Tourism on Doi Tung
In addition to benefiting from the natural resources in the Doi Tung area that have been restored to its original state, tourism has helped to “cultivate people” by creating jobs and livelihoods in the tourism and service industries for the younger generation. The four main tourist destinations on Doi Tung include Doi Tung Royal Villa, Mae Fah Luang Garden, Mae Fah Luang Arboretum (at Doi Chang Moob) and the Hall of Inspiration. Accommodation is available at DoiTung Lodge, and restaurants include Krua Tamnak and Krua Doi Tung restaurants. DoiTung Tourism continues to develop eco-tourism and cultural tourism to allow tourists to experience nature, the local way of life and traditions that will hopefully inspire them to share their experience with others.
DoiTung Lodge
Originally called “Ton Nam 31 Residence”, the building was formerly used as a residential hall for members of the Princess Mother’s entourage and officials of the Doi Tung Development Project. Today it has been transformed into a hotel for tourists. It is located on top of the hill of Doi Tung mountain range, offering visitors a panorama view of the surrounding area, as well as a comfortable stay in a peaceful and natural environment.

The MFLF therefore establishes policies for sustainable event organization as follows:
