CHIANG MAI – The First winter frost of the year can be seen at Doi Intanon, the highest mountain in Thailand, as temperatures dropped to 3 degrees Celsius.
Several mountain tops in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai have become colder as the temperatures are declining continuously. The temperature at Doi Intanon was recorded at 7 degrees Celsius in the morning.
The temperature at the popular trail ‘Kew Mae Pan’ has reportedly dropped to 3 degrees Celsius earlier today. The cold winter weather is expected to attract a large number of tourists to the province.
Winter frost can be spotted on grass in some areas of the mountain where the temperatures are below zero degree Celsius.
