Doi Inthanon, the country’s highest peak, became a national park in 1972 and the area has long been home to Karen hill-tribe communities who practice upland farming.
The national park protects fragile montane ecosystems; visitors should stay on trails, avoid single-use plastics, and support local guides and producers to benefit communities.
