Chiang Mai: Doi Inthanon Park and Pha Dok Siew Trail Trek

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 752 reviews · 1 day · from $61

Review of Chiang Mai’s Doi Inthanon day trip, with jungle trekking, pagodas, Karen village life, coffee, lunch, and waterfall views.

“I really enjoyed the trip. The guide was excellent, ready to answer all our questions. This is truly a wonderful opportunity to climb to the highest peak of Thailand, visit the fascinating King and Queen Pagodas, walk through stunning nature by the waterfalls, and finally enjoy a traditional Thai lunch and coffee tasting in a local village. The only thing I would recommend changing is the forest walk—although it lasted over an hour, it still felt too short, as if we were rushing the entire time. There were so many beautiful spots to stop and take photos. I think the local guide from the village should walk a bit slower…”

We did the 4pm tour and hiked up the trail, we encountered a few dogs, but the guide knew how to mange them. Beautiful temple and great views.”

Lunch was around 3 pm but tour guide warned about it and we had a stop to buy snacks, besides there were plenty of shops and cafes at each tour locations. Also, it was no additional charges and all entry tickets were included into the price.”
