True coffee lovers will travel to the ends of the earth to get that perfect roast. And that is exactly what our team of intrepid reporters did on a humid midsummer afternoon, scanning the Doi Inthanon mountain ranges from top to bottom: Reach the pinnacle of Thailand’s tallest mountain, at over 2,500 meters above sea level, and you will find your generic Doi Inthanon tourist beverage served from a big, blue (overly-commercialized) booth. But stop almost halfway up the climb – 1,080 kilometers high – at the Mae Klang Luang village and you’ll find the real deal, the genuine fruit of Doi Inthanon soil.

During each school break in April, the deep silence at the Mae Pur Forestry Unit in Doi Angkhang is replaced by the sound of activities at the young guide camp for the Khob Dong school students. Started in 1997 by a group of teachers at the Khob Dong school. in Mae Ngon Sub District, Fang, Chiang Mai, the Young Guide Project was available to any student in the Khob Dong village who was interested in being trained as a guide and all they had to do was to apply. The main purpose of this project was to teach the proper way to use the Thai language, to shown the various techniques of welcoming tourists, on the importance of the environment and the preservation of their traditions.

It has taken many years for Riam Singthon to finally find her true vocation. After graduating with a degree in Education from the Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University, Riam tried several employments through her lecturer's connections in Bangkok and in Ayutthaya, but she did not enjoy any of them. Taking a break from work in Bangkok to visit Doi Angkhang completely changed Riam Sinthong's urban life after she decided to become a rural teacher based at a mountaintop school on the Thai-Burmese border in Chiang Mai. While visiting the Royal Agricultural Station at Doi AngKhang, Riam happened to see Sa-ngiam Pakdi, a Royal Project teacher with his ethnic Thai Yai children in a simple thatch-roofed classroom. Riam was very impressed and strongly inspired to follow in his footsteps one day at the Royal Project's AngKhang Station.
