Thailand's Doi Inthanon National Park is well-known for its clean air, stunning plants, animals, waterfalls, hill tribes, and picturesque vistas. The Wachirathan waterfall, twin pagodas with stunning vistas, and Thailand's highest point are all located in the park.
The White Karen (Not longneck) hill tribe hamlet and the Hmong hill tribe market, where the hill tribes are well-known for their coffee manufacturing, are also located in the park. It is recommended that visitors pack warm clothes because of the lower temperatures.
Doi Inthanon is one of the most popular national parks in Thailand. It is famous for its waterfalls, few trails, remote villages, viewpoints, sunrise/sunset watching, birdwatching, and the all-year-round cold weather at higher elevations. The main park entrance is about 70 kilometres southwest of Chiang Mai city centre.
Also known as “The Roof of Thailand,” Doi Inthanon National Park covers an area of 482 square kilometres in Chiang Mai province north of Thailand. The park is part of the Himalayan mountain range with elevations ranging between 800 and 2,565 metres above sea level. The highest peak in the park is Doi Inthanon Mountain which is the highest mountain in Thailand. The park has high humidity and cold weather all year round.
The park is named in honour of the king, Inthawichayanon, one of the last kings of Chiang Mai, who was concerned about the forests in the north of Thailand and wanted to preserve them. After his death, his remains were placed in the park as he ordered and the forest was renamed to Doi Inthanon.
The flora consists of moist evergreen cloud forests, sphagnum bog on elevations over 1,800 metres above sea level, dry evergreen, pine, mixed deciduous teak, and dipterocarp forests on the lower elevations.
The rainy season is May to October with most rainfall around July to September. The rest of the year is quite dry with colder weather around November to February.You will see the green rice field in the green season (July -September)
The Pha Dok Siew Nature Trail in Doi Inthanon National Park in Northern Thailand is a popular trekking destination that has recently undergone improvements. The trail is managed by the local Karen people and is one of two nature trails in the park.
With the support of a grant and assistance from Chiang Mai University, the Karen people have built bridges, stairs, and railings using bamboo and wood to enhance the safety of the trail near the waterfall. They have also placed educational boards along the trail to provide information about the local flora and fauna.
