Doi Inthanonin kansallispuisto
Doi Inthanon National Park surrounds the highest mountain in Thailand, southwest of Chiang Mai. The park mixes cool mountain forest, waterfalls, hill-tribe villages and farms growing coffee, strawberries and vegetables.
Most visitors come on a long day trip from Chiang Mai, but a night nearby gives more time on the trails and at the viewpoints.

Milloin matkustaa
The cool season, roughly November to February, brings fresh mornings and clear views, and it can be cold at the summit. The hot months before the rains are milder here than in the lowlands.
The rainy season turns the waterfalls full and the forest bright green, but mist and rain often hide the views.
Paras aika matkustaa: tammikuu, helmikuu, maaliskuu, marraskuu, joulukuu
