at 482 square kilometres, protects four major watersheds and, of course, Thailand's highest mountain, Doi Inthanon, which has its summit 2565 metres (8415 feet) above sea level.
This National Park, in Chiang Mai province, is unique in Thailand as it is 300 metres higher than any other mountain in the country which allows it to support a tract of upper montane forest and Thailand's only sphagnum bog (albeit a very small one).
Although there is quite extensive deforestation in places, due to a sizeable hill-tribe population, there remain large areas of quality habitat which is home to a very high number of species. The long road to the summit provides many places to stop and access the forest which is magnificent in places; particularly the moss-clad forest at higher altitudes. There are a number of accommodation options inside and outside the park allowing bird watchers to spend lots of time on the trails to look for the many ornithological treats that await. Birds seem to be in greater densities here than in many other locations in Thailand, meaning that this is an ideal place to see a large number of species in a short space of time and one of the most memorable locations for bird watching in Thailand.
