The research station is stationed on Thanon Thongchai Mountain, which is 900 meters above the sea level. With an average temperature of 4 degrees Celsius during the cool season and 25 degrees Celsius in the summer, the Research Station is considered a perfect place for cold climate crops such as tea, coffee, flowers and fruits. In addition, during the cool season, visitors will be able to see Dok Bua Tong (wild sunflowers) like those found on mountains in Mae Hong Son Province.
