Chiang Mai Doi Inthanon National Park Private Full-Day Tour
Experience the natural beauty, mountain landscapes and rich cultural heritage of Northern Thailand on a Chiang Mai Doi Inthanon National Park Private Full-Day Tour with Phuket Travel Store. Discover Doi Inthanon National Park, home to Thailand's highest mountain peak, spectacular waterfalls, lush forests, colorful gardens and fascinating local communities.
Located approximately 105 kilometers south from Chiang Mai, Doi Inthanon National Park is one of the most impressive natural destinations in Northern Thailand. Rising to approximately 2,565 meters (8,415 feet) above sea level, Doi Inthanon is the highest mountain in Thailand. Its cool mountain climate provides a refreshing escape from the warmer temperatures of Chiang Mai and creates a unique environment for plants, wildlife and birdlife.
This private Doi Inthanon tour from Chiang Mai combines spectacular natural scenery with cultural experiences, temple architecture, waterfalls and an enjoyable hiking experience in Doi Inthanon National Park.
Discover Doi Inthanon National Park
Your journey takes you deep into Doi Inthanon National Park, one of Thailand's most important protected natural areas. The park is known for its evergreen forests, mountain streams, waterfalls and exceptional biodiversity.
The cool and invigorating mountain air makes a visit to Doi Inthanon from Chiang Mai a wonderful break from the city. The changing elevation creates a landscape very different from the tropical environment found elsewhere in Thailand.
The park is also a popular destination for bird watchers. More than 380 bird species have been recorded in the area, making Doi Inthanon bird watching an attractive activity for nature lovers and photographers.
Hiking to Pa Dok Siew Waterfall
One of the highlights of this Doi Inthanon private tour is a scenic hike through the forest along the Pa Dok Siew Nature Trail. This beautiful walking route allows you to experience the natural environment of Doi Inthanon National Park at a slower and more peaceful pace.
During the Pa Dok Siew Waterfall hike, walk through lush forest, enjoy the cool mountain atmosphere and discover the natural surroundings of the local Karen community. The trail leads to Pa Dok Siew Waterfall, where you can take a break and enjoy the refreshing scenery.
The Pa Dok Siew Nature Trail is an excellent opportunity to experience the biodiversity and peaceful atmosphere of the national park away from the main tourist viewpoints.
Visit a Karen Hill Tribe Village
Your Doi Inthanon cultural tour also includes a visit to a local Karen hill tribe village. Learn more about traditional life, local customs and the connection between the communities and the surrounding mountain environment.
The Karen communities have a long history in the region, and visiting a local village provides an opportunity to gain a better understanding of Northern Thailand culture and rural life.
Mae Klang and Wachiratharn Waterfalls
Waterfalls are another major attraction of Doi Inthanon National Park. During your Doi Inthanon waterfall tour, visit Mae Klang Waterfall and Wachiratharn Waterfall, two beautiful natural highlights of the park.
Mae Klang Waterfall is surrounded by lush vegetation and provides a peaceful place to enjoy the natural landscape. Continue to Wachiratharn Waterfall, one of the most impressive waterfalls in Doi Inthanon, where water cascades down the mountain surrounded by dense green forest.
These waterfalls offer excellent opportunities for photography and allow you to appreciate the spectacular natural scenery of Chiang Mai National Park.
Visit the Doi Inthanon Twin Pagodas
No Doi Inthanon full-day tour would be complete without visiting the famous Doi Inthanon Twin Pagodas. Known as Naphamethinidon and Naphaphonphumisiri, the two royal chedis stand high on the mountain and are surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens.
The Doi Inthanon Twin Pagodas were built to honor Their Majesties King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit. From the surrounding viewpoint and gardens, visitors can enjoy spectacular mountain scenery and panoramic views across the surrounding landscape.
The combination of elegant architecture, colorful gardens and mountain scenery makes the Twin Chedi Doi Inthanon one of the most memorable stops on this Chiang Mai private tour.
Reach the Summit of Thailand's Highest Mountain
Continue to the summit of Doi Inthanon, the highest point in Thailand. At more than 2,500 meters above sea level, the summit has a cool and refreshing climate throughout much of the year.
At the summit, visit the shrine dedicated to Chao Inthawitchayanon, the former Prince of Chiang Mai, who played an important role in preserving the mountain's forests.
A visit to the Doi Inthanon summit provides a unique opportunity to stand at the highest point in Thailand while surrounded by the beautiful mountain environment.

Customer Testimonials
Yaowarat Bangkok Food Tour
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This food tour was one of the highlights of our visit to Bangkok! We booked through Phuket Travel Store, and everything was perfectly arranged from start to finish. Our guide was excellent—friendly, informative, and full of interesting stories about Bangkok's Chinatown and its amazing food scene. We sampled a fantastic variety of authentic dishes at local eateries and street food stalls, all of which were delicious. The portions were generous, the pace was relaxed, and the experience felt very authentic. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bangkok. Booking through Phuket Travel Store made everything easy, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience!
Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions
We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!
Excellent day!
Excellent day by boat to visit the 4 islands, the guide was super friendly and welcoming. The day was rhythmic but lorgic with 4 islands to visit! And end around 2:30 pm so it’s rather nice to return quietly to the hotel not too late! Nice discovery, I recommend!
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
