Doi Inthanon, Thailand (December 2018)

After we returned to Chiang Mai, we made another trip to Doi Inthanon National Park. Doi means Mountain in Thai. Inthanon is the name for one of the Thai Kings. Doi Inthanon is the tallest mountain in Thailand at the altitude of 2,565 meter high.


We visited the Stupas built for the King and the Queen when they became 60 years of age 1987 and 1992, respectively. The dark color stupa is for the late King Rama IX and the light color one is for the Queen. 








Thai Royal Air Force built them.



The actual summit was a bit higher than the stupas for the King and the Queen.




There are four waterfalls in the Doi Intanon National Park. We visited the largest one called Wachirathan Waterfall. The scale was pretty big and it was beautiful.




After we returned home, we went out to eat our dinner at Ohkhaju, an organic restaurant. As always, the foods were nice, fresh and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the last supper with Joyce.





Joyce took a ride of my scooter and it was her first ride. I am not sure if she will ever ride it again, but I am sure it was fun for her. 


Both Kristin and I were grateful for her presence and the 2-week time we spent with her over Christmas time. - Jeffrey
