A sky-high mountain that no one wants to conquer
Hello, the third highest mountain in Thailand. After being closed for a year due to forest fires, "Doi Luang Chiang Dao" is a mountain that many people dream of conquering at least once in their lives. There are many reasons why it is difficult to get here. Traveling, booking, and limiting the number of people to climb because this mountain is much more fragile than other mountains. There are rare plants and flowers that can only be found on this mountain, protected wildlife, and riding a 4X4 on a dirt road for more than 1.5 hours and then walking for another 8.5 kilometers.

Talking about the weather, it is very cold. So cold that the temperature is 0 degrees. Yes!!! It's really zero degrees. I woke up with my head soaked until it was ice. But no matter how cold, rainy, or hot it is, people still book and are eager to go to this mountain.

⛰After venting my feelings, let's learn some facts.
Doi Luang Chiang Dao is 2,225 meters above sea level. It is considered the third highest peak in the country, after Doi Inthanon (2,565 meters) and Doi Pha Hom Pok (2,288 meters), but this is the highest limestone mountain in the country. To be precise, Doi Luang Chiang Dao is the highest peak that must be reached by foot.
Doi Luang Chiang Dao is shaped like a horseshoe. Those who like convenience and do not want to travel far may give up from the beginning because the distance of 8,500 meters from Khun Huai Mae Kok Forest Protection Unit (Den Ya Khat) is quite far and quite tiring. Especially if the goal is to conquer the peak alone, forgetting the highlights along the way, the fatigue will be multiplied many times over.
Another charm of Doi Luang Chiang Dao is the “plants”. In addition to the dry dipterocarp forest, mixed deciduous forest, pine forest, dry evergreen forest, and hill evergreen forest, Doi Luang Chiang Dao also has a high mountain scrub forest community (semi-alpine forest), which is only found here in Thailand.
