Thailand's tallest mountain, Doi Inthanon, is home to some of the most spectacular waterfalls, landscapes and cultures in the entire country. Situated just a 90 minutes from Chiang Mai, the Doi Inthanon National Park is a popular place for locals to venture for the day or to camp up in the mountains. With sensational temples, soaring cascades, hiking trails and a welcoming Karen hill tribe village serving up locally-grown coffee and fruits, it's easily one of the best places to visit in Thailand. Yet for some reason it's often skipped by visitors in Chiang Mai province, who tend to focus more on the awesome things to do in the city, or other famous spots in northern Thailand such as Pai and Chiang Rai.

Mae Ya Waterfall is Thailand's largest waterfall with a height of 250 meters and a width of 100 or more meters. Reaching Mae Ya Waterfall requires a drive, as there are no public transport to go there. Bring your tripod and ND filters for some long exposure photos, and also you can bring your drone, I fly in front of a guard and he said nothing (maybe it has changed though). The view from above is quite spectacular as you see the real size of this giant!
