Doi Ang Khang

Chiang Rai

Fang is the town in valley same as Mae Hong Son, need to drive too many curves until you reach there but that place has very nice weather with many mountains and beautiful national park.


Naresuan
Monument
(KM. 75 west turn on R1178 - 5 km.)

Fang
A chedi in a small park marks the spot where King Naresuan died of sickness in 1605 in an expedition defending the kingdom against a Burmese invasion.

(KM.83 east turn on R1150 - 31 km.)

The road goes along a pretty route that winds through the low jagged range that separates the Vale of Phrao from Chiang Dao.

 

Tap Tao Caves
(KM. 118 west turn - 3 km.)

Fang
Two large caves contain many Buddha images. The northern cave penetrates the mountains deeply in an upward direction.  A path with steps and ladders goes into the cave for over a kilometer.

Humidity and harmless beasts such as wood-lice, cave pythons, and bats test the will of visitors who want to see the primitive Buddha images formed from stalagmites.

Doi Ang Khang
(KM. 138 west turn on R1249 - 26 km.)

Fang
The road climbs to the summit ridge very steeply (be careful when descending), continuing to an agricultural station specializing in temperate fruits and flowers and the Nature Resort. Temperatures get very low at night in the upland valley during the cold season.  A road along the ridge to the north goes to a Palaung village and army frontier fort, which you can visit. The route then (motorcycles only) drops sharply down into the Fang valley.

Fang National Park
(KM. 149 west turn - 10 km.)

Hot springs dot the landscaped garden, but the pipes taking off hot water to the geothermal power station nearby have spoiled the ambiance of the site.  A former periodic geyser no longer erupts, but there is a steam room and warm pool.
