Description: |
|
The Mae Fah Luang Garden is the most beautiful landscaped garden
in Thailand filled with hundreds of different kinds of plants
and flowers. The garden is located in front of the Doi Tung
Royal Villa, on an expanse of hillside that was originally the
Akha village of Pa Kluay. This village used to be an important
route for opium caravans and those involved in heroin and
firearm trafficking. Situated in a deep gorge where the Akha
lived in a dense settlement without the possibility of
expansion, there was little space for hygiene, trash or
wastewater management. At the request of the Doi Tung
Development Project, the villagers agreed to be relocated to a
new site 500 meters away. This site sits on a hill with
expansive land. It has running water, electricity, and a paved
road into the village. |
