Doi Intanon, Waterfall & Meo Hilltribe
Chiang Mai City & Culture Tour
The prominent tourist attraction of the National Park is Doi Inthanon ,which is the highest mountaintop in Thailand. It is an ideal destination for most Thai people to visit at least once in their lifetime. The weather on the mountaintop of Doi Inthanon is freezing. And in winter, Doi Inthanon will be covered with the sea of fog, which is an exclusive atmosphere and cannot be seen in other parts of the country.
There are strange plants growing on the mountaintop of Doi Inthanon due to the atmosphere like primitive forests. Plants are covered with alga and moss. Species of flowering plants such as wild roses are similar to those at Phu Kradueng but they are much larger like 'thousand-year roses'. Moreover, there are fields of green and brown Kaotok Ruesi, a species of moss, which grows only in highland regions with high humidity and cold weather.
| Daily: 8:00-17:00 |
Lying south of Chiangmai, the granite mass of Doi Inthanon, at 8,500 feet above sea level, is the highest mountain in the country. Designated as a national park, the moist natural environment is habitat to a large species of birds, animals, flowers and fauna. After a final steep climb, the summit is surprisingly flat though misty, cold and windy. Visit the pagodas built in honor of their Majesties the King and Queen. A visitors' center contains information in Thai and English. A small chedi above the visitors' center contains the remains of Chao Inthawichayanon who died in 1897, the last independent ruler of Chiangmai, before the Kingdom of Lanna was incorporated into Siam. Enjoy the cool cascading waters of Mae Klang and Vachiratharn waterfalls. Visit a Meo hilltribe village which is a Royal sponsored project, and a poor Karen hilltribe village. Lunch is included. ( The drive up to the top of the mountain is exhilarating. Sweaters or warm jackets should be taken along as it can be extremely cold at the top. ) |
