Aim • Background
The Chang Hua Man Royal Project serves two main ideas. On one hand there is chemical-free farming and on the other hand
we have the harvesting of wind energy. For only 20฿ you'll get a deep insight !
Agricultural
As there is no water (like a river) the rainwater must be collected. This is done so in a nearby lake. With this water -
and without the aid of any chemicals the farm grows a lot of fruits and vegetables. As they are all accurately labelled,
this is also a very instructive excursion. You can learn a lot about thai fruits (vegetables) as well as some alien ones.
We suggest you start with the guided tour and later on walk or cycle to the points of your interest. You are allowed to
go wherever you want - in case you want to have a very close look on the rice, rubber-boots are advantageous :-)
As this is indeed a real farm, they also have cows and hens. Not only the townsfolk may buy the fresh goods in the nearby
'Golden Place' shop and taste the difference to industrial food ! Some rare flowers round up the portfolio.
Green Energy
As the farm is located somewhat higher (some people would say "in the mountains") there is wind available.
With 20 wind turbines there is currently a peak power of 50 kWh of electric energy generated.
The farm also includes a small, two storeyed villa, where His Majesty the King is said to stay when inspecting the farm. The car parked
there (with the auspicious plate ก 9999, เชียงใหม่) is the very first car of His Majesty.
