is the most famous longan growing
area in the country. The orchards are located some 8 kilometres
before Lamphun and with a further 7 kilometres after a right
turn. On both sides of the road are numerous longan orchards.
The fruits are in season during July-August. Longans were
introduced to the area during the reign of King Rama V and
have since spread into neighbouring provinces. There are
several species today which are popular among consumers.
