Doi Inthanon National Park

Thailand's highest mountain and its national park: summit boardwalks, nature trails, waterfalls and the royal pagodas.

Doi Inthanon is Thailand's highest mountain, about two hours' drive south-west of Chiang Mai in Doi Inthanon National Park. This page covers the park's family walks and viewpoints, from the short summit boardwalk to guided ridge trails. It is noticeably colder at the top than in the city, so bring warm layers, especially from November to February. A national park entry fee applies, some trails need a local guide and close in the rainy season, and road access can be slow on busy weekends. Check opening, guide and fee details with the park before travelling.
