Wachirathan Falls
120 min
Visit the stunning Wachirathan Waterfall, one of the crown jewels of Doi Inthanon National Park and the most impressive waterfall in the Chiang Mai region.
Plunging from a remarkable height, the waterfall creates a fine mist that surrounds the area, giving it a dreamy, almost otherworldly atmosphere. The emerald waters swirl around moss-covered rocks, enhancing the natural beauty and serenity of the scene. On sunny days, a vibrant rainbow often forms in the mist, creating a perfect photo opportunity and a magical sight that delights every visitor.
The powerful roar of the cascading water, the lush greenery, and the crisp mountain air make Wachirathan Waterfall a must-visit destination for nature lovers and photographers alike.
Please note that the duration includes travel time from Chiang Mai to Doi Inthanon, as well as travel between the various stops within the park.
Sirithan Waterfall

Sirithan Waterfall is a spectacular sight where the waters of the Mae Klang River cascade down a dramatic rock cliff before joining the river below. The waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery, with dense forests framing the rushing water, creating a serene and picturesque setting.
While visitors cannot approach the base of the waterfall, it can be admired from a scenic viewpoint, allowing you to appreciate the full height and power of the cascading water as it tumbles gracefully down the cliff. This vantage point also offers excellent photo opportunities, capturing the waterfall’s natural beauty against the backdrop of the highland forests and misty mountain landscape.

Visit the King and Queen Chedis, two stunning pagodas built to honor the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX) and Queen Sirikit of Thailand. The King’s Chedi, known as Phra Mahathat Naphamethanidon, was completed in 1987 to celebrate the King’s 60th birthday, while the Queen’s Chedi, Naphaphonphumisiri, was finished in 1992 to mark the Queen’s 60th birthday. These elegant, mirrored structures are designed in traditional Thai style but with modern architectural touches, and their gleaming surfaces reflect the sunlight beautifully, making them even more spectacular.
The chedis are surrounded by meticulously landscaped gardens bursting with colorful flowers and fragrant plants. The location offers breathtaking panoramic views over the misty valleys and rolling hills of Chiang Mai province.
A visit to these iconic landmarks is not only a feast for the eyes but also a glimpse into Thailand’s royal heritage and devotion.

Ban Mae Klang Luang
180 min
Visit the Karen village Baan Mae Klang Luang, named after the Mae Klang river. Nestled in the stunning mountainous setting of Doi Inthanon, this village is surrounded by brilliant green forests, lush rice terraces and verdant coffee fields. In Mae Klang Luang, opium cultivation was the main source of income not too long ago. The Thai government has fought against opium farming among the hill tribes of Northern Thailand for decades, and nowadays the local population earns most of their income from farming, supplemented by tourism. Baan Mae Klang Luang is well known for its coffee crop.
Of course you are welcome to sample the locally grown and freshly roasted coffee.

Excellent tour, great tour guide and driver
We had a wonderful day at Doi Inthanon with our guide, Nancy, and our driver, Hero.
We started at beautiful Mae Klang Waterfall and also visited Wachirathan Waterfall, stopped for a beautiful view over rice fields, and visited the summit of Doi Inthanon, the highest point in Thailand. I especially enjoyed the wooden nature trail through the misty forest. Nancy explained how moisture collects in the trees and eventually feeds the waterfalls below, which made the walk much more interesting.
The King and Queen Pagodas were impressive even though the mist limited the views, and the interiors were stunning. I also really enjoyed walking through the Karen village, where we saw a woman weaving, people building a house by hand, and other aspects of everyday village life before tasting locally grown tea and coffee.
Nancy was knowledgeable throughout the day and very good at explaining the history, culture, and nature of the places we visited. More importantly, she paid attention to the people in her group and adjusted to what they needed. When I was having some difficulty with the walking, she was exceptionally kind and helpful.
Hero was also excellent and very accommodating, even holding an umbrella for us in the rain. Their thoughtfulness really showed at the end of the day. As we were discussing where they should drop me off, I mentioned that I needed to find a pharmacy but didn't know of one near my hotel. I wasn't actually asking them to take me to one, but before I knew it, Hero had spotted a pharmacy along our route and stopped for me. Nancy came inside with me and helped with translation, and Hero waited for us. They then drove me directly to my hotel.
Nancy and Hero were excellent hosts as well as guide and driver. Their knowledge, flexibility, and genuine attention to their guests made this a memorable day and a tour I would highly recommend.
