Description: |
|
Mae Fa Luang district is the only district in Chiang Rai
Province that all of its population is hill tribe people. Due to
its mountainous landscape and cold weather, only a few villagers
live there. In the past, this area was used for growing narcotic
plants and smuggling drugs as it is attached to Myanmar. After
that, the government controlled the use of drugs so several new
occupations were provided to improve the hill tribe people’s
lives. There were a lot of interesting projects and a lot of
spectacular tourist attractions, one of which was Hua Mae Kham
Highland Agricultural Extension Center.
The goal of Hua Mae
Kham Highland Agricultural Extension Center is to help hill
tribe people gain consistent income by dividing the areas in
highland to do Northern plant breeding experiment with
techniques from Taiwan. This project causes a lot of benefits
since it can reduce high-priced import of cold-weather plants
and can pass on knowledge to local farmers both in the area and
in vicinity. The cold weather flowerers that are currently
tested are orchids, gerbera, ochna (mickey mouse plant), calla
lily, common juniper, eucalyptus, carnation, tulip, and azalea,
etc. The visitors are allowed to see how to prune the flowers
and how to pack them for sale. The visitors can ask the staffs
for a walk to see the tea plantation. The most appropriate time
to visit this place is absolutely winter. The visitors can enjoy
the cold weather and variety of plants. If they are tree lovers,
there is a collection of plants for them to choose and purchase.
The center also provide a restaurant with various delicious
dishes, some accommodation (no more than 35 people), and a
campsite.
