Why this trip

Doi Inthanon is Thailand's highest mountain, and it lies only a few hours from Chiang Mai. In the national park paths lead to waterfalls, through cloud forest and to the pagodas on the summit, where the air is noticeably cooler than in the city. From November to April is the dry season, and the paths are passable. Chiang Mai itself lies in the north between green hills and counts over 300 temples.

If you seek activity, go into the mountains, visit mountain villages and explore the jungle on zip lines or hiking trails. Elephant sanctuaries in the surroundings focus on observation instead of riding and bring nature close without burdening the animals. In the national park there are two pagodas dedicated to the King and the Queen, and the Ang Ka nature trail leads through moss-covered cloud forest. If you arrive early in the morning, you experience clear air and calm before the buses with visitor groups arrive.

Night markets provide variety and good food after the stage. Bangkok, Krabi and Koh Jum lie ready as neighbours for combinations with the sea. In the video call you decide how many days of mountains and how many days of beach you wish for.
