Chiang Mai/Things to do/ nature
A Doi Inthanon day trip
The standard day out of Chiang Mai: waterfalls on the way up, the twin royal pagodas, the summit, and usually a hill-tribe market, with the driving done for you.
What we checked, 18 September 2026
Four Doi Inthanon day trips with real samples were read on their own Klook pages on 18 September 2026. Only one clears our bar of 9.0 out of 10 and 50 reviews, and it is listed. The most-reviewed trip, with 2,124 reviews, scores 4.3 and is named below rather than dropped. The park fee and the trail closure come from the Department of National Parks' own published data. We have not done this trip.
Verified via. Doi Inthanon National Park is priced by the Department of National Parks at 300 baht for a foreign adult, and the department's 2026 closure announcement shuts the Kew Mae Pan trail from 1 June to 31 October. The operator below was read off its own Klook listing page on 18 September 2026.

Doi Inthanon is the mountain everyone in Chiang Mai is sold a day trip to: the drive south-west, Wachirathan and the other waterfalls on the way up, the twin royal pagodas on the ridge, the summit, and usually a hill-tribe market on the way back. Our separate listing for the park covers going independently. This one is for the tour.
Only one trip clears our bar, and it is not the one with the most reviews. Four Inthanon day trips on Klook carry a meaningful number of reviews. Three of them fall short:
| Operator | Score | Reviews | Clears our bar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Doi Inthanon National Park Full Day Tour | 4.8 / 5 | 1,358 | Yes |
| Doi Inthanon National Park Full-Day Small Group Tour | 4.3 / 5 | 2,124 | No, 8.6 out of 10 |
| Doi Inthanon National Park Day Tour in Chiang Mai | 4.3 / 5 | 678 | No, 8.6 out of 10 |
| Doi Inthanon National Park and Pha Dok Siew Day Tour | 4.4 / 5 | 270 | No, 8.8 out of 10 |
The one with the most reviews, marked as Klook’s own choice in its search results, scores 4.3. We would rather show you that than let the badge decide for you.
The park fee. The department’s own table gives 300 baht for a foreign adult and 150 for a child. Check whether it is included before you pay; operators differ.
The trail closure matters for this trip in particular. The Kew Mae Pan nature trail near the summit, which several tours sell as a highlight, is closed every year from 1 June to 31 October under the department’s own announcement. A tour sold for those months that promises the trail cannot deliver it. Ask what replaces it.
No prices here. Klook quotes these in US dollars across several packages, so a single figure would not match your checkout.
