According to the chronicles, this Buddhist place of worship dates back to the year 911. It is an important pilgrimage spot for the devout. Coffee plantations cover an area of 15 km. There are 3.5 million coffee trees on Doi Tung. Almost half of Doi Tung's population is in coffee farming, providing a stable source of income for nearly 900 families. Doi Tung Royal Villa, former residence of the princess mother Srinagarindra, is high up on the hill. Thanks
