Located high up on the slopes of the Doi Tung Mountain, the Doi Tung Royal Villa is one of the most popular tourist attractions of the Chiang Rai province. A visit to the villa can easily be combined with a visit to the Wat Phrathat Doi Tung temple at the top of the mountain and the Mae Fah Luang gardens just below the villa. The elegant villa is simply designed and panelled with recycled pine wood while the gold teakwood flooring was presented to the Princess Mother by the Forest Industry Organization. The highlight of the villa is the ceiling of the main hall designed by the Astronomy Society of Thailand. It consists of hand-crafted wood inlays of the Princess Mother's favourite constellations with light bulbs representing the stars showing the position of the constellations on the day the Princess Mother was born. The Royal Villa is open every day, from 7 am to 5 pm.
