One of the largest tea producers in Thailand, it grows teas such as green, black and Oolong in the highlands at about 1,200 meters above sea level.

Visitors can have a cup of tea and pastries in the plantation's cafe, with magnificent views of the tea plantations that stretch about 160 hectares.

It also has a shop that sells all kinds of tea and souvenirs.

Sometimes you can see female workers from the local villages picking tea leaves and dropping them into bamboo baskets on their backs. They are often dressed in traditional costumes.

Another attraction is the Wat Rong Khun, or the White Temple, one of the most beautiful temples in Thailand.

Its stunning white architecture and delicate carvings and sculptures showcase heaven, hell and nirvana.

As you cross a bridge over a lake to the main hall of the temple, you will see carvings of outstretched hands that symbolize temptation and desire.
