During the summer holidays in april 2002, we drove up to Chiang Mai. One of the places we visited was the highest mountain in Thailand.
|
|
|
| During the
summer holidays in 2002, I went to Doi Inthanon National Park to
go to the highest spot in Thailand. Picture on the right is a view
that I took from the car's window while I was on the way up. |

|
|
|
| Picture
on the right shows the mark for the highest spot in Thailand. It
is 2565.3341 metres high from sea level. |
| |
|
|
|
| There weren't
that many people at the top. It was quite cold too compared to Chiang
Mai. It was about 22 Celsius. Everyone bought hot coffee to keep
themselves warm. I bought some too. |

|
On the mountainside there are two chedis for the King and the Queen. There is also a very colourful and beautiful flower garden.
|
| |
|
|
|
| These two
pictures above show the waterfall named "Mae Klang" in
this national park. In the picture on the right, I am washing my
face with the pretty cold water from the waterfall. |
| |
|
|
|
| There are
lots of people here. They are having a picnic and watching their
kids playing in the water. |
