Doi Suthep-Pui National Park

The park spans 262 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, encompassing three peaks with Doi Pui reaching 1,685 meters above sea level.

The Department of National Parks designated this forested area as Thailand's 24th national park on April 14, 1981, following a proposal from the Royal Forest Department.

The grounds contain Wat Phra That Doi Suthep temple, while Hmong and Lahu hill tribes maintain their traditional settlements within and around the protected area.

Visitors require entrance tickets to access waterfalls and camping areas, with local songthaew taxis providing transportation from Chiang Mai city center to park entrances.

The park's distinct environment supports over 2,000 vascular plant species, 300 bird species, and specialized wildlife like the Doi Suthep bent-toed gecko.
