Doi Saket
Doi Saket is a rural farming area on the northern outskirts of Chiang Mai city. Rice fields on the valley floor mixed with orchards on the hillsides make up the majority of the crops grown. The village itself is located about 10 minutes drive from Chiang Mai Superhighway. The village has few industries, but aside from agriculture, benefits from tourists visiting to view the murals and Giant Buddha at Wat Phra Doi Saket.

The countryside surrounding the village is beginning to sprout a few modern moobaan as the city grows north. Several small hamlets can be found along with the odd spa, which are becoming more common around rural Chiang Mai province.
