Birdwatching
Due to many resident birds Doi Inthanon is a good place to see birds most of the year apart from July to October. The best time is around February to April when the big winter migration to Thailand happens which also is the breeding period.
See the markers on the map for few spots with info about typical birds found in the area.
Waterfalls
Doi Inthanon National Park has number of waterfalls, most of them easily accessible from the main road through the national park, only few hundred meters off from the road. The waterflow is good all year round but most impressive during the rainy season May to November. During the cold and hot seasons the water is more clear and more suitable for swimming if possible.

Mae Pan Waterfall & campsiteShow on map
Mae Pan is a 100 meters high waterfall off from the other attractions of Doi Inthanon, situated at the end of 2 km dirt road from Mae Chaem Road. It is the highest non-cascading waterfall in the park, due to it's relatively remote location it is not visited much by the local tourists which prefers to stop by at first 4-5 waterfalls on the way to the HQ. The trail to the waterfall can be very slippery, but worth the effort to get there. Apart from the waterfall there is a shorter loop trail that can be hiked in less than 2 hours.
There is a campsite in Mae Pan area, but there are no tents available for rent also no restaurants nearby.
