Doi Inthanon National Park 
Adding to its appeal, the countryside around the city of Chiang Mai is a nature lover's dream. About 60 km (37 mi.) south-west lies the Doi Inthanon National Park, one of Thailand's finest conservation areas, its rugged gorges, picturesque waterfalls and impenetrable jungle being much more than simply tourist attractions.

Doi Inthanon
A trip to Doi Inthanon, 55 km (34 mi.) from Chom Thong and Thailand's highest peak (2595 m (9711 ft)), is one of the most scenic excursions in this supremely scenic part of the country. The mountain lies at the heart of the Doi Inthanon National Park, part of the granite massif which forms the southern foothills of Myanmar's Shan Mountains.
Travel agents offer three to five day treks on foot or by pony, staying overnight in Wildlife Association camping areas. It is also possible to hire local minibuses, and there are some bungalows by the National Park headquarters (just past the Hmong village Khun Klang).
