Doi Luang Chiang Dao is a limestone mountain in the Chiang Dao Wildlife Reserve area, Amphoe Chiang Dao. This cone-shaped mountain is 2,195 metres from sea level, which makes it the third highest mountain in Thailand after Doi Inthanon and Doi Pha Hom Pok. Narrow plains on top of the mountain overlook spectacular views that include a sea of fog on the Amphoe Chiang Dao side, Doi Sam Phi Nong, the Chiang Dao mountain range, and the far end of Doi Inthanon. The peak is cool and windy. It is full of rare highland flowers, birds, and butterflies. Visiting Doi Chiang Dao needs an approval letter from the Director of Wildlife
Conservation Office, National Park, Wildlife and Plant Conservation Department. It must arrange at least 2 weeks before travelling.
It is the location of Chiang Dao Wildlife Sanctuary. The temperature is usually covered with fog all year round, especially in winter and rainy season. The weather is cold all year round and the rainy season is very humid. It is a source of diverse plants and many species are endemic and not found in other parts of Thailand. There are tropical, subtropical and temperate plants. Therefore, it is a place where a lot of biodiversity is found. Because it is a limestone mountain, it is part of Thanon Thongchai mountain range. It was formed in the Permian period, between 230-250 million years ago. It is the Ratchaburi Rock Group of Thailand, which was formed from the accumulation of marine sediments and animal remains with limestone.
