1. Suan Son Bor Kaew

Experience the beauty of the Korean-style pine forest, also called Thailand's Nami Island. Thousands of pine trees over 40 years old are lining up, creating a picturesque atmosphere with pleasant weather, perfect for taking photos for your social media. Besides the stunning beauty, this pine forest is a trial planting of fir and eucalyptus trees.

2. Phachor National Park

The natural phenomenon from water flows, erosion, and wind becoming cliffs with strange soil patterns, huge stone walls, and columns, the same as in Phae Mueang Phi in Prae province. Some call it Thailand's Grand Canyon. Beautiful soil pattern, over 30 meters high. Visitors can have a one-day trip or stay over in the park (contact the park staff in advance)

Location: Mae Wang National Park, Santisuk Subdistrict, Doi Lo District, Chiang Mai

3. Wat Umong

Also called UmongTerachan is a temple with many tunnels dug into the temple, containing shrines and Buddha images for the tourists to pay homage. Each tunnel connects the other. You can sense the sacred in its beautiful surroundings, which makes you feel like you're exploring a mystical land. On top of the mound is a large, circular bell-shaped chedi, and you can find tranquil Suan Buddha Dhamma behind the temple.

Location: 135 Moo 10, Muang, Chiang Mai

4. Ang Ka Nature Trail

If you want a trip to Taiwan, you can only visit Doi Inthanon, Chiang Mai, and check in at Ang Ka Nature Trail. Experience the lushness of the green forest, fertile with trees and fog streams. Provides you a sense of traveling to Alisan, Taiwan.

5. Khun Chang Khian

Appreciate wild Himalayan cherry blossoms along the way up to Khun Chang Khian (or the Research Station and Agricultural Training Center). Especially in January each year, all the mountains will turn pink like Sakura with the cold weather, creating a Japanese atmosphere.
