Highlights

What if one full day took you from Chiang Mai’s warm streets to Doi Inthanon’s waterfalls, cool summit, and highland villages? Travel privately with your own driver and skip the rush of a group tour as the mountain road leads you into Doi Inthanon National Park. Start at Mae Klang Waterfall, continue to Wachirathan Waterfall, then reach Thailand’s highest point for crisp air and photos. Visit the Twin Royal Pagodas and flower gardens, stop for lunch at your own expense, and explore Mae Klang Luang village, terraced rice fields, and Karen coffee before browsing the Hmong Market. Choose the guided option for local stories, or a private driver option to explore at your own pace. If Chiang Mai is on your trip, this private Doi Inthanon mountain escape is one you should not miss.

About Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai is northern Thailand's cultural capital, a moated old city of temples, markets and crafts surrounded by forested mountains.

The old city, ringed by a square moat and the remains of brick walls, holds dozens of temples, among them the elegant Wat Phra Singh and the ruined great chedi of Wat Chedi Luang. Above town, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep crowns a mountain, reached by a staircase lined with serpents, with views across the valley.
