The Roof of Thailand – Doi Inthanon
One of the biggest attractions in Northern Thailand is without a doubt Doi Inthanon National Park. And that is quite right. After all, this national park offers a very interesting mix of breathtaking natural beauty and richly diversified wildlife and is therefore, in my opinion, a must for those who want to explore the surroundings of Chiang Mai.
Thi Lo Su, the highest waterfall in Thailand
If you want to visit one of the highest waterfalls in Thailand, you have to go to the mountains in the western province of Tak. The Thi Loh Su is located in the protected area of Umphang and is both the largest and highest waterfall in the country. From a height of 250 meters, the water plunges over a length of 450 meters into the Mae Klong River.

Mae Takhrai National Park in Chiang Mai/Lamphun
The nature reserve has obviously existed for much longer, but it was not until December 12, 2017 that a large forest area of over 350 square kilometers in the provinces of Chiang Mai and Lamphun officially became a national park. After receiving royal approval, the Royal Gazette announced that Mae Takhrai National Park has become Thailand's newest and 131st national park.
Excursion to Kanchanaburi (1 or 2 days)
A popular excursion from Bangkok is a trip to Kanchanaburi. The province is best known for the Burma railway and the cemetery of honor. But there is more: natural beauty, Mon village, Sai Yok waterfall, Lawa cave, the river Kwai. And then relax in your hammock on your floatel.
The beautiful Pa La-U waterfall in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan province, is temporarily closed due to persistent heavy rains. The slippery paths and runoff containing cloudy sediment have created safety hazards, currently preventing visitors from access. Park officials are monitoring the situation and will reopen the waterfall once conditions are safe for the public again.
Phu Soi Dao national park is a large nature reserve located about 177 kilometers from Phitsanulok. The park covers an area of 48.962,5 rai or 58.750 acres of land. The park has a cool climate all year round due to its elevation of 2.102 meters above sea level.

Kamphaeng Phet Province is not an obvious tourist destination, but is well worth a visit, but don't expect luxury hotels and exciting attractions.

Lampang is home to several national parks, including Chae Son National Park. This park is best known for its waterfalls and hot springs.
Day trip to the Bua Tong waterfall in Chiang Mai
In Thailand, one does not look at a waterfall more or less. How much would there be in this country? One hundred, two hundred or maybe a thousand, ranging from imposing majestic waterfalls to simple, but no less impressive down streams.
Chaiyaphum, also Isan
If you don't know Thailand well yet and look at the (road) map, you tend to think that the Isaan is bordered in the west by the Motorway no. 2 from Korat to the border of Laos. That is not correct, because the province of Chaiyaphum also belongs to the northeastern region, which is called the Isan.
A day trip to a waterfall in Isaan
A day out with a Thai family in Isaan is Sanuk and usually means a trip to a waterfall. The whole family comes along in the pick-up truck, as well as food, drinks, ice cubes and a guitar.
The drama of the six drowned young elephants that ended up in the waterfall Haew Narok (Khao Yai) was even world news. Fortunately, there is now also something positive to report. A female elephant and her calf managed to free themselves.
You have been able to read all about the drama of the six elephants, who fell into a waterfall 50 meters below in Khao Yai National Park in Prachaburi and lost their lives, on numerous websites from all over the world. The unfortunate story is further supported by many photos and videos on YouTube.

Landed on a tropical island: Smurfs at the waterfall, you have to keep an eye out for it
Els has received a tip from a guest from the cafe that there is a waterfall where very few tourists come. There is a large and deep pool, where you can just swim and there is a rock to jump from. He said it is very beautiful and has a special atmosphere. Apart from Thai children, spiritual people also sometimes go there.
Today I'm going to the waterfall, that suits me better than all that swimming in the sea. It is also nice and cool. I feel like half an hour of climbing burns a million calories and I become more flexible and stronger.
Today is a special day…..I am sporty. The sports shoes are taken out of the mothballs and beaten out, you never know what has crawled into them. Filled the water bottle, put on a quick pair of leggings and go with that banana.
Reader question: How do I get to the Thi Lo Su waterfall?
