Taking a Trip to Mountain of Chiang Mai for Winter Time

From November onwards to February, it's when the cooling breeze of the Northern region of Thailand draw a great flock of tourists to take a trip to mountain and observe the beauty of nature.

The place is rather quiet and suited for everyone especially those who want to get away from city life with only a short hop and still need convenience for the trip.

Doi Mon Jong
Located in Om Koi, Chiang Mai, the mountain is ranked as one of the top 5 highest mountain of northern Thailand.
