After a serene night at the Elephant Friends Sanctuary, we proceed further up the Inthanon Mountain ranges to ascend steep steps finding the Giant Buddha who overlooks the valley below. Refreshments and buckets of fruit follow at a Hill Tribe Market outside the Chiang Mai Royal Agricultural Research Centre followed by a caffine shot at Coffee Inthanon local "resort". At Doi Inthanon we are rewarded like royalty at the Royal Pagodas. Truly, not a regular tour seen by foreign visitors, as we spend our days and night with the locals of the highlands.
