Ang Ka Luang

This trail was planned and designed by Michael MacMilan Walls, a Canadian zoologist and regular volunteer at Doi Inthanon National Park. The path is a boardwalk loop of around 360 metres, running through high-altitude bog near the summit of Doi Inthanon — Thailand’s highest peak. The notable points are the area’s evergreen hills with warm and tropical climate plant life, the accumulation of algae, moss and other organic matter on the tree branches and trunks and the appearance of Sphagnum Moss, a type of moss which thrives in balanced, abundant conditions at heights of over 2,000 metres obove sea level and requires cool, moist conditions to grow.
