The most common agricultural product from this Mae Kampong Village is pickled tea leaves, a trademark Thai product. In recent years, however, there has been a shift to the production of coffee following a dip in the demand for tea. If you choose to tour Mae Kampong Village in the early morning hours, you will likely come across the villagers as they make their way to the local Buddhist temples to partake of the monk’s preparation before proceeding to the tea plantations.

Located just nearby is the scenic Chae Son National Park, which houses hot springs, wading pools, waterfalls and walking paths. Visitors often come here to enjoy the outdoors in this beautiful spot as there are plenty of attractions to view whilst in the park.
