The area is renowned for mist when temperatures decline and images of
the mountain’s hazy beauty have become somewhat iconic. Two large
pagodas built for the current King and Queen of Thailand are situated on
the mountain’s summit.
Doi Inthanon Forest has been established as a National Park. A trip to the
mountain is often combined with a trip to Mae Klang, Wachiratan and
Siriphum Waterfalls. With over 400 varieties of birds it is also a key
destination for bird watching.
