Thai National Park- The best of both worlds

National Parks are always filled with formidable natural beauty and Doi Inthanon is no exception. However, different from the others, it also offers Striking Sacred temples. Below I will discuss the main highlights and some top tips for getting the best out of this Chaing Mai treasure.

National Park basics

Location: Chaing Mai, Thailand

Entrance fees: 300 Baht + 100 Baht for Chedis

Opening times: 5.30am-6.30pm Year round

Wachirathon Waterfall

Wachirathon is a waterfall of elegance accompanied by sun beamed rainbows bursting through the spotlights and thundering water falling from 80m heights. It is located directly adjacent to the car park and so easily accessible.

Sirithan Waterfall

Another staggering waterfall, this time situated in the heart of the Pha Dok Siew trail that offers impressive cascades and greenery. You will cross over the bridge to view its beauty up close and continue to follow the trail through the rolling rice fields.

Ban Mae Klang Luang Village

On most tours you will have the unique opportunity to treat your taste buds to locally roasted coffee in the village of Klang Luang. Here you can meet the villagers and support them through buying their quant homemade gifts. The village is located within the mountains, so it also offers a glorious panoramic view of luscious sweeping hills below.

Royal Chedis Temples

Finally, what some visitors consider the main attraction, the two royal chedis; built in honour of the 50th birthday of the King and Queen. These distinctive structures attract many visits due to their idyllic, picturesque colours and design. You can wander through the vibrant gardens and around the Chedis themselves to take in the mountainous views.
