You can combine the Royal Villa with a tour of the Mae Fah Luang Flower Garden (same location). It's very inspiring to walk through the villa hearing (via audio) how the King's Mother changed the lives of the Hill Tribe people. The views from Villa are amazing as too is her flower garden.

Definitely worth the visit. YOu can take a self-guided tour around the former residence of the King's mother. It's a Swiss cottage inspired building with Lanna touches to it. You listen to the commentary spoken through a pair of earphones, and as you walk around, you press the corresponding number shown at each space and listen to the commentary about... More
