Chom Thong Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

North Thailand’s Best Waterfall

Feel the full force of nature as you stand at the base of Wachirathan Waterfall. Located inside Doi Inthanon National Park, this 80m high waterfall is the first stop when you enter the Park. Enjoy it as part of a tour or using your own scooter/car. No opportunities for swimming here, but have some food/drink from the many kiosks nearby and appreciate what mere water and gravity can do for a while. Entrance fee for the Park: 300THB for foreigners.

I started 2022 in Chiang Mai, Thailand and got to go to the highest spot in Thailand. It's called Doi Inthanon. It was really extremely cold up there. The temperatures ranged from 7°- 11° C. However it had the best & most amazing scenery. It was just breath taking. Tge highoght was seeing the sun set from the highest spot in Thailand. Sunsets are just beautiful especially with the different colors.I also got to see other parts of Chiang Mai. #mytripvlog #awesomepic #nationalpark #wintergetaway

hiking in "winter" weather

#gohiking Doi Inthanon is the highest mountain in Thailand. We visited the Doi Inthanon National Park, and I truly loved the hike. The weather was amazingly cooling, and the view was lovely. Simply loved the greenery, the clouds, and the blue sky. Totally enjoyed the Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail a lot. Shall return soon to experience the overnight camping in this national park. #mytripvlog

Gorgeous National Park

Doi Inthanon National Park is a must see in Chiang Mai and Thailand as a whole. What I particularly liked where the King and Queen pagodas and the beautiful flowers all around. The brown one is The Kings and the purple one is The Queens. Both decorated beautifully but differently. It's great to walk through them and try to spot the intricate differences between the two of them. The chrysanthemums add colour and character and you can sit and enjoy the scenery. Remember to check out Doi Suthep Temple in the nearby vicinity too #2023travelwish #thailand #asiatrip #china

Peak Pursuit: Scaling Thailand's Sky-High Summit

In the heart of Northern Thailand, I embarked on an exhilarating journey to conquer the country's highest peak, Doi Inthanon. Nestled within the breathtakingly beautiful Doi Inthanon National Park, this towering summit stands as a testament to Thailand's natural grandeur. Doi Inthanon, fondly known as "The Roof of Thailand," stretches an impressive 2,565 meters above sea level. The mountain is part of the Thanon Thong Chai Range, an extension of the Himalayas, which spans several countries across Southeast Asia. The park that houses the peak is named after King Inthawichayanon, the last king of Chiang Mai, who was passionate about preserving the area's lush forests. The trek to the top was a blend of challenge and charm, with the rugged trails meandering through lush forests, past cascading waterfalls, and offering panoramic views of the mist-shrouded valleys below. As I reached the summit, the sense of accomplishment was matched only by the awe-inspiring vista of the sun setting over the verdant expanse. #myperfectstaycation #flowerlover #foodie #本地遊 #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #awesomepic #celebratewithtrip #passionpassport #DoiInthanon #RoofOfThailand #TrekkingAdventure #ThaiHistory #NaturalGrandeur #HimalayanRange #KingInthawichayanon #PreservingNature #ChallengingTrails #PanoramicViews #SummitSunset #MistShroudedValleys #LushForests #WaterfallWonders #SenseOfAccomplishment #AweInspiringVista #OutdoorAdventure #EpicTrek #MountainPeak #HikingHeights

Doi Inthanon National Park

One of Thailand's best National parks and highest mountain, the temperature drops by 2 degrees in the morning. You'll be refreshed by the beauty of the place, the twin pagodas, the weather, and the flowers. We hire private transportation because our accommodation is in Chiangmai's city center. Doi Inthanon is nearly 2 hours by van from the city center. #amazingthailand #2023travelwish #mytripvlog

🌺🌸🌼FLOWERS ON THE HIGHEST PEAK🌼🌸🌺

Doi Inthanon is one of Thailand's most visited national parks. It's known for its waterfalls, a few routes, remote towns, views, sunrise/sunset watching, birdwatching, cold weather all year, and, of course, flowering flowers at higher elevations. Doi Inthanon National Park, sometimes known as "The Roof of Thailand," is located in Thailand's northwestern province of Chiang Mai. The Himalayan mountain range encompasses the park. The Twin Pagoda has to be the park's showpiece. The pagodas themselves are one-of-a-kind, and they were built for kings and queens. The large flower garden that surrounds the place adds to its beauty. With the vibrant and flowering flowers, it's simply stunning. #flowerlover #staycation #themepark #chiangmai #thailand #wanderlust

Mae Klang Luang Village

One of the highlights of our Doi Inthanon trip is a visit to Mae Klang Luang Village. This village has a simple life with depecting rice farming and vegetation. It is abundant with producing organic arabica coffee and bath soap. Weaving is a source of livelihood too. This village has also some cafes and restaurants. #holidayvacation #tripinspired #tripmoments

Wachirathan Waterfall Chiang Mai

Getting There - This is one of the best Waterfalls in Chiang Mai area. I recommed to take a motorcycle to get up there m. just remember that it can get cold in the high mountains and it can rain a lot even if it doesnt look like it in the city. it took us around 1 or 1.5 hours to get there from the city center Attractions - This Waterfall is the best bit not the only waterfall in the National Park. The ticket only cost us 150 baht instead of 300 baht because we are students at the Chulalongkorn university in bangkok Hotels - there are some resorts in the national park Food & Restaurants - there are many restaurants in the villages nearby#tripblazers Shopping -

breathtaking waterfall in the national park

i will say that this waterfall is the most stunning and breathtaking one I have seen so far in Thailand. this waterfalls is located inside of the famous national park, Doi Inthanon, you need to pay the entrance fee 300 bhat to get inside. this is our first stop in the national park since everyone has recommended this one to us! you can see how powerful this water stream is, which might caused by the heavy rain for the last few weeks! for me, this one is even better than the famous Erawan waterfalls! and there are few restaurants on site where you are able to grab a bite and have a drink if you’re hungry while visiting. it’s such a beautiful place!!#tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #mytripvlog

Popular waterfall in Chiang Mai

#songkran2024 Wachirathan Falls is known for its powerful flow and impressive height and is a popular waterfall in Chiang Mai. I joined a tour to visit Doi Inthanon National Park. That tour will bring you to Wachirathan Falls first before Doi Inthanon because it is part of the Doi Inthanon National Park. The tour will give you time to explore around the waterfall. You can walk up a short paved trail to see the towering falls and to take beautiful waterfall pictures. There are a big parking area with lots of vendors that sell snacks and drinks. There are hiking trails for you to explore if you wish to have a close contact to the nature. Location: Chom Thong, Chiang Mai, Thailand

very beautiful waterfall in national park

it is sad that this waterfall can only be seen from far away, yet, it’s still stunning and beautiful. this waterfall is on the way to grand pagoda if you are in Doi Inthanon national park! you can leave your car or scooter in the parking lot, and walk for 100 meter, you are able to reach the view point . apparently some part of this place are closed, you’re not really able to see the entire waterfalls, still the walk in the forest is really pleasant, and it’s really easy to access to the platform where you can see the waterfall. the water is strong, and you need to be a bit careful if you would love to walk around, it’s very slippery #tripblazers #bucketlistreboot #mytripvlog

Beautiful Sirithan Waterfall

#songkran2024 I was clearing my annual leave at that time and thus wanted to make use of my leave to travel overseas. In the end, I decided to go Chiang Mai of Thailand to enjoy the holidays. One of the places I visited was Sirithan Waterfall. The scene there was spectacular and beautiful. I even managed to saw a rainbow at the waterfall. I really enjoyed my time there.

There are many hiking trails in the mountains here, but they are all short-distance routes, so if you like hiking, it's best to form a group to save money.
