Chiang Dao Essentials

Chiang Dao centers on the massive limestone massif of Doi Luang Chiang Dao, Thailand’s third-highest peak. This collection features the sacred cavern of Tham Chiang Dao and the 500-step forest ascent to Wat Tham Pa Plong. The region’s natural diversity is represented by the non-slip limestone tiers of Sri Sangwan Waterfall and the towering Yang Na trees of Giant Trees Alley. Cultural highlights include the sprawling Thursday morning market frequented by hill tribe communities and the King Naresuan memorial stupa, marking a significant historical military site.
