Climbing Doi Luang Chiang Dao - Thailand's 3rd Highest Mountain
Trekking up Doi Luang Chiang Dao (ดอยหลวงเชียงดาว), Thailand's 3rd-highest mountain, north of Chiang Mai.
Our recorded GPS track for this route can be viewed and downloaded from or
The night before the trek we stayed at the Chiang Dao national park headquarters, camping on the floor of their meeting room. We were driven to Den Ya Kat by 4WD. On the first day we hiked up to the large campsite, Ao Salung below the summit. We set up camp there then hiked up to the summit of Doi Luang Chiang Dao for the sunset.
The following morning we hiked in the dark up to Kew Lom Tai for the sunrise. Then we packed up camp, hiked down to Pang Wua where we were picked up and driven back to the national park office.
This is a very popular bucket list hike for a lot of Thais. We did it on a weekend in mid-January and there were about 300 people up the mountain, even though I've heard it's supposed to be limited to 150. Many of the hikers seemed ill-prepared and in inappropriate footwear. The summit was a photo-frenzy, the money shot being holding the Thai flag. Nevertheless it was fun, and a good community spirit, but go mid-week if you want to avoid the crowds.
We wanted to do this independently but it would be very difficult to do so. The national park and commercial trekking companies have it tied up. There are checkpoints on the the roads to the start. However it was nice to go along with it and have a porter to carry some of our gear.
The first part of this video, and the part at the summit were shot with a DJI OSMO camera. It's internal microphone was responsible for the terrible audio which I have done my best to salvage. The other parts were shot with a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 phone.

CHIANG MAI & CHIANG DAO THINGS TO SEE & DO | TRAVEL THAILAND
Cia and I loved our time in Chiang Mai, Thailand, as there are many things to do and things to see there!.
The first day kicked off with their end of dry season holiday - Songkran. It was an absolute blast, and we recommend going whenever you can!
It really is a chilled atmosphere, has great culture, and also has the best food in Thailand.
We took a trip to Chiang Dao with some friends. While you're there in Chiang Mai, don't forget to check out Chiang Dao! (Next time we will go see Pai.) Chiang Dao is worth going for a day to go see the mountains and caves.

CHIANG DAO CAVES - Not What We Expected!
Today we walked up the street from our accommodation to the Chiang Dao Caves - this is one of the ‘must see’ places when visiting the Chiang Mai / Chiang Dao region.
We love caves and find them fascinating, so we were very excited to see this network of caves. We had read all about them in blogs before going and had very high expectations, but once we were there our feelings about it all changed.
While the setting was lovely and the caves were impressive, we quickly felt sad about how this beautiful location was being managed.
Some information about visiting the Chiang Dao caves:
It cost 40 baht to gain entry to the caves, for this price you can walk in 2 chambers and see the temples. We would advise bringing a high powered torch as the cave ceilings are quite high and the lighting is not adequate or well positioned. You can pay 200 baht per person to go on a 30 minute tour which takes you on a loop through 3 other chambers. This tour is in groups, so pot luck as to how many people go with you. The guide takes a kerosene lamp. We’ve heard that it is not safety regulated in anyway. Old blog posts indicate that you can go through these 3 chambers without a guide if you bring your own torch but that is not the case anymore and they will not allow anyone to go into the caves without a guide.

A 3 Day Trekking Tour in Thailand | My #1 Travel Experience
NEW VIDEO: New York City's Best Rooftops | Six bars with amazing views and drinks
--~--
In a year of traveling the world, this was my #1 travel experience. If you ever get the opportunity to do a 3 day trek through the mountains of Thailand DO NOT MISS IT!
Book here:
I did this trek with my parents, Luis, and a group of like minded adventurers. Each night we stayed with a different tribe and learned about their culture. We fed elephants, rode on bamboo rafts, and hiked through the mountains. Doing this taught me that you don't need a lot of money to be happy. The people in the mountains don't have electricity, cell phones, or flat screen TVs. Yet, they are happier than many people living in the modern world. In the end, happiness is not about how much your salary is, it's about surrounding yourself with good people, enjoying tasty food, and staying healthy.

10 Best Things to Do in Chiang Mai
10 Best Things to Do in Chiang Mai
Doi Suthep
Gleaming like a northern star from the heights of Doi Suthep (the regal mountain overlooking the city from the northwest) is Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. It is one of the most historically and spiritually significant places in Thailand and is an impressive embodiment of the Lanna culture, with its origins dating back almost 700 years.
Chiang Mai Zoo
Covering 200 acres of land in the foothills of Doi Suthep and providing excellent views of the city in addition to fascinating wildlife exhibits, Chiang Mai Zoo is certainly worth a visit. Nearly 400 species of animal are kept here, including the two 'cultural ambassador' or pandas from China.
Chiang Mai Night Safari
Modeled after a similar attraction in Singapore, Chiang Mai Night Safari features three animal zones – Savanna Safari, Predator Prowl, Jaguar Trail – which you can tour via an open-sided tram or on foot. Enjoy a range of activities designed to keep you entertained throughout your visit, from hand-feeding wild animals and petting tiger cubs to a laser light show and ‘dancing’ fountain.
Wat Chedi Luang
Built sometime between 1385 and 1402, during the reign of King Saen Muang Ma, 7th ruler of the Mengrai dynasty, Wat Chedi Luang's massive chedi (pagoda) is a distinctive feature of the Chiang Mai skyline. At its peak, the chedi measured 60 metres across at the square base and 80 metres tall and was once the home of the Emerald Buddha, Thailand's most sacred religious relic.
Wiang Kum Kam the Underground Ancient City
Located in attractive countryside about five kilometres south of Chiang Mai along the Ping River, Wiang Kum Kam is an ancient city dating back to the eighth-century Haripunchai Kingdom. Expect to see many interesting items and structures such as stone tablets with Mon inscriptions, Buddhist sculptures and architecture, earthenware and pottery.
Mae Sa Elephant Camp
Having secured their names in the Guinness World Record, the elephants at the Mae Sa Elephant Camp are no ordinary beasts. Apart from going about their daily routine of bathing, eating, sleeping and just being domesticated elephants, these extremely intelligent animals have been trained to paint, play football, dance and perform a string of talent shows that will change the way you think about Thai elephants.
Doi Inthanon National Park
Doi Inthanon, the highest peak in Thailand, rises 2,565 metres above sea level. Known as a sanctuary for a wide range of animal species and perhaps the best place in Thailand for bird-watching, the park has approximately 362 different species, many of which are not found anywhere else in Thailand. Doi Inthanon is a popular destination, not only for its natural beauty, but also for its historical significance.
Doi Pui Tribal Village and National Park
Doi Pui, at 1,685metres above sea level, is the highest peak in the Doi Suthep-Pui National Park. It is famous for its beautiful waterfalls which are easily reached from the main road. But one of the hottest attractions for Doi Pui must be Hmong Tribal Village situated less than five kilometres from the famous Wat Phra That Doi Suthep.
Karen Long Neck Tribe & Chiang Dao Cave
At Chiang Dao cave, the caverns stretch many kilometres into the mountain yet only a small part of the complex is possible to explore. Two of the caves, Tham Phra Nawn and Tham Seua Dao, are illuminated by electric lights, but the upper caves are pitch-black and requires a local lantern-carrying guides to lead the way.
Bo Sang Handicraft Village
The handcrafting of umbrellas and parasols in Bo Sang Village is known throughout the country and even abroad – so much so that the umbrella has become one of the symbols of Chiang Mai. Here, you'll find plenty of hand-painted umbrellas, tiny cocktail umbrellas, large parasols for gardens or patios and other handmade products – all made from sa paper in various designs and at reasonable prices.
