Doi Tung:
Switzerland in Thailand
Many People Have Called Doi Tung "Switzerland in Thailand" (correct pronunciation is "Doi Dtoong"). This description seems apt when viewing the crisp line of mountains of Chiang Rai in the cool winter season, or when the mist and clouds of the rainy season roll in above the verdant forest against a background of an ever-changing sky.
This natural beauty has been enhanced through the effort and perseverance of the people of Doi Tung in reviving their once deteriorated forests.
