Attractions in Amphoe Mae Chaem |
Doi Inthanon National Park
|
|
This national park which covers an area
of 1,005 square kilometers is located on Doi Inthanon,
Thailand's highest mountain which is 2,565 meters above
sea level. Located between Mae Chaem and
Chom Thong, the park is comprised of the largest
tract of upper mountain forest which ranges across
Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, and ends in Northern Thailand.
The mountain ranges gave birth to the main tributaries
of the Ping river and formed the beautiful
waterfalls, namely Siriphum, Wachirathan, Mae Pan,
Mae Klang and Mae Ya. The moist and dense evergreen
forest is abundant with lichens and wild orchids. The
park is also a paradise for bird lovers. Visiting Doi
Inthanon is possible throughout the year however, the
best period for viewing the waterfalls is May through
November while the best period for viewing wild flowers
is December through February and for ornithologists is
November through March. |
|
How to Get There:
Travel 58 kilometers west of Chiang Mai via Highway No.
107 to Chom Thong, then turn right
into Highway No. 1009 and continue a further distance of
48 kilometers along Highway No. 1009 to the summit. A
good but rather steep asphalt road takes visitors up,
thus the vehicle must be in a good condition. Visitors
could pay for the entrance fee at Km. 8.
