    Go up to Doi Chang. Drive past the Doi Chang coffee farm and head leftwards on the ridgeline road and look for Sirinya Coffee. Coffee with an epic view. Doi Chang is accessible via Highway 118 on the way down towards Chiang Mai. You turn right at Ban Tin Doi (opposite side of the road) at around the 25km marker to go up Doi Chang. If you find yourself driving past a prominent T-junction that turns right into Highway 109 towards Fang city, that means you have missed the turn off into the road that leads you up Doi Chang. You will have to round back at the said T-junction and go back towards Chiang Rai. This time, the turn off at Ban Tin Doi will be off your left shoulder and is not more than five hundred metres after rounding back at the T-junction.
