Doi Inthanon: Thailand's highest mountain, Doi Inthanon (located in Chiang Mai Province) got its name in the honour of Chiang Mai kingdom's last king who tried to preserve the mountain's watershed forests. The place is established as a National Park which offers scenic natural beauty, cool weather, enchanting waterfalls and bird life. When the temperature falls, the entire site gets filled with mist and looks absolutely stunning.

Doi Tung: Located close to the Thailand-Myanmar border, Doi Tung is referred to as the "Switzerland of Thailand" by the local people. This gorgeous mountain-top destination is filled with deciduous forest and surrounded by tribal villages including Akha, Shan, Tai Lue, Lawa and Lahu.

Phu Khao Ya: Phu Khao Ya (means "Grass Hill"), located at a distance of 12 km from Mueang Ranong Municipality, is a significant hill station as it is a geographical anomaly.
