A day in the embrace of nature! Located south of Chiang Mai is one of the most fertile troves of natural treasure in Thailand, Doi Intanon National Park. The invigorating mountain air and fresh, cool climate makes it a rejuvenating break from the city.

Doi Intanon, 8514 feet above sea level - the highest peak in Thailand, is probably the most preserved in Thailand. It is extremely popular among bird watchers, with more than 383 species having been reported.

On this tour stops are made at: Wat Phrathad Chom Thong with its holy relic and ancient treasures, Wachiratharn Waterfall, the twin chedi - built by Thai Airforce to honour King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit, and the summit - containing the shrine of Chao Inthawitchayanon, the former prince of Chiang Mai. A short trek along Michael?s Trail offers a beautiful and unforgettable experience. Lunch on this tour is served picnic style.

To touch and feel the true natural beauty of Doi Intanon National Park, join us for a 2 hour walk along the Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail, the most fertile nature trail in the area.

We will motor north to the Tone Pariwat Sanctuary Station, a beautiful place covered with gorgeous vegetation. You will ride an elephant through the jungle to explore its beauty.

The Elephant Village was opened in 1973 as a sanctuary for former working elephants. These elephants, through reasons of injury or ill health, can no longer be used as a part of the backbone of heavy work in the jungles of Thailand. Also because of their diminishing habitat, it is now longer possible to return them to the wild.

The Elephant Village provides these magnificent creatures with a safe haven, where they may live out their lives with dignity and freedom from fear. Spend the afternoon being entertained by the big tuskers, see them having a bath and how they were once used as a working animal. The elephant show includes demonstrations of training techniques, bathing, traditional roundup methods and the Glong Sabad Chai Ceremony with a war elephant. At the end of the show, visitors will have the opportunity to take a short ride on an elephant for an extra cost.
