Kiew Mae Pan is a popular nature trail on Doi Inthanon. The highlight is the spectacular view of the sea of ​​mist and the mountains, along with cool weather all year round. 💰 Service fee: • Local guide fee 200 baht per group (no matter how many people come or go alone, you must hire a guide) The trail is not difficult, suitable for those who have never hiked before, but it requires quite a bit of energy because the distance is quite far. There are both flat paths, steep slopes, and wooden stairs to walk at intervals. Highlights: ✅ The trail passes through the rainforest before reaching the viewpoint of the vast grassland. ✅ If you come early in the morning, you will see a beautiful sea of ​​mist. ✅ The highlight is "Kiew Mae Pan", which is a high cliff with a panoramic view of the mountains and a sea of ​​mist as far as the eye can see. Recommendations: • Come early in the morning for cool weather and easier walking than in the morning. • Bring drinking water because the round trip takes about 2-3 hours. • Wear sneakers or hiking shoes to make walking easier. • Recommended time to visit: Winter (November - February) because the weather is cool and comfortable, there is a chance to see a sea of ​​mist, and the overall atmosphere is awesome. If you want to experience nature to the fullest and breathe in the fresh air, Kiew Mae Pan is a destination that you must visit at least once! #ChiangMaiTravel #KiewMaePan

Natural Journey: Of course you have to visit the highest peak in Thailand. ❤️Doi Inthanon National Park Doi Inthanon National Park is a true treasure of natural beauty, covering rugged mountain terrain covered by dense and lush tropical forests, magnificent waterfalls, and is also the best place to watch the sunrise in Chiang Mai. 1. The first stop is Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail, the mountain entrance of Doi Inthanon National Park, where we will start a two-hour hike! There will be a mountain guide at the ticket office, which makes people feel at ease. I felt quite safe throughout the whole journey. We went back and forth along the original route, the path was very clear, and we saw tour guides and guides along the way. The climbing height of the path was not too high, so friends who have the habit of exercising generally won’t find it too hard, right? ! The scenery on the mountain is very similar to Taiwan's Alishan! 2. King and Queen Twin Towers: After going down the mountain, take a shuttle bus similar to a double-decker bus directly at the trailhead and get off at the entrance of the King and Queen Twin Towers. Whether you drive yourself or join a tour group, you must take the shuttle bus at the square at the entrance of the mountain. The two pagodas, Phra Mahathat Naphamethanidon and Nophamethanidon, located 3 kilometers from the top of the mountain, were built by the Royal Thai Air Force in 1989 and 1992 to commemorate the 60th birthdays of King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit respectively. The dark brown one is the "King's Tower" and the purple-blue one is the "Queen's Tower". Both pagodas have exquisite Buddha carvings and delicate murals, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere. There is also a garden under the pagodas that is full of flowers and green trees all year round. It is worth taking some time to take photos. On a clear day, if you are lucky, you can also enjoy the vast and magnificent mountain scenery. The Mae Rim Botanical Garden that I visited last year is Queen Sirikit’s Botanical Garden. I feel like this queen must love plants and flowers. 3. Wachirathan Waterfall The last stop is to see the waterfall. The car drives directly to the entrance. It is very easy and convenient to enjoy the magnificent Wachirathan Waterfall~ The water is quite powerful. When you get close to the fence, you can feel the small water drops of the waterfall flying around. The sun was shining that day and I saw a rainbow. 4. If there is still time on the way back, ask the driver to take us to Big C for shopping and then go to Nimman District to find a massage to continue relaxing! Chiang Mai is really chill! #Doi Inthanon National Park

#Chiang Mai Tour Doi Inthanon, 2 hours from the city (4am to 6am) to watch the sunrise at Doi Inthanon, so beautiful and so cold (10 degrees that day 🥶) After watching the sunrise, go to queue up to Kiew Mae Pan, walk the trail for about 3-4 km, there are ups and downs, it's a bit steep, not difficult to walk, the view is very beautiful, peaceful, very impressive - Park entrance fee, car 30 baht/car, adult 60 baht/person - Local guide fee 200 baht/group #Kiew Mae Pan #Chiang Mai #Doi Inthanon

We went up on December 5th, it was quite cold✨ There were also a lot of people, maybe because it was a public holiday. I recommend not eating when you go up because there are rice for sale up there (otherwise you will throw up)😔 There are rice soup, noodles, and other things up there. The distance for us was already tiring on the way up, but the way back was twice as tiring. The way down is not just a way down, there is also a way up, it is very tiring. But when you see the view, it is very refreshing. (There are walking sticks provided on the way up, if you think you can't do it, you can use them.) #ChiangMaiTravel
