Editorial Assessment

Doi Inthanon is a stunning national park in Thailand with outstanding views and rich biodiversity, but as a primarily man-made landscape with major architectural elements, it doesn't qualify for a top rating reserved for natural landmarks.

Gorgeous but felt like it wasn’t much. Inside the pagodas were okay. Cool to go inside but nothing super special. Very small interior of pagodas. A little worn down. The park itself was beautiful. It is very cool despite chiang mai being so hot. Dropped like 15-20 degrees being here which was very cooling! Went during rain season so we couldn’t see much but still cool!
