mountain in Thailand, rising 2,565
meters above sea level. Doi
Inthanon National Park has lots of
amazing variation in its lush
geography and forest.
It is home to rainforest, mixed
forest, and pine forest. The

year, especially in the cool season
when there w ill be almost constant
fog coverage all day and a
stunning phenomenon of Mae Kha
Ning or frost flow er in the early
morning.
How to get here: Travel 58 kilometres west of Chiang Mai via
Highway No. 107 to Chom Thong, then turn right into Highway No. 1009
and continue a further distance of 48 kilometres along Highway No.
1009 to the summit. A good asphalt road takes visitors up but is rather
steep, thus the vehicle must be in a good condition. Visitors could pay
for the entrance fee at Km. 8.
