| The Royal Angkhang Agricultural Station Project was set up in 1969 under the auspices of His Majesty King Bhumibol. Primarily a research center, it focuses on developing a wider variety of marketable produce for the local Hill tribes which were
previously cash-poor and dependant on growing illegal opium as their major resource of income. The organic methods employed by the Project have had great success. Western berries for example thrive in the cool, mountain climate. As commented by His
Serene Highness, Prince Bhisadej Rajani, "The Royal Angkhang Research Station is a prime example of man working with nature instead of against her"
  
The Angkhang region is a trove of natural treasures. The invigorating mountain air, the fresh, cool climate, the breathtaking scenery and the quiet of the countryside all make for a rejuvenating break from the city. Enjoy trekking, bird-watching,
