Pa Pong Piang rice terraces
The Pa Pong Piang rice terraces are located in Doi Inthanon National Park and are one of the most impressive photo spots around Chiang Mai. Rice terraces that nestle against the mountain slopes like waves await you here. The view of the surrounding mountain landscape is particularly beautiful during the rainy season from June to October. It is easy to walk through the small village, but as the rice terraces are privately owned, you should not enter the fields without permission. If you want to arrive relaxed, experience the fields up close and learn more about the life of the farmers, we recommend a guided tour.
Wachirathan waterfall
The Wachirathan Waterfall is a real crowd-puller in Doi Inthanon National Park. The impressive drop of over 80 meters, combined with the fresh breeze of the water mist, makes for an unforgettable nature experience. Not far from the parking lot, the waterfall is easily accessible via a well-maintained path. The viewing platform is also well developed. The surrounding area is characterized by lush green rainforest, moss-covered rocks and exotic flora - perfect for a short walk in the midst of nature.
Grand Pagoda Twin Pagodas
The twin pagodas Phra Mahathat Naphamethanidon & Grand Pagoda Nabhapolbhumisiri are among the most famous sights in Doi Inthanon National Park. The two magnificent stupas were built in honor of the Thai royal couple King Rama IX and Queen Sirikit and are enthroned on one of the highest points in the entire country. They are surrounded by a fascinating mountain landscape and colorful, elaborate flower gardens that bloom all year round. The atmosphere here is particularly magical in the early hours of the morning, when the mist settles over the mountains!
