and most certainly they need a certificate of residence from immigration so need a permanent address, you have a TM30 already?

@Phil *****

good suggestion

@Michelle ********

money is king! In 30 years if travelling here I never been left in the middle of nowhere.

So you have a minivan to the entrance, message and ask them how much to your hotel or can they call someone.

Alternatively contact the hotel and ask if a driver can collect you. Walking maybe an option if you are dropped nearby?

@Phil *****

the OP is asking about a visa for 3 to 6 month visit

@Phil *****

that's a 5 year visa to come as a digital nomad worker or on medical grounds, go to boxing or cookery classes, not for a holiday

@Martin ********

yes I would agree on this, Layer office etc certainly can process anything but have high overheads and many staff. My agent has no office, works from home but even collect you with her car or pay the taxi to meet up, that one to one service for me is the best

Can you go to Doi Inthanon without a guide?

Doi Inthanon's hiking trails allow you to do just that. While shorter trails can be accessed on foot by yourself, longer trails, like the Kew Mae Pan Nature Trail, can only be tackled by hiring a guide. Guides hang out at the trailhead, making themselves easy to hire.

Can you stay in Doi Inthanon National Park?

For most visitors to Doi Inthanon National Park, the highlight is hiking one of the two nature trails: Pha Dok Siew, or Kew Mae Pan. This itinerary is designed for visitors who want to hike both nature trails, and to stay overnight within the national park at Mae Klang Luang Village.

Once you have chosen a hotel you can order a taxi, maybe their own driver to go up to the park and depending the distance take their number to collect you or walk down. If on a group tour the driver may drop you there for a small fee, ask the guide, they are always very helpful

How much does it cost to enter DOI in Inthanon National Park?

300 Baht per person
