Inthanon Highland Resort

Doi Inthanon National Park


A favourite with birdwatchers, this colonial-feeling resort sprawls over manicured gardens filled with towering old trees and even a small lake. It's by far the best choice of the small selection of hotels clustered at the bottom of Doi Inthanon. Low-season rates make this a great bargain.
