Suan Pa Doi Chang

Parking lot for entrance into the beautiful national park. Amazing place to learn about coffee production. Having said that, no need to actually park here, just drive your car further up the mountain - lots of villages and coffee production to explore. Best in the non smoky season (and when it’s not raining). 4WD or SUV recommended.

It's a popular spot for tourists and vendors during the summer and until Songkran. It gets very crowded during Songkran. It's a great place to sit, relax, and enjoy a beer in the shallow water. Just be careful of insects!

1. Cycle to Khun Korn Waterfall, part of Doi Chang Forest Park. The distance is 11 kilometers from the entrance. It's a gentle uphill climb, not too steep. There are villages and restaurants along the way. It's a relaxing and restful ride. 2. Ascend via Huai San Phlapphla. Approximately 12 kilometers. Before ascending, you'll pass a dam. After that, it's a steep climb all the way. For those who enjoy this kind of terrain, it's another fun option. (There are scenic viewpoints to stop and take photos.) Before reaching the pine forest, there's a shop run by the village headman offering free tea. You can also buy food to replenish your energy. 3. Ascend via Mae Suai District. The distance is approximately 24 kilometers. The views are beautiful. The ascent isn't steep, and there are photo opportunities along the way. There's a Doi Chang coffee shop to sample coffee. Visit the High Altitude Agricultural Center; they offer free coffee samples (donations are welcome). It's delicious!
