The Doi Inthanon National Park aptly referred to as the ‘Roof of Thailand’ promises to awe all visitors. Spanning across Doi Inthanon the park also covers lesser peaks which in turn are home to gorgeous limestone caves waiting to be explored.
The park covers a total of 48,240 hectares and boasts warm weather in the lowlands while Doi Inthanon’s peak (2565mts) is famed for frost and temperatures of 5 degrees Celsius. Home to extremely unique flora and fauna the park boasts sights of the only Red Rhododendron in Thailand which blooms between December and February.
Rather than tropical foliage Doi Inthanon National Park is home to plant species more often found in moderate climates adding to the striking beauty of the area. Bird watching is quite popular here as are mountain treks and picnics.
