What you pay at Doi Inthanon

The park fee does not cover your vehicle. A 4-wheel car pays THB 30 and a motorcycle THB 20. Doi Inthanon is not among the five parks with a special service charge, so the Group 3 rate is the one to plan around. For other parks, see Thailand national park fees for foreigners.

Pay in the app or at the gate

Doi Inthanon is one of six parks in the QueQ e-ticket pilot. The app takes debit cards, credit cards, cross-bank bill payment and PromptPay. Show the QR code to the officer as proof of payment.

Who it suits (and who should skip it)

  • Cool-air seekers: it is cool all year, with fog and early-morning frost flowers in the cool season.
  • Waterfall and pagoda fans: the park has the Mae Klang, Wachirathan, Siriphum and Mae Ya waterfalls, plus two Great Holy Relics Pagodas.
  • Trail walkers: the Kew Mae Pan and Ang Ka nature trails are on the park’s list, but Kew Mae Pan is closed until 31 October.
