From misty mountain peaks to riverside temples and ancient caves, every turn on this adventure offers a new story and a new view.
Day 1: The journey begins with a morning hotel pickup in Chiang Mai. Our first destination is the legendary Doi Inthanon National Park, where you’ll stand atop Thailand’s highest peak and breathe in cool, crisp mountain air. Wander among beautifully landscaped flower gardens at the King and Queen Pagodas, with sweeping views of forested valleys below. Next, refresh yourself at the roaring Wachiratarn Waterfall, a perfect backdrop for nature photography. Enjoy a satisfying local lunch before heading deeper into the mountains toward Mae Hong Son.
