How to get there
:The Branch in Mae Chan:
Keep going along Chiang Rai-Mae Sai Road. After you reach Mae Chan, you should try to look for Pa Sang Junction and head for the way that leads you to Doi Tung, Mae Salong. Just keep driving. Don’t stop. Lastly, you will find the sign of Choui Fong Tea Plantation, which you should follow it.
:The Branch in Mae Fah Luang:
At the junction that leads you to Doi Mae Salong, you have to turn right to Ban Toed Thai. Just turn and keep driving for about 10 kilometres until you see Ban Phaya Prai. From that point, you will see another junction. Just turn left at it. After turning left, keep driving for another 2 kilometres, then turn right. Lastly, drive for the very last 200 metres and you will find your destination.
You can also hire a bus from Chiang Rai downtown, in case you don’t have a car. Your bus should take you to Ban Pa Sang. But, from that point, you must get a truck and pay it in a lump sum instead.
