Doi Inthanon National Park and Pha Dok Siew - Day Tour (by CM Paradise Tour)

I think it's a great day trip for exploring chiangmai surroundings. It's relatively doable even for a non athletic person like me and evek my 5 year old could do it. We started with waterfall visit (no hike). Followed by a hike thru the jungle (with 2 local guides/rangers), going thru rivers, rice fields, small waterfalls, and thr trail is very proper with bambook handles at some parts. Then we had lunch (just okay). Then we were taken to he highest spot in Thailand (a bit chilly, can bring light jacket/sweater if you can't handle cold), then a visit to king and queen giant pagoda, built by the thai airforce to honor the king and queen. Followed by a quick stop to Hmong Market. Then we make our way back to the city. The only complaint was it started late. We were supposed to get picked up 7 to 7.30 AM, but didn't get picked up until 8.15. Which got us worried for a bit because there was no communication that they are running late. I was afraid the reservation got lost or something. But he tour guide (amnon) was nice. He said they were delayed because the other tour members were not ready yet when picked up, and our hotel was the last pick up spot due to the location.

So far good. 1 enjoyable day trip

Pickup was very timely, no additional processes and very easy. I really like the Pha Dok Siew trekking activity because it is very fun, the views along the track are also very beautiful and not difficult. Guided by a native guide from the mountain village who has memorized the route and provides lots of information (in English) about Inthanon National Park and the various vegetation in the forest. Highly recommended for trekking/hiking lovers.

It was really worth it tour, as Indonesian (foreigner) in thai I have no idea about the destination around chiang mai, fortunately this trip guided by well spoken english guide, so there was no problem for me. Highly recommend this tour, they also provide all in from transport, super delicious food, entrance ticket and english spoken guide.
