1.Doi Inthanon National Park Eco-Friendly Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6,667 reviews · 9 hours · from $46Our pick

Eco-friendly Doi Inthanon day trip from Chiang Mai with waterfall views, twin pagodas, nature trail walks, and hill tribe coffee culture.

“Our trip was incredible, knowledgeable and patient guide - thanks James. I’ve done a few of these and have always felt a bit weird being in a group gawping at native tribespeople in their homes but the money these excursions bring in helps them survive in the government assignment rainforest villages. Plus they sold us some coffee and we saw a golden orb spider so we were happy!”

A small-group day trip from Chiang Mai to Doi Inthanon, Wachiratharn Falls, hilltribe villages, Royal Project stops, and the Twin Pagodas.

“Nice, compact package with not much fluff. Driver (Tik) was skilled and helpful, and guide (Mumu) was funny and knowledgeable. We had just the right amount of time at each stop, and there was no high-pressure selling. We enjoyed not having to think about / arrange a self-guided tour — made the day much more relaxing.”

One-day Doi Inthanon trip with a Karen-guided Pha Dok Siew trek, twin pagodas, waterfalls, and Thailand’s highest point.

“We really enjoyed this trip - the main sites are of course beautiful but the lesser known spots along the trails were the highlight of the day. Our tour guide Narong provided lots of great information along the way and was a pleasure to chat with. The second trail was at times tiring in the heat but absolutely worth the effort.”

10.Doi Inthanon, Waterfalls, & Tribal Villages Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 484 reviews · 10 hours · from $36

Full-day Doi Inthanon tour with waterfalls, King and Queen pagodas, Karen and Hmong villages, and hotel pickup from Chiang Mai.

“Our guide and driver were incredibly attentive and kind, especially as someone in our group had difficulty walking and needed a cane. They offered great support throughout the day. The landscapes were beautiful, and despite heavy fog and a bit of rain, our driver was very careful, so we always felt safe. We still enjoyed every stop — the waterfalls were stunning with a powerful flow after the recent rain. We didn’t get the best view near the pagodas due to the fog, but it didn’t take away from the experience. We truly loved this tour and appreciated the team’s thoughtfulness and friendliness.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 324 reviews · 12 hours · from $56

Ethical elephant walking and bathing at Living Green, then hike Doi Inthanon for misty summit views, pagodas, trails, and Karen coffee.

“Our trip to the elephant sanctuary and Doi Inthanon National Park was wonderful overall. The elephant sanctuary felt ethical, the elephants roamed freely, each cared for by its own mahout. Afterward, we visited Phra Mahathat Temple, a stunning site with breathtaking views, though the guide just dropped us at the gate so we explored on our own. The hike in Doi Inthanon was scenic, passing strawberry fields and waterfalls, but the stops felt a bit rushed. The day ended with local coffee tasting, which was nice but could’ve included more info about the process. Despite a quiet guide, we’d still recommend this tour, especially for the elephants. It’s a great…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 233 reviews · from $50.8

Full-day Doi Inthanon trek with lunch, twin pagodas, Karen coffee village, Hmong market, and Wachirathan Falls, with hotel pickup.

“This trip makes for a great day out at the national park. We got a good hike round Kew Mae Pai (you don't need to be super athletic, but the first hour or so is uphill and will get your heart going). Some wonderful photo opportunities up there if the weather is good! Then on to the royal pagodas, which I appreciated more than I thought I would, a quick market visit, a really nice lunch, and then a visit to a Karon village for coffee. Our guide Chin made the day run really smoothly, adjusting to the weather and other situations as we went along. Recommended.”
