It s only once a year that we can get to enjoy the festive season amid the refreshing cool breeze right on the hill-tribe walking street at the Colors Of Doi Tung Festival , which is running on the grounds of the Doi Tung Development Project in Chiang Rai every weekend and on public holidays from 8am to 6pm until the end of January.
Organised by the Mae Fah Luang Foundation under the Royal Patronage, the seventh edition of the festival is meant to help lift people s spirits amid the spread of Covid-19, spread happiness and generate income for villagers in Doi Tung who are being encouraged to fulfil their potential and learn the process of owning a business in the community. As much as Thailand is home to us all, Doi Tung is home to villagers and people in Chiang Rai. This year s theme focuse

The Colours of Doi Tung Festival is one of Chiang Rai province s best-known annual events. Every weekend and public holiday in December and January, a fair featuring the sale of food and goods by hilltribe people and other ethnic groups living in Doi Tung and nearby mountains is held near the Mae Fah Luang Garden, a famous attraction that is part of Mae Fah Luang Foundation s Doi Tung Development Project. The idea is to draw more visitors to Doi Tung and enable the villagers to benefit from the high season.
