Set at a beautiful mountainous location just a short one hour’s drive away from downtown Chiang Mai, Mon Cham is one of the best things that you should do when you are in Chiang Mai.
Mon Cham is a mountain paradise full of flowers and farms, making it pretty much Thailand’s own version of the famous Cameron Highlands of Malaysia. Nowadays, the area of Mon Cham is also dotted with many Instagrammable cafés, many of which also offer vast, picturesque views of the stunning Mon Cham landscapes.
