(NST-1414) DOI INTHANON NATIONAL PARK TOUR

According to a cabinet meeting in 1972, Doi Inthanon National Park is one of the first 14 national parks established because of their high diversity of vegetation designed for conversation and recreation purposes.

The park made up of a series of mountains along the range known as Thanontongchai which runs North - South. This range is part of the great Himalaya range which originates in Napal. The highest of the park is 2,565 metre, which is the highest point of Thailand. The park contains many mountains of different series and heights, when one views from the surrounding plains the range looks like a series of rising and falling waves.

Throughout the park, different altitudes make plant and animal species more diversity. From the foothills of the range, people can see the almost perpetual fog which covers the mountain's top all year round. At the top of the mountain within the fog, visitors can see the moisture and dew that the fog provides the evergreen forest.

* Summer Season, March-May During this time, the weather throughout the park is generally quite warm giving a relaxed atmosphere with crystal clear blue skies. However, at the summer of Doi Inthanon, it remains quite cold.
* Rainy Season, June-September Throughout this season where it is often raining everyday, the park has beauty far different from any other time. With water and moisture in natural abundance and the forest is at its most brilliant green.
* Winter Season, October-February This is the most popular tourist season for the park despite or perhaps because of its cold weather.
