Located some 40 kilometres beyond Mae Chan,the rugged mountain of Doi Mae salong is topped by a settement known as Santi Khiri,home to descendents of Chinese Nationalist soldiers who settled in the area in the 1940s. The mountainside plantations of coffee and fruit orchards provide scenic variety,especially picturesque in December and January when Thai cherry trees are in blossom. Hotels,restaurants, house-riding and trekking are among the major attractions.
