Twin Royal Stupas (Phra Maha Dhatu Nabha Metaneedol and Nabhapol Bhumisiri

1h 20m

A Symbol of Reverence The Phra Mahathat Napha Methanidon and Napha Phon Phumisiri are two majestic pagodas located near the summit of Doi Inthanon, built to honor the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit of Thailand. Phra Mahathat Napha Methanidon was constructed in 1987 to commemorate King Bhumibol’s 60th birthday. Napha Phon Phumisiri was added in 1992 for Queen Sirikit’s 60th birthday. These chedis stand as symbols of devotion and feature exquisite Buddhist murals inside, narrating stories from the Buddha's life. The pagodas are set amidst beautifully manicured gardens that change colors with the seasons, adding to their charm. From this vantage point, visitors are treated to spectacular views of the surrounding mountains, valleys, and often the sea of mist that blankets the park. The Twin Pagodas are a must-visit for their serene atmosphere and cultural significance.

Doi Pui Mong Hill Tribe Village

The Hmong Hill Tribe Market is a vibrant stop on your journey through Doi Inthanon National Park, offering a glimpse into the rich culture and traditions of the Hmong people, one of Thailand's ethnic hill tribes. Nestled amidst the scenic mountains, this market is known for its variety of fresh produce, including seasonal fruits, vegetables, and herbs grown locally in the fertile highlands. Visitors can also find handmade crafts, traditional textiles, and souvenirs that reflect the Hmong community's craftsmanship and heritage. A visit to this market not only supports the local hill tribe economy but also provides an opportunity to interact with the Hmong people, learn about their way of life, and appreciate their contributions to the region's cultural diversity.

Karen Village

The Karen Hill Tribe is one of the prominent ethnic groups in northern Thailand, known for their rich cultural traditions and close connection to nature. A visit to a Karen village in the Doi Inthanon region offers an authentic glimpse into their way of life. The Karen people traditionally engage in farming, weaving, and other sustainable practices that harmonize with the natural environment. Villages are often characterized by simple wooden houses, and visitors may witness traditional weaving demonstrations, where vibrant, handmade textiles are crafted using age-old techniques. While exploring, you’ll learn about their spiritual beliefs, customs, and unique language, which distinguish them from other hill tribes. Many Karen communities have embraced eco-tourism as a way to share their heritage while preserving their traditional way of life.

Sirithan Waterfall

Sirithan Waterfall is one of the most beautiful and serene waterfalls in Doi Inthanon National Park, located along the main road leading to the park's summit. This stunning waterfall cascades from a height of 40 meters, surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant wildflowers. The waterfall is named after Queen Sirikit, symbolizing the royal family's connection to the park and their efforts in conservation. The easy access and tranquil setting make it an ideal spot for visitors to relax, take photos, and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. The water flows through rocky terrain, creating a peaceful sound that adds to the waterfall’s soothing ambiance. The surrounding forest provides a habitat for various bird species, making it a favorite stop for nature enthusiasts and birdwatchers.

Wachirathan Waterfall

Wachirathan Waterfall is one of the most impressive waterfalls in Doi Inthanon National Park, located along the park’s main road at an elevation of around 1,400 meters above sea level. With its stunning height of 80 meters, it is one of the tallest and most powerful waterfalls in the region. The waterfall is named after the Thai king, and its dramatic cascade of water crashing over steep rocks creates a mesmerizing display of nature’s raw power. The area around the waterfall is lush with dense forest, creating a tranquil atmosphere that invites visitors to explore and appreciate the surrounding beauty. A well-maintained viewing platform allows visitors to safely admire the full splendor of the waterfall, with the option to take photos or simply enjoy the refreshing mist created by the water's fall. The surrounding area is often a great spot for birdwatching, with many species inhabiting the nearby trees.
