Doi Inthanon National Park
Lovingly called
'the roof of Thailand', the Doi Inthanon National Park, which includes Doi
Inthanon, the highest mountain of the nation, is one of the most explored
points of tourist interest in this tourist destination. Situated in the Thanon
Thong Chai Range, Chom Thong District, Chiang Mai Province in the northern part
of Thailand, this wonderful national park, which was founded in 1972 A.D., is
perfect for being visited during the tour of Thailand.
Situated at a
distance of around 37 miles (60 km) from Chiang Mai, this national park also
includes Mae Hmong and Karen villages of approx 4,500 people. It is notable
that within its borders, you would find several waterfalls such as Mae Ya
Falls, Siriphum Falls, Wachiratan Falls, and Mae Klang Falls.
This national
park, which remains open all the seven days daily from 06:00 am to 04:30 pm, is
blessed with lush greenery. In this way, it is perfect for nature lovers as it
owns pine forest, mixed forest, and rain forest. The weather at its location
remains cool all the year round. It is particularly in the cool season when
there will be almost continuous fog coverage during the whole day and a
breathtaking phenomenon of Mae Kha Ning or frost flower at the time of early
morning.
