CHIANG MAI, 2 November 2018 (NNT) – The first frost of this year was reportedly spotted this morning on Doi Inthanon mountaintop, Thailand’s highest and one of the most famous peaks in Chiang Mai, when temperature was measured at one degree Celsius. 

It was reported that grass on the mountaintop turned white from frost due to the freezing weather. 

The Doi Inthanon national park has been opened to tourists who have flocked to the mountain peak to get a feel of the freezing weather and to watch misty sea blanketing surrounding mountains before sunrise. 

The Meteorological Department reported this morning that the temperature in the northern region for the next 24 hours would drop a further 2-4 degrees Celsius due to strong cold front from China which is still looming over the upper part of Thailand.
