Doi Inthanon, or well-known as Doi Inthanon National Park, is the highest mountain in Thailand and which was also known in the past as Doi Luang (meaning big mountain) or Doi Ang Ka, meaning the crow’s pond top.
Near the mountain’s base was a pond where many crows gathered. The name Doi Inthanon was given in honour of the king Inthawichayanon, one of the last kings of Chiang Mai, who was concerned about the forests in the north and tried to preserve them. He ordered that after his death his remains shall be placed at Doi Luang, which was then renamed.
