About this audio guide
This guide to Mae Ya Waterfall in Chiang Mai follows Prince Inthawichayanon, a nineteenth-century Chiang Mai ruler so devoted to protecting the forest on this mountain that he asked to have his ashes scattered on its peak, giving it the name Doi Inthanon. It traces how that protected watershed feeds the stepped tiers cascading in front of you, and the reputation the falls built among the country's waterfalls over the decades. Stand near the base pools to feel the mist off the rock face.
