Touch Star Resort

; r 1600-2200B; )
A step up in comfort and luxury, the
cheapest bungalows here are fairly small and rudimentary inside but have lovely little out-
side porches overlooking the extensive gardens, which are the best feature of this place.
It's well signed down a small lane off Rte 1009, just before entry into the park. Good res-
taurant serving Thai standards on-site.

Getting There & Away
Most visitors come with private transport or on a tour from Chiang Mai. You can reach the
park via public transport but be prepared for an adventure. Public transport to Chom
Thong (70B), the closest town to the park, leave from Chang Pheuak terminal and from
the Pratu Chiang Mai
sŏrng·tăaou
stop. Some buses go directly to the park's entrance gate
near Nam Tok Mae Klang, and some are bound for Hot and will drop you off in Chom
Thong.
From Chom Thong there are regular
sŏrng·tăaou
to the park's entrance gate at Nam
Tok Mae Klang (50B), about 8km north.
Sŏrng·tăaou
from the turn-off to Mae Klang, just
outside the park gates, to the summit of Doi Inthanon (100B) leave almost hourly until
late afternoon.
