On the morning of November 10, clear skies returned to Doi Inthanon and Kew Mae Pan in Chiang Mai following days of rain, creating a scenic sunrise over dense fog and temperatures dropping to 8°C on the summit and 10°C at the viewpoint. Approximately 2,000 Thai and international tourists visited, with numbers expected to rise over the weekend. Park officials report optimal conditions, especially for trekking routes, including the Ang Ka Luang trail, a nature walk known for its cloud-covered rainforest filled with moss-draped trees and rare wildlife.

Highlights include the blooming season of the red "thousand-year rose" from January to February and winter bird sightings, with species such as the green-tailed sunbird and the chestnut-tailed minla appearing in the area. For those seeking longer hikes, the Kew Mae Pan trail offers views of fog-covered mountains over a 3-kilometer trek.

In Chiang Mai city, temperatures dropped to 19°C, leading residents to purchase winter clothing as they prepare for the cool season. Tourist arrivals have notably increased, with hotel bookings in the Old Town area averaging 90% occupancy. Chiang Mai Airport has seen a surge in traffic, with nearly 31,600 passengers per day, up from 26,000, and daily flights now at 200, likely due to the upcoming Yi Peng Lantern Festival on November 13.
