Doi Inthanon National Park, National park in Chiang Mai Province, Thailand.
The national park encompasses approximately 482 square kilometers of mountainous terrain with tropical rainforests, waterfalls, and streams that serve as important water sources for surrounding areas.
Established in 1972, the park was originally called Doi Luang Ang Ka before being renamed after King Inthawichayanon of Chiang Mai who valued forest conservation in this area.
The park features several Buddhist temples and sacred sites, including royal pagodas built as memorials on the mountain summit that reflect the spiritual connection between nature and Thai culture.
The park operates daily from 05:00 to 18:00 with visitor services managed by the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation at the main entrance facility.
Doi Inthanon peak reaches 2565 meters above sea level, making it Thailand's highest point where winter temperatures can drop to near freezing levels rarely experienced elsewhere in the country.
