Doi Luang Chiang Dao
Doi Luang Chiang Dao is Thailand’s third-highest limestone mountain, rising 2,175 metres above sea level. Located within the Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary, the mountain is known for its rich biodiversity, rare plants and wildlife, and its long-standing spiritual importance to local communities. Today, the surrounding area is also recognised as part of the UNESCO-designated Doi Chiang Dao Biosphere Reserve.
Chiang Dao Cave
Located at the foot of Doi Luang Chiang Dao, Chiang Dao Cave is a vast limestone cave filled with stalactites, stalagmites, chambers, sacred Buddha images, and local shrines. The cave is closely connected to local beliefs and legends, including stories of Nagas guarding its hidden depths. Its cool, peaceful atmosphere makes it a fascinating place to discover both the natural and spiritual heritage of Chiang Dao.

Discover the traditions and ways of life of ethnic communities in the mountain areas of Chiang Dao. Learn about traditional farming, hand weaving, handicrafts, distinctive clothing, and everyday village life.
