<span style="font-size: large;">"Doi ( mountain ) Chiang Dao"</span> , also known as "Doi Ang Salung" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as well as "Doi Luang Chiang Dao", located in northern Thailand in the province of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chiang Mai is actually the same stretch of mountains extended </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
from the great Himalayas. The sub-alpine species of flora and fauna of Chiang Dao</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is truly diverse. The <span style="color: blue;"><span style="color: black;">jagged peaks limestone mountain is an important</span> </span><br />
<a href="https://weather.tmd.go.th/omkoi.php" target="_blank"><span style="color: lime; font-size: large;">watershed of the Ping river</span></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with the summit stands erect close to 8,000 feet above MSL.<br />
<br />
( Remarks: The link at <a href="http://www2.tmd.go.th/radar/lmpLoop.php" target="_blank">"watershed of the Ping river"</a> above is connected to<br />
weather radar of the Thai Meteorology Deparment<br />
which shows map of northern Thailand<br />
and Chiang Mai with Chiang Dao just nearby to the north.<br />
<br />
When the radar shows echo of heavy rain clouds<br />
in the color of yellow up to red of levels of intensity of<br />
water-droplets and that if it remains there for a few days in the rainy seasons<br />
then we all can expect a lot of water in the Ping river and down south. )<br />

Anyone who has scaled the Chiang Dao summit would recognise the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
picture above right away of where she or he pitched the tents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It would also remind us of an exhausted journey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and bitter cold and humid nights but</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
full of the feeling of happiness.<br />
<br />
This can also be your trip of a great life time experience.<br />
It is not too tough for everyone.</div>

I took all these pictures when I flew pass this horse-shoe shaped sacred mountain <br />
some years ago that I hope it would be useful for us all in some ways<br />
especially, those naturalists, environmentalists, scientists, and etc.</div>
