Doi Inthanon National Park
Doi Inthanon National Park
Known as "Roof of Thailand," the park offers trails for all levels including gentle walks for young children.
The elevation change creates cooler temperature than valley Chiang Mai—relief from heat while hiking becomes educational about climate variation with altitude.
Monika's Tip
Start early (7 AM departure from city) to beat afternoon cloud cover and heat. By 2 PM afternoon clouds roll in reducing visibility to 50 meters. Morning visit guarantees valley views and clear sky photography. Afternoon provides cooler temperature but compromised visibility.
