Doi Chang

Doi Chang in the Wa Wi Subdistrict is renowned for its excellent coffee cultivation and production in Chiang Rai Province. Visitors can witness the cherry blossoms blooming, typically starting from early January and lasting for about three weeks. Additionally, tourists can explore the coffee plantations at the Chiang Rai Highlands Agricultural Research and Development Centre. Accessible via the same route to Doi Wa Wi, a right turn at Ban Huai Khrai leads to Doi Chang, approximately 8 kilometers away. The road, mostly concrete, is narrow and steep in some sections, with minibus servicing in front of the Mae Suai District Office daily.

Tips for Visitors

• Temperatures can be 10-15°C cooler at the summit — bring layers.

• Cherry blossoms peak for about three weeks from early January — time your visit then for the pink hillsides.

• Stop at the village roasteries to taste and buy Doi Chang coffee straight from the source.
