Doi Inthanon is Thailand's highest peak at 2,595m. The summit of the mountain is surprisingly
flat. Often shrouded in mists, the
trees are covered on moss. The mountain is also a National
Park and the winding route to the top is stunning with terraced rice fields,
cultivated valleys and a few hill tribe villages. The park covers 482sq km and is
one of the most visited in Thailand
Just beneath the summit, in a spectacular position, are a pair of bronze and
gold-tiled chedis, one dedicated to the King in 1989 and the other dedicated to
the Queen in 1992. Both chedis contain intricate symbolism and have been built
to reaffirm the unity of the Thai Nation.
