What's Changing
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) announced that Chiang Mai's Doi Inthanon National Park was selected for the international campaign "Green Destinations Top 100 Stories 2026" through TAT's "Sustainable Tourism Prototype Products 2026 - Chiang Mai Prototype" project. Along with Doi Inthanon, 16 tourist destinations in Thailand made the Top 100 Stories list, and three locations—Koh Tao in Surat Thani, Mae Puem National Park in Phayao, and Uthai Thani Old Town—were also selected as Bronze-tier award winners. Thailand participated in this program, which evaluates environmental protection, community engagement, cultural heritage preservation, and responsible travel management performance, with support from DASTA and TAT. This is not an announcement of fee changes or new operating regulations.
Check Before You Travel
This news is not a notice of changes to existing operations but rather an award announcement recognizing Doi Inthanon as an internationally recognized sustainable tourism destination. If you're planning to visit Doi Inthanon, it's advisable to check actual operational information—such as entrance fees, opening hours, and whether trekking routes are restricted—through the Tourism Authority of Thailand (tatnews.org) and official local national park guidance just before your visit.
