Trekking Areas in Chiang Mai

Southwestern Route Doi Inthanon Nation Park Area and Mae Wang Area

Doi Inthanon Nation Park Area

Doi Inthanon is Thailand’s highest mountain, 2,599 metres above sea level. Doi Inthanon Peak has a cool climate all year round. The Air Force Radar Station and King Inthawichayanon’s stupa located on the mountaintop. King Inthawichayanon, the last king of Chiang Mai, was concerned about the importance of forests and wanted to preserve the forests for future generations. He was so familia with Doi Inthanon that he asked that part of his ashes be kept here.

Birdwatching on Doi Inthanon

Inthanon Bird Watching Information Centre (Uncle Daeng’s Shop) is located at Km. 31. This is a bird information exchange centre among bird watchers, nature students and the general public. The information details the habitat and food of birds and animals living on Doi Inthanon. The aim is to pass on this knowledge to the next generation. It also provides the Doi Inthanon Bird watching Diary, bird sketches by various bird watching experts, bird watching trails, bird pictures, and slides.

Wachirathan Waterfall

The Wachirathan Waterfall is the second major waterfall on the way up Doi Inthanon. This one is an impressive and powerful waterfall falling (and I’m guessing here) some 50-60m though we’ve been told the height is more like 80m. The falls also is wide, but the segments to the right of the main tier tend to be stringier and lighter flowing.

When we were there, the falls had enough volume to produce mist, which in turn produced a rainbow. It’s obviously a year-round waterfall, but the flow becomes less intense as the dry season progresses. In the wet season, the flow becomes wide enough and misty enough to cover the wall over which it drops and thus can make photography rather difficult without drenching yourself and your camera.

There are plenty of walkways to experience the waterfall. However, the lowest walkway tends to be muddy and slippery from the spray so caution is advised for this section.

Given the ease of access, the falls tends to be quite popular. And once again, as with the inconsistencies in the way Thai is translated into English, you might also see this falls referred to as “Vachirathan” instead of “Wachirathan.”

Maaeya Waterfall

Nam Tok MaeYa waterfall is with 280 meters the highest waterfall of the Doi Inthanon national park near Chiang Mai in Thailand. This place is one of my favorites at the national park in Thailand’s Chiang Mai province. Here you can relax and listen to the sound of the huge Mae Ya waterfall. The distance from the parking place is about 600 meter through the tight jungle here in north Thailand. The small hiking path is easy to take.

On the foot of the MaeYa is a small place to rest and watch the might of the nature. We were visiting the fall in September 2009, and we were the onliest tourists on this peaceful place near Chiangmai. The best way to come here is by motorbike or car because than you can take your time and stay a while on the Nam Tok Maeya. If you come with a tour you have mostly many people around you and less time.

We really can recommend to come here if you traveling in north Thailand and want to see the beautiful nature here at Doi Inthanon in this part of Asia.

Mae Klang Waterfall

The Mae Klang Waterfall (Namtok Mae Klang) is the first waterfall you might encounter on the road going up to the top of Doi Inthanon, Thailand’s highest peak. This often-photographed waterfall cascades in a main maybe 25-30m or so tier before casscading further downstream in several drops.

The falls is actually on a spur road branching left from the road up to Doi Inthanon as you leave from Chom Thong (66km southwest of Chiang Mai). It’s a pretty popular picnic spot, but like I said earlier, the falls here is certainly no slouch.

Mae Wang Area

Located in the area. Mae Wang National Park. A one-storey high waterfall about 20 meters, 10 meters wide with water throughout the year as the most beautiful place of the river water. Forest surrounding the waterfalls dipterocarp forest, mixed deciduous, dry dipterocarp forest and mixed pine rainforest. Along the path to the point of natural water basins under waterfall Suitable for activities such as swimming, swimming.

Northern Route Mae Rim and Mae Tang Area

Mae Rim Area

Mae Sa Waterfall

Mae Sa Waterfall is another image of Chiang Mai, although it is somewhat less famous than some other sites. The waterfall has 8 tiers and set against a backdrop of huge trees it is very impressive. The climate around the waterfall is cool throughout the year and it is a very popular meeting place for locals.

For foreigners, the trip is often combined with a visit to the Mae Sa Elephant Training Centre. How to get there: Mae Sa Waterfall is about 25 kilometers north of Chiang Mai on the Mae Rim-Samoeng Road. A number Songtaews are available from the city to the waterfall.

Hill Tribes Village

Mae Tang Area

Mae Teang River

The Mae Tang River is Thailand’s most famous and fastest white water river, Mae Teang River.
