Phra Mahathat Naphamethanidon

With intricate designs and decorations that are sure to impress any visitor. However, what really stood out to me were the gardens surrounding the pagoda.

The gardens are incredibly well-maintained and feature a wide variety of plants and flowers. As you walk through the gardens, you'll be surrounded by vibrant colors and sweet fragrances. It's a truly peaceful and relaxing experience, and I highly recommend taking your time to explore the different areas of the gardens.

In addition to the gardens, the Grand Pagoda Napamathanidol also offers stunning views of the surrounding area. Whether you're looking for a peaceful place to reflect or a picturesque spot for photos, this pagoda is definitely worth a visit.

An amazing complex in the Doi Inthanon National Park that you absolutely must visit!
The King and Queen pagodas are beautiful enough alone, but there are also surrounding flower gardens to walk through and enjoy.
The views from the site of the surrounding mountains and valleys can be really spectacular on clear days, but since this site is at a high altitude, many days can be cloudy.
There are escalators up to the pagodas to assist those who have mobility issues.
There are coffee shops, souvenir shops, rest rooms, and even a small market at the top.
You can pay to park your car in the parking lot at the base of the pagodas for a fee (in addition to the 100 baht entrance fee per person), or alternatively park your car for free in the adjacent lot and take a free shuttle truck into the site.
I would definitely not miss visiting this site in the National Park!!

Highly recommend going for sunrise. The two chedis open up around 6am. We got there around 6:15 and no one was there. By the time we left around 7:30 there were a few songtaws arriving and dropping people off.

We got lucky that there was no fog and a beautiful view. Others have reported it can be cloudy early in the morning

A must see if you hire a car in Chiang Mai. However, a taxi will take you there (approximately 2 hours from Chiang Mai) Unfortunately, this is the fourth time I’ve been there, and they have totally screwed the parking arrangement up, since I was up there in 2018. You used to be able to park your car right where the big tuk tuks drop you off currently. Extremely disappointing, I will not go again.
Gardens are beautiful, monuments are pretty bloody good too, if your into that sort of architecture. I was told that these two monuments, well the whole place really, were built for the previous King his wife (I was actually in Thailand when the king died 13/10/16. Unreal
Also, there now is a fee to visit this place, from memory it wasn’t much, maybe 100 baht. To get in the national park will cost 300 baht per person and 300 baht for your vehicle. Well worth it though. A few waterfalls along the way up

Very nice pagoda. A bit far from chiang mai but worth it. Great hikes too.

Escalator brings you to the pagoda of the great King Rama IX. More beautiful flowers and fogs. Also a potential place for memorial site of the great King Rama IX.

One good thing about these monuments is that there is escalator for elderly people and tired ones like me to take instead of the steps. By the way I have added photos from both monuments.

Marvellous pagodas situated on the mountain summit. Just behind the Queen’s Pagoda there’s a lovely garden with loads of flowers. So beautiful and relaxing.

The king pagoda (temples) :
Amazing atmosphere at the top the views are great and unique ,
Cool weather & clean and beautiful garden with a lot flowers and plants ,
Nice place to visit ,
plenty of parking spot out side but no problem to park the motorbikes
entrance about ~40 baht .

You have to pay a separate fee to see the king and queen Pagoda but its completely worth it. There are clear sight lines into the valley, gardens areas around each pagoda, and the inside of the pagoda has more of a modern temple look.

2 hours from Chaingmai and you can see stuning sun rise and sea of mist even in October like I saw. If you have time,walking trail is recommended.

One of the most famous tourist spots

Very beautiful, never been there before. just went for the first time

This place is very popular for tavaller is highest mountian Thailand flower so fressy

I Love This Place Because It Has Many Buddha Structure And Many Escalators Leading Up To The Building And The Place Was Very Interesting For Tourists To Visit Everytime.

Nice scene and garden.... what a relaxing place.

The best time to visit is on January

Nice trip and hard for older

Such a beautiful spot. Don't worry if it's cloudy when you get up there -- they seem to move quickly so you'll get a peek and the valleys below. Gardens are incredible. Lovely mosaics.

Beautiful views, best place to watch the sunset.
