INTRODUCTION
Welcome to Doi Inthanon National
Park!
There is much to see and do here!
Doi Inthanon is Thailand's tallest
mountain - reaching a height of 2,565.334 meters (about 8,500 feet)
above sea level.
Doi Inthanon National Park was established
by an act of Congress in 1966 and now encompasses almost 500 square
kilometers of land.
It is an important source of water
for Chiang Mai Province, and for the nation; the waters that fall on
this mountain feed the Mae Chaem and Mae Ping Rivers, and eventually flow
through the Chao Phraya River to the Gulf of Thailand.
It is home to many endemic species of
birds,
plants, and insects, and it is a very important wintering ground for
migrating birds.
