Arboretum's gardens cover
a total area of 250 Rai and contain several scenic viewpoints.
Mae
Faluang also contains many elaborate and native species of
flora and forested plants, especially rare ones gathered from
many sources from within Thailand. The Arboretum offers a
hiking trail along the hillside where visitors can witness
the beauty of the floral gardens. There is an especially great
viewpoint at the top of the mountain with panoramic views
stretching as far as the borders of Burma and Laos.
There
is a pretty brook called 'Phra Ratchaharuthai Somdet Ya Brook'
set among shady trees. The Arboretum is open daily from 6
am to 6 pm with an entrance fee of 50 baht.
