Review :
This
is the highest mountain in Thailand towering 2,599
metres above sea level. The Doi Inthanon
national park covers approximately 500 square
kilometres including 3 towns which are Jom-tong,
Sun-pa-tong and Mea-jam all in Chiang mai province. Doi
Inthanon is approximately 106km from Chiangmai city and
the road on the mountain is quite steep so you will have
to make sure that your car is in good condition to get
up there. If you don't have a car you can get a taxi or
the red car service which runs specific trips to the
summit. There are so many places to go such as :
- Mea Ya waterfall : (the
biggest, most impressive water fall I’ve ever seen). It
is 70 km from Chiang Mai city centre located in Aumphur
Jom-tong. With the 280metres high cliffs - this water
fall is so beautiful.
- Wachirathan waterfall :
This water fall is 750metres above sea level and the
walk is approximately about 351 metres from the car
park.
- MeaKlang waterfall :
This is the most famous waterfall in Chiang mai. Located
in Jomtong(about 66km. from Chiang mai city) you can
have a picnic lunch and have a swim here too!
When is the best time
to get there :
All year round but the waterfalls are most spectacular
in the rainy season.
How to get there :
There are tours and red car service to go there everyday
or you can hire a car or a mini van with a driver.
