Elephant Ride & Doi Inthanon National Park 13/1/2550

Since we had such an enjoyable experience with a hired driver, we had another driver take us to ride an elephant and tour Doi Inthanon. The elphant ride was fairly expensive (600B) but well worth it.



The summit of Doi Inthanon is the highest point in Thailand, and consists of several beautiful waterfalls (Nam Tok Mae Klang was our favorite).



Equally impressive was the Phras built by the Royal Thai Air Force to commemorate the King and Queen's 60th birthdays.



We stayed a second night in the Chiang Mei Holiday guest house (200B/night) because we were too tired to find a new place. Because lodging is cheap and you often get what you pay for, we recommend the mid-range guest houses. It's worth an extra $5/night for a cockroach and mildew free room.
