Doi Mae Salong (Thai: ดอยแม่สลอง) is a mountain in Thailand, part of the Daen Lao Range. It is located in the northern part of Chiang Rai Province only 6 km from the border with Burma.
This mountain rises in Mae Fa Luang District. Its summit is located near the town of Santikhiri which is built on the ridge.[3]
This mountain is famous because a Kuomintang military division created a settlement near it in 1961 after having been expelled from Burma.[4]
