Itinerary.
Depart from the hotel in the morning, heading southward of Chang Mai along high way no.108 to Doi Inthanont National Park , the highest peak of Thailand with 2,565 meters above the sea leval. Along the mountainous road up see the beautiful scenic view and lush green nature forest area. Around 44 kilometers up the top. You can see the highest peak of Thailand with the stupa of King Inthawitchayanon, the last King of Lanna Kingdom before we became Siam and Thailand later on. The King Once had a chance to visit this mountain which name “ Doi AngKa ” ( The mountain of the crows’ pound) and liked the place so much for him to ask his daughther, Chao Dararassamee who became the lady consort of King Rama 5th of Thailand at that time. He wished his ashes to be placed up at the peak of the mountain soon after he passed away the name of the mountain had changed to be “ Doi Inthanont ” since then.
At the peak, stand the stupa of the king among the cool climate in summer and cold in winter. In this place not only the beautiful forest area, you can also see some beautiful birds as well. Near by the stupa, there is a radar control station of Thai Lada Airfoce to keep control the border line between Thailand and Myanmar. After visit the stupa of King Inthawichayanont, enjoy 30 minutes walk in the Angka nature trail. See the lush green forest area and feel fresh with the cool breath against your face. Then continue to the Twin Pagodas for King Bhumiphol and Queen Sirikit of Thailand as the 60th years birthday anniversary which built by Thai Lada Air Force and locals. Inside the pagodas, see the beautiful art which telling about the Lords Buddha.
See a nice view and the small town below and the mountain valley which is surrounding us. This is a good chance to take pictures if you wish. After the Twin Pagodas of the King and the Queen of Thailand, continue to Hmong Hilltribe Market. See Hmong people who immigrated from southern part of China into Thailand over 100 years ago. They used to cultivate the opium until the King of Thailand spent his personal money to start the King Royal Project and change their lives to grow other winter crops and stop the cultivating of the opium. The fresh products as you’ve seen in the supermarket come from this place. Lunch en route and continue to “ Pa ka Yor ” or “ Red Karen ” who immigrate from Myanmar. See the way of life and their beautiful weaving products before visiting the most beautiful waterfall called Wachiratharn Waterfall with a powerful stream and return back to Chiang Mai.
