Cold in every season | Kiew Mae Pan 🥶🧣
Every winter, you must come here, "Kiw Mae Pan"
Kiw Mae Pan >> It looks like a short trail that allows tourists to admire the sea of mist viewpoint with a 360-degree view. Throughout the route, tourists will wind along the steep mountain slopes. There are viewpoints at intervals. There are waterfalls along the way. This place is suitable for those who like to walk and see nature for a short distance. It doesn't take long, about 2-3 hours, and you will also get a magnificent view.

Location: Mae Klang Luang Villa
Mae Klang Luang Villa, a place to stay at Doi Inthanon, Chiang Mai
Atmosphere: The atmosphere and view remain natural, peaceful, and shady with terraced fields. However, if you visit during the winter, the fields might be a bit dry. It would be much more beautiful during the rainy season. There are also large trees providing shade. The owner is very friendly and always smiling. The rooms are clean, the prices are quite affordable, and the food tastes good. I would definitely stay here again on my next holiday.

The highest point in Thailand is Doi Inthanon, everyone. It is 2,565.3341 meters above sea level!!
We visited Kiew Mae Pan before going to Doi Inthanon, so the weather was not too cold but still cool. It was around 11 degrees. The officer said that there was frost on the grass, but when we went to look, it started to melt.

Thai Sakura, Doi Inthanon area🌸💗
#tripflytoaskfornewyear
🌸Every January, there will be a lot of Thai sakura (Tiger Lily) blooming in Chiang Mai Province. So we organized a trip to follow the sakura.
💘We came to the Inthanon Lady Slipper Orchid Conservation Project. We went on January 18. The trees outside the fence were in full bloom. The inner side of the riverside is still beautiful but some panicles have started to fall. Come and see the Tiger Lily flowers. The pink color reflecting on the water is very beautiful.
✅Most importantly, it is free of charge!!

Capturing the Splendor of Wachirathan Waterfall in Chiang Mai
#waterfall
Nestled in the lush landscapes of Doi Inthanon National Park, Wachirathan Waterfall stands as one of Chiang Mai's most majestic natural wonders. This powerful waterfall is not only a sight to behold but also a popular spot for photography enthusiasts looking to capture the essence of Thailand's tropical beauty.
A Photographer's Dream
Wachirathan Waterfall cascades over steep cliffs into a misty pool below, creating a dynamic and visually stunning scene perfect for photography. The waterfall’s considerable height and volume result in a refreshing mist that cools the air and adds a mystical quality to the surrounding environment. Photographers will find ample opportunities to capture the dramatic force of nature, whether through wide shots that encompass the entire scene or close-ups that focus on the water’s intricate details.
Perfect Setting for Memorable Photos
The area around Wachirathan Waterfall is well-maintained with several vantage points and pathways that allow for different perspectives and compositions. The lush greenery, combined with the waterfall’s white froth, creates a vibrant contrast that enhances any photo. For those looking to include themselves in the frame, the site offers several spots where you can pose safely in front of the waterfall’s grand backdrop.
Visitor Tips
- Best Time to Visit: Early morning is the ideal time for photography at Wachirathan Waterfall. The softer light provides better illumination of the waterfall, and the cooler temperatures make for a more comfortable visit. Additionally, arriving early helps avoid the crowds that gather later in the day.
- Gear Recommendations: Due to the mist from the waterfall, it's wise to protect your camera equipment. Using a waterproof cover can help prevent any damage. Also, consider bringing a tripod for stable long-exposure shots that capture the flowing movement of the water.
- Safety First: Always stay on marked trails and viewing platforms. The rocks around the waterfall can be slippery, so wear sturdy, non-slip shoes, and remain cautious while setting up equipment or posing for photos.

Floral Splendor at Doi Inthanon Pagoda
#flowerblossom
Doi Inthanon, known as the "Roof of Thailand," offers more than just breathtaking views from its peak. The pagodas near the summit are surrounded by meticulously maintained gardens that come alive with vibrant flower blossoms, creating a spectacle of color and beauty that captivates all who visit.
Gardens of Ethereal Beauty
The gardens around the Doi Inthanon Pagodas, known for their tranquility and natural elegance, reach their peak beauty when the flowers are in full bloom. The area is home to a variety of flowers, including rhododendrons, which are native to the region, and a multitude of other species that paint the landscape in vivid hues of pink, red, purple, and yellow. The cooler climate of the high altitude supports a diverse range of flora not typically found in other parts of Thailand.
A Peaceful Retreat
Visiting these gardens offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. As you wander through the paths lined with blooming flowers, the only sounds are the gentle rustle of leaves and the soft murmur of wind. The setting is not only perfect for relaxation and reflection but also provides numerous opportunities for photography enthusiasts to capture the stunning scenery.
Cultural and Spiritual Significance
The pagodas themselves, dedicated to the King and Queen of Thailand, add a profound cultural and spiritual layer to the visit. The elegant architecture of the pagodas, combined with the surrounding floral beauty, offers a harmonious blend of nature and devotion. Visitors often take a moment to enjoy the quiet spiritual atmosphere, which is enhanced by the natural beauty that surrounds these sacred structures.
Visitor Tips
- Best Time to Visit: The best time to experience the flower blossoms is during the cooler months from November to February when the flowers are in full bloom and the weather is most pleasant.
- Prepare for the Climate: Even though Thailand is generally warm, the high altitude of Doi Inthanon can make it quite chilly, especially in the morning and evening. Dress in layers to adjust comfortably as you explore.
- Respect the Site: Remember to treat the gardens and the pagodas with respect. These are not only tourist attractions but also places of spiritual significance.
