Doi Inthanon Nation park has several trekking routes

We took the Kew Mae Pan nature trail
its 2.78km long and takes about 2-4 hours to complete
You'll go through a cloud forest,alpine cliff and along the top of the mountain
Before the trip,we bought some snacks to eat along the way
The sausage is salty and spicy.Very unique taste and very delicious
The bottom right is sourpork

Thank you for sharing, had always wanted to go there, didnt realise it was so nice. The elephants/tigers are magnificent, the lantern festival so colorful & interesting, the sceneries so rustic & peaceful... see you had a lot of fun there.
