 Mae Mai Plantation Site (Lampang Province) |
Thailand has a monsoon type climate, the wet season beginning in May and continuing through October. Annual precipitation along the circumference of the plantation is about 1,200 mm, most of which falls during the rainy season. Reforestation therefore must be carried out then to prevent saplings from withering.
