This trip took place in early July.

In fact, go to Chiang Dao first, then loop back to Inthanon.

However, I would like to review Doi Inthanon without any reason.

Starting point: Inthanon Royal Agricultural Station

I have been planning to stay here if I go to Doi Inthanon.



The Royal Agricultural Station Inthanon offers the following accommodations:

1. Siri Bhum A House, accommodates 5 people.

2. Siriphumi R House, sleeps 4.

3. Siri Bhum B House, accommodates 2 people



This trip, we booked Siri Bhum B accommodation.

The price of 1,100 baht includes a breakfast buffet.



Leaving Chiang Dao in the afternoon, we arrived at Inthanon when it was already dark.

First, we checked in.



This building houses a restaurant on the upper floor.

Siri Bhum Apartment

It also has an attic.

Tea and coffee are available in the room.

The bathroom is a bit old, but it is clean and tidy.

Balcony, taken early in the morning.

The room is fully equipped with amenities.

TV, refrigerator, kettle, hairdryer, slippers, umbrella

Bathroom equipment Water heater



However, there is no air conditioning or even a fan.

Initially, I was concerned about the lack of even a fan, given my sensitivity to heat.

It is said that Doi Inthanon has a cool climate all year round.



Indeed, it is true. It gets quite cold at night, making air conditioners and fans unnecessary.



Okay, let's go find something to eat before we get too hungry.

The kitchen closes around 8:30 PM.

A hot cup of tea would be delightful in this chilly weather.

Fragrant, soft, and smooth.

Let's take a look at our dinner.

Exquisitely delicious! Every dish was a delight, leaving a lingering taste on my palate. The prices were incredibly friendly, making it an exceptional value for money experience.

The photo reminded me of the delicious food, and I'm craving it again.



Full and ready for a good night's sleep.

It was drizzling in the morning, so I went for a walk around the neighborhood.

Characteristics of Siri Bhum House

Siriphum on this side is very interesting. There is a mining stream flowing in front of the house.

Abundant flowers, a delight to the eyes and heart.

Looking up, you can see the Siriphum Waterfall.

Light mist

Let's go have breakfast.

The flowers on the table are so refreshing.

The breakfast buffet offers a wide variety of options.

However, there may be a shortage of food if there are many people. In this case, please wait and do not get frustrated.

Unlike typical buffets where large quantities of food are prepared in advance and presented in serving trays, I observed that the food here is not prepared in bulk.

It is unclear whether the restaurant's practice of serving dishes one at a time and refilling them as needed is a standard practice or not.

To avoid making too much at once, as it might become bland and lose its flavor.

(This is pure guesswork.)

Stir-fried morning glory, highly recommended, incredibly delicious!

Likewise, fruit desserts can be added one plate at a time.

The soup dumplings are incredibly delicious, but be prepared to wait, as they are only served in batches of 4-6.

After breakfast, pack your belongings and check out. We'll go for a walk around Ang Ka Reservoir later.

A Land of Wonders...Ang Ka

The Nature Study Trail of Ang Ka is located on the summit of Doi Inthanon.

The forest is breathtakingly beautiful, as if stepping into an ancient world.

As if in a dream dimension.



It is the source of the stream at the highest point of the country.



From the Royal Agricultural Station, the road ascends steadily to the summit of Doi Inthanon.

There is a sign saying "Park and walk down".

It's like a scene from a fairytale.

We are minuscule in this place.

So beautiful that I want to walk around and around for a long time.

I will come back again, this trip was short on time.

Let's continue to Pha Dok Siew Waterfall.

Return to the original path.

Stop for lunch at the Royal Agricultural Station.

Because the Pha Dok Siew route involves a considerable amount of walking.

Store energy for later.



Still craving the hot tea from last night, I ordered another one today.

Lunch was delicious as always, incredibly delicious!

However, during lunchtime, the place gets quite crowded, so expect a bit of a wait.

Full and content, now I have the energy to go hiking.

Pha Dok Siew Waterfall

To access the Pha Dok Siew Nature Study Trail, please contact the Mae Klang Luang Village.

Local villagers serve as guides.

This is a blank paragraph.

There are two paths to choose from:

The round trip from the village is about 5 kilometers.

It might be a bit tiring, as you will need to hike up the hill and then back down.



Alternatively, the car can drop you off at the starting point of the hike.

The trail descends for approximately 2.5 kilometers, making it a relatively easy and less strenuous hike.



Of course, we have already chosen to go down. 55555

If you choose the trip route, you will need to park your car at the village.

Hire a village taxi to take you to the starting point at the top.

The cost of the car is 200 baht.

#Guide fee 200 baht



A car like this.

And here is our guide

Please read the rules and regulations before proceeding.

Let's begin.

After a long walk through the dense forest, you will come across a field of white daisies.



Indeed, it is quite beautiful.

Turning around after transforming the chrysanthemums, I found this.



A cool, clear stream flows.

Meandering along, ascending and descending slopes, we skirted the edges of each waterfall tier.

According to the information, Pha Dok Siew has 10 levels, but the level that is convenient for tourists is...

The highlight scene in the story "Love" takes place on the 7th floor of a building between floors 6 and 10.



We descended from the 10th floor, admiring the beauty of each level as we went.

In some sections, there are stairs like this.

Tiny lives by the roadside

And we have finally reached the 7th floor!

It's me.

A group of people are sitting under brightly colored umbrellas. What a perfect coincidence.

This significantly enhances the vibrancy of the resulting image.

Legendary Bridge, Love Jang



Indulge in a long break to match your exhaustion.

We will then continue our journey to the village of Mae Klang Luang.

Mae Klang Luang Village



We continued our descent from Pha Dok Siew Waterfall.

The forest trail is beautiful, with lush and vibrant nature.

Through the forest, past the flowing stream, through the beautiful way of life.



Our team, in addition to...

There were only two other foreigners walking around, and it was very quiet.

This is a blank paragraph.

Let's follow the guide.

Passing through terraced rice fields in stages.

Some are vegetable plots, some are strawberry plots.

What is "eh"? What is this?

The answer is the bathroom. Oh, we walked in the forest for about 3-4 hours.

Restrooms are available along the way for those who need to relieve themselves.

After using the restroom, we continued on our way.

We're almost at the village! Woohoo!

Finally, we arrived at the village.

Let's grab a coffee first. Since you're here, you have to try the freshly brewed coffee.



Fresh coffee shop at Mae Klang Luang Center

Come and savor the freshest, most fragrant flavors.

Free drinks available, but coffee products are sold separately.

Buy it if you like it!

The aroma is so delightful and fragrant.

Coffee grinder

Sweet and fragrant.

Here is a bag like this. Let's buy it and take it home.

Restaurant Ambiance

Tears welled up in her eyes as she turned to look.

Let's go down and take a quick look at the village.

Go get the car that is parked.

The rice paddies were not yet fully grown at that time, but now I expect they are lush and green.

Mae Klang Luang offers a wide range of accommodation options, primarily in the form of homestays.

The level of comfort was quite satisfactory, indeed.

For travel on the Inthanon route.



#Private car

Head straight to Doi Inthanon National Park.

If you want to stop by Mae Klang Luang first, it's around kilometer 26.

Turn left at the Mae Klang Luang village sign, it's just a short drive to the destination.

If you go up to Doi Inthanon first, look to the right when you come down.



Public Transportation

From Bangkok

Travel by car from Bangkok to Chom Thong.

Then take a yellow songthaew (shared taxi) from the queue next to Wat Si Chom Thong. The route is Chom Thong - Mae Chaem.

If you want to get off at Mae Klang Luang, tell the driver to drop you off at Ban Mae Klang Luang.

Upon arrival, walk a few hundred meters into the village after getting off the bus. If you get off at other points, please let me know, as this line goes to Mae Chaem.



#FromChiangMai

Take a red songthaew at Chiang Mai Gate, heading towards Chom Thong.

Get off at Jom Thong and take a yellow songthaew. The details are the same as above.



Alternatively, you can hire a car with a driver in Mae Klang Luang to take you to other attractions on Doi Inthanon.



Alternatively, you can fly and rent a car directly from the airport for convenience.



This concludes the review. Thank you for your visit.
