Chiang Mai: The old Chiang Mai-Lamphun road, famously known as Ton Yang road, is home to over 900 Yang Na trees, each over a century old, majestically lining both sides of the road. As the rainy season approaches each year, these towering trees undergo a crucial trimming process to ensure the safety of nearby houses and road users by preventing branches from falling.
According to Thai News Agency, the task of trimming these massive Yang Na trees demands the expertise of skilled arborists and their teams. These professionals employ zip lines over 20 meters high, allowing them to maneuver above the treetops with precision and care. This operation requires a high level of skill and experience to safely manage the trees' significant size and age, ensuring that the trees remain healthy while mitigating potential hazards.
