More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the air-conditioned van into a thin, cool air that feels like a hand on your face—Doi Inthanon’s summit sits above the lowland heat, the forest around you breathing mist. The day tour threads powerful falls, highland rainforest and the Roof of Thailand: the 2,565 m summit. Walking paths switch between boardwalked viewpoints and root-strewn singletrack as cloud and sun trade places.
