CMU Coffee Plantation Chiang Mai 0.1.mp4

How to get there. From the Chiang Mai University entrance head west on Huey Kaew road (road #1004) it's 27 kilometers of paved road and 100 meters of good dirt road. You will pass the Chiang Mai Zoo, Wat Plahad, Doi Suthep and Phuping Royal Palace before the road becomes narrow. At the first intersection beyond the Phuping Palace you want to turn right up the hill. See note 1. This newly paved 3 meters wide road curves through old growth forest. Drive slowly and use your horn as the signs request. There is not enough room for cars to pass each other without some maneuvering from here on. The last 3 or 4 kilometers are downhill on partially moss covered often wet older paved roads also used by mountain bikers. Be Careful! Just drive slow and stop only on turnouts to check out the huge trees and mountain valley views. I ride a motorcycle to get there and find it perfect, when it rains I stop and open up my umbrella. Many people ride bicycles down all the way from the hill top beyond Phuping Palace to Huey Tung Tao with a stop at the coffee plantation. see Note 2. There is coffee and Macadamia nuts grown on the plantation for sale and cup of soup to eat. There is a clean basic toilet block to the right and down the steps. Walk around in the often cool and foggy plantation and gardens. The roads and facilities are not suitable for buses. Large groups should contact The Agriculture Department at CMU before going. Note 1 The fork to the left goes to a nice Hmong Village for lunch, looking around and shopping. There are gardens, stone grinding wheels, a water driven rice pounder and many crafts being made. There is a nice new coffee shop on the road in that offers stunning views, great coffee and clean toilets. Note 2 Many companies in Chiang Mai offer these Mountain Bike tours everyday. Ground transportation proper equipment and a guide are essential to enjoying the ride down hill beyond the Hmong Village just beyond the coffee plantation. There is often no telephone signal up here and lots of roads without signs.
