Welcome to Chom Thong, Thailand, where the scenery is as stunning as your attempts to pronounce its name correctly. This charming district is nestled at the foothills of Doi Inthanon, the highest peak in Thailand, so you can finally say you climbed a mountain without actually doing it. With 24 hotels available, whether you're a backpacker or a luxury seeker, there's a place for you, as long as you don't mind the occasional mosquito.
Chom Thong offers an authentic slice of Thai life, complete with colorful markets and breathtaking waterfalls. Why not stay in a cozy guesthouse in the bustling town center or opt for a lush resort where the only decision you’ll have to make is poolside cocktail or spa treatment? Nearby attractions include the revered Wat Phra That Si Chom Thong, a temple that begs to be Instagrammed, and the stunning waterfalls that will have you wondering how much is too much nature.
The best time to visit is during the cool season from November to February, when the weather is almost as pleasant as your travel companions. And remember, comparing hotels on FlyDoha means you can spend less on your stay and more on that extra pad Thai you definitely don’t need but will eat anyway.
