Doi Inthanon National Park

Today’s tour had 5 stops, including the highest point in Thailand!

Wachirathan Falls

First stop was this beautiful waterfall, where the water was falling 80m the closer you get the wetter you get!

Sirithan Waterfall

Our second waterfall was Sirithan and was named by her Majesty Queen Sirikit. This one was only 40m and we walked down, but you can’t get as close as the first one.

Local village – Ban Mae Klang Luang

We stopped for coffee & tea at a local village. They used to plant opium here, but when it was made illegal, they changed it to coffee beans and weaving. We had lunch here, with chicken, rice, seaweed soup, vegetables, and omelette. The rice fiess had started their harvest.

Phra Maha Dhatu Naphamethinidon and Naphaphonphumisiri Pagoda

These twin pagodas were built to honor the 60th birthday of the King and Queen in 1987 and 1992 respectively. One is called Naphamethinidon, meaning “by the strength of the land and air”, and the other, Naphaphonphumisiri, meaning “being the strength of the air and the grace of the land”.

Doi Inthanon highest point

We walked to the highest point in Thailand, which is 2,565 m. There were two points, a sign saying it’s the highest point and then the real one one lol
