Not an accessible at all. You have 305 steps up the hill to the temple. It’s a nice temple, the goat temple that remains the relics of the Buddha. You have an overview of the city and have all the bells around

We did a lne day hike up the mountain which was absolutely wonderful. A misty and mystic mood eith a mix of slight rain, mist, clouds and sunshine. On top you can enjoy a great view. After the hike, we enjoyed climbing the waterfall and relaxing in the hot springs. A very nice nstional park.

Transport seemed challenging, so I got a driver to bring me to both Doi Inthanon National Park and Mae Wang National Park within the same day. The entrance fee was 100 baht per person, and 30 baht per vehicle. From carpark 3, it was a 15 to 20 minutes' climb (where you could choose to take the creek trail or walk on the elevated bridges) to reach the canyon. Upon reaching the canyon, there were various platforms for close-up views from different angles. The ranger at the canyon was very enthusiastic about helping visitors take photographs against the backdrop. There was a lack of English panels to explain the natural phenomena, but the canyon looked grand especially during the Golden Hour in the evening. The canyon was tall but did not cover an expansive area, so visitors have to manage their expectations - I enjoyed the view but that may be because it was my first time seeing a canyon.

Not many tourist or locals know about this place. It’s about an hr drive from the city of Chiang Mai. You would either need to rent a car or get a driver to wait for you while you explore this place. The drive up might seem a little off beaten but once you reach here, it’s a gorgeous place to explore. Make sure you wear good hiking shoes and explore!

My husband and I drove from Central Chiang Mai and it took us a little less than two hours to the park. There was an entrance fee of 200Baht per adult and a parking fee of 30baht to be paid at the entrance. It wasn't crowded on the day we visited. The tourist information centre was run down and there was no map provide. The posters on the walls are mostly faded. we were abit put off at first. Then we followed the self guided trail and walked round the park. The waterfall was beautiful and plenty of picture taking spots scattered around the park. we walked up the trail and along the way, adequate signage was seen. there were ancient drawings of the wall as well as caves. the trail was paved with dried fallen leaves and it was beautiful. it was abit slippery when walking on the leaves but we managed. overall it was totally worth coming.
