Thailand has a number of palaces and other royal attractions to keep the visitor rapt with enchantment. Touring these majestic settings will surely make the tourist feel as if it is a walk through history and royalty. Among these many palaces to explore is the Doi Tung Palace located in the Province of Chiang Rai. This setting is famous for the Dai Tung Royal Villa. It has the distinction of having been the very first residence of the mother of the King and it was constructed under her careful supervision. It is indeed one of the most popular tourist attractions in the region and the setting features a number of highlights such as the palace of the King’s mother. Her abode has been built bringing together Swiss architecture and that of Lanna. Since the King’s mother had lived in Switzerland for a long period of time, she wanted the features of that architecture incorporated into this construction as well. The premises also boast of the most breathtakingly beautiful garden in the whole country which is known as Mae Fah Luang garden.
There are four interconnected edifices in the palace premises that include the personal residence of the Princess Matriarch, a reception hall of the palace, another residence of the granddaughter of the Princess Mother, as well as a residence for the Princess Mother’s daughter. For any visitor to this locality it is indeed a must visit place to see the beautiful and vibrant flowers in bloom and carefully maintained flowerbeds and gardens.
Travellers who are keen to explore the area can stay at one of the Chiang Rai hotels. In this region the weather is mild and sometimes refreshingly chilly. There are picturesque mountains covered in mist and wonderful sunrises and sunsets to experience. Birdsongs can be heard throughout the day and those who are lucky might even spot an elephant or two. One hotel in Chiang Rai, where tourists can be sure to experience Thailand in its natural splendour is the Anantara Golden Triangle Thailand. Guests to this amazing place can be sure to indulge in cuisines from all over the world and experience Thailand’s culture and natural wonders at their best.
