Third one is a hike across the jungle where you end up in a small village that cultivate coffee among others, and you try the locally harvested coffee. Great experience overall! We came back around 7pm. Lunch was included, also transportation right from (and to) your hotel.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 233 reviews · from $50

Spend about 11 hours exploring Doi Inthanon from Chiang Mai, with hotel pickup, a two-hour seasonal trek, royal pagodas, Karen and Hmong communities, lunch, and Wachirathan Falls. English-speaking guides such as New, Mit Mew, Chin, and Goy have helped make this busy day run smoothly, but expect crowds and a full schedule.

“This trip makes for a great day out at the national park. We got a good hike round Kew Mae Pai (you don't need to be super athletic, but the first hour or so is uphill and will get your heart going). Some wonderful photo opportunities up there if the weather is good! Then on to the royal pagodas, which I appreciated more than I thought I would, a quick market visit, a really nice lunch, and then a visit to a Karon village for coffee. Our guide Chin made the day run really smoothly, adjusting to the weather and other situations as we went along. Recommended.”
