..The path to find the winter to conquer once in your life!
From Chiang Mai to Doi Inthanon, the total distance is about 106 kilometers.
private car - From the city of Chiang Mai Drive along the highway. 108 Chiang Mai - Chom Thong When it comes to Chom Thong, there is a right split. Turn right into Highway. 1009 Chom Thong - Inthanon, 50 km, it will reach Doi Inthanon. Good cars can go to the top of the mountain. Because the road paved throughout the line. And to drive yourself, you can stop by the road easily.
Bus - Chiang Mai - Jom Thong Line from Chiang Mai Gate. Come to Chom Thong. Then join the two rows of cars that win two rows in front of Wat Sri Throne. The minibus may be out of time. And can not stop by the way. The charter bus is a good solution.
Motorcycle Rental - This is a recommended way (for people who drive strong) is the way I use it often. Because it can be visited as you like, and this route is ideal for riding a motorcycle trip, cool air, two sides, full of trees. Have a good breath The atmosphere is very good, which can rent a motorcycle from downtown Chiang Mai or do not want to drive far. I came to rent in Chom Thong at all. I rent 200-300 baht per day.
Let's see how better this route .. What to do?
Wat Phra That Si Chom Thong is the starting point of this trip. The front of the temple is a double car line up Doi Inthanon who do not have to go up the hill to contact me here. And to visit the temple to pay homage. To be prosperous before.
Wat Phra That Si Chom Thong is the annual relic of Chedi Chom Thong, a statue of Phra That Chom Thong on the right. There is a special difference from the other. The relics are not buried underground. But enshrined in the temple inside. Can be summoned to the water.
When turning from Highway 108, take Highway No. 1009 Chom Thong-Inthanon Road about 20 km (km 20). Notice the entrance to Wachira Than Waterfall on the right. Then turn into small alley. A ramp down the hill about 800 meters to reach the waterfall Wachira Than. A large waterfall during the water. The water that falls below will splatter, sending a droplet of water over the area. This restaurant has a restaurant and a bathroom.
From Wachira Thanon waterfall is not far. It comes to "waterfall Sirirat" (km 23) is a waterfall that flows down from large cliffs. The height of the waterfall is about 50 meters, the water flows down to two beautiful cascades. The surrounding nature is refreshing.
When it comes to km. 26. Let's see the left hand side. It is a field that is a step ladder, if it is right, you will see a beautiful step ladder. The range is that.
## September to October is the time when the green rice is full of rice.
## The end of October - November is the beginning of the rice, yellow flowers are full of glittering beautiful rice paddle to another.
And even though it did not come that period of time. It can be visited to sip coffee to see the traditional brewing process a little bit. Or maybe it's time to stay home stay, quiet sleep here a night, not less.
This is like a community shop. The agricultural products, both fresh and dried fruits and vegetables, are sold as souvenirs. Products that can be seen are seasonal fruits and vegetables that are interesting. Strawberries if come in the winter, of course. And in addition, it may have a strange look of the forest as well.
Most of the time, I will stop by the back of the hill. Because I do not have to carry or loop around the purchase to buy before that!
The distance that begins to climb up the altitude. Arrive in km. 40 will come to the main place. That is the Maha Chedi Nun Maethawan - Nopphon Phisiri.
Phra Mahathat Chedi Nop Methyledol - Nopphon Bhimsiri is a relic of the Royal Thai Air Force together with Thai nationwide. To make offerings to His Majesty the King's 60th birthday in 1987 and honor the Queen. Queen's On the auspicious occasion of His Majesty the King's 5th Birthday Anniversary on August 12, 1992.
The atmosphere around the Phra Mahathat Chedi both can see the view of Doi Inthanon surrounded by a clear view of the beautiful scenery without having to walk far away.
Arrive at the top stop. "Kiew Mae Pan" (km 42) Nature trail short. It is about 3 kilometers around. If you are going to need to contact the Guidance Officer at Kiew Mae Pan. Start traveling first, open to tourists early in the morning. This is the perfect time to take a walk in the cool air.
And at the point of view .. It is a view of the sunrise and a beautiful mist. It is very popular with tourists.
Nature trail study The short call. "Ang Ka" is a natural study trail that takes a natural walk along the wooden bridge path no more than an hour is complete. The ecology of this place is not like where it felt to fall into the primitive world ever saw a strange tree. Some species have a strange shape. This area is very humid. Look where you are, but the green of leaves and trees covered with moss ferns look green and refreshing.
Opposite to the entrance to "Ang Ka" is the peak Doi Inthanon itself. Is the end of the highway 1009 traveling together on this route.
Doi Inthanon is the highest mountain in Thailand, 2,565 meters above sea level. It is the location of the Royal Thai Air Force's radar station and it is enshrined in the pagoda. The last Chiang Mai The atmosphere here is cold all year round, especially in the winter. The weather is so cold that in some days, you can see "Mei legs" or "Mother me" by the grass.
And to this point, do not miss to take a photo with the sign "Max Siam" and "peaks of the highest point of Siam" is a memorial that arrived .. the highest point in Thailand !!
