tangerine and tea plantations, a campsite, and a viewpoint, Doi Kat
Phi. During the cool season, a sea of mist can be seen in all
directions, and the entrance will be spotted with cherry blossoms in
pinkish-white and flowers and fruits of peach trees. The surrounding
view features beautifully overlapping mountain ranges and can be
seen as far as Mong Yawng, a city in Myanmar. From the viewpoint,
travel further for 2 km and see the Doi Chang Buddhist Park where
pristine forest has been maintained, with a large lake in the centre
surrounded by trees of different sizes, and the Buddhist Ground
where there are many Buddha images in various postures for the
people to pay homage. Next is a Holy Well being always filled with
clear, clean, and cool water. To get there: Use the same route to Doi
Wawi, Highway 118, past Mae Suai, Ban Tin Doi, Mae Suai Dam, Ban
Thung Phrao, Ban Huai Khrai, to Doi Chang. From Doi Wawi, drive
