Day two is a full-day trip, about two hours each way — leave early. Remove any stop with the cross or drag it with ≡, and add another one nearby — the times recalculate. ## Doi Inthanon: tickets and the drive National park entry is 300 baht for adults and 150 for ages 3–14, plus 30 baht for a car. The royal pagodas are a separate ticket of about 100 baht. The summit is about 100 km away, two hours by car. ## Is 2 days in Chiang Mai enough? For the city and the mountain, yes. [Wat Umong](https://yesgo.io/thailand/chiang-mai/wat-umong) with its tunnels is on the way to Doi Suthep, and [Elephant Nature Park](https://yesgo.io/thailand/chiang-mai/elephant-nature-park) is day three. In the evening, the [Night Bazaar](https://yesgo.io/thailand/chiang-mai/chiang-mai-night-bazaar). ## Tips - Bring warm layers for Doi Inthanon: it is cool and windy at the top. - Leave by 7:00 — clouds often cover the summit by lunchtime. - Temples want shoulders and knees covered — no vests or shorts; shoes come off at the door of the halls. Sarongs are often lent at the gate or for a deposit. - Thailand uses the baht (THB). Temples, markets, longtails and songthaews want cash; Grab and Bolt are the easiest taxis. - A car with driver for the day is easy to book through your hotel or Grab. ## Questions ### What to do with 2 days in Chiang Mai?
