Description
Description
– Doi Chang, once known for opium, transformed into a thriving coffee village after the Thai government’s intervention in 1983.
– Arabica coffee plants provided to farmers led to flourishing coffee crops due to the region’s fertile soil and cooler climate.
– Doi Chang’s coffee is not just a beverage but a cultural symbol deeply rooted in Northern Thailand, cultivated by the Akha and Lahu hill tribes.
– The cultivation of coffee provides these tribes with income and helps preserve their cultural heritage.
– The vibrant Doi Chang Coffee Festival celebrates the coffee harvest season, highlighting Thailand’s emergence as a prominent coffee producer in Asia with a focus on high-quality coffees.
