Chom Thong District offers exceptional mountain property opportunities in southern Chiang Mai, anchored by Doi Inthanon, Thailand's highest peak at 2,565 meters. Named after the golden hill covered in Bastard teak and coral trees, this district combines ancient Buddhist heritage with royal patronage.
The legendary Wat Phra That Si Chom Thong, a 12th-century temple housing sacred Buddha skull relics, showcases exquisite Lanna architecture and attracts spiritual tourism. According to temple legend, King Asoka placed Buddha's relics here, establishing centuries of pilgrimage tradition.
Property investors benefit from proximity to Royal Agricultural Research Centres, natural hot springs, and Mae Klang Waterfall. The district's cool climate year-round, established tourism infrastructure, and accessibility 70km from Chiang Mai city make it ideal for luxury mountain resorts, wellness retreats, and heritage properties targeting international buyers seeking authentic Lanna culture with royal connections.
