There are also many small ponds and many canals flowing down from Doi Luang Mountain and connecting to each other. This makes this river plain very fertile and has been settled in communities since ancient times. #MissingNature #SecretLocation #RecommendDeliciousRestaurant

🌱 Doi Luang National Park, Doi Nok, Phayao Province, is 1,694 meters above sea level. 🌱 The distance from the starting point to the tent site is approximately 9 kilometers. There are 2 ways to go up the mountain: walk up via Phayao Province or walk up via Lampang Province. Both routes are equally steep. 🌱 We chose to go up via Phayao Province. During the walk up the mountain, we encountered slippery, steep, and dangerous paths along the way. 🌱 For example, walking up Moo Mae Dong, this hill is quite brutal. Walking on normal feet is already difficult, but we have to use our other 2 hands to push ourselves up to the top. And that's not all. Before we reach our tent site, we will encounter the last extremely brutal hill, the Stairway to Heaven. In my opinion, this hill is not as steep as the first one, but it is longer. It was considered to have exhausted all the energy of Khao Tom Mat. 🌱 When the sun of the new day shone with a light drizzle, we started packing up the tents and getting ready to go to the top of Doi Nok and walk back. 🌱 On this second day, we walked very hard, about 13-14 kilometers (I must say it was really hard). 🌱 We walked to pay homage to Phra That Doi Nok, the mountain of faith, a round trip distance of about 6 kilometers. The top is about 1,100 meters above sea level (not sure). The top on the day we went was mostly covered in fog because it had just rained earlier. 🌱 After we were up there for a while, we hurried back because there was another 8 kilometers to walk down. It might be dark and dangerous if we returned later. 🌱 When we reached the way back to the pickup point, we saw the path and were discouraged because the path was full of mud and slippery soil. In conclusion, it took us almost 6 hours to walk down the 8 kilometers. The sunlight was getting dark while we were walking in the forest, but in the darkness, there was still the light of the officers. The last group to come and collect the slow people like us 🌱 Let me tell you, I'm tired and very hungry. Sister Moe Win the whole way. Whoever reviews this place, it's easy to walk. Not really 🌱 But we can assure you that no matter where you walk, from the first day to the last day, during the walk, no matter how tired you are, the view along the way will make you enjoy it all the way. #National park worth visiting #Doi Luang Doi Nok Phayao National Park #thetabibuddies #Phayao Thank you to everyone who came to follow us.

Wat Pra That Chiang Kham Place type: Temple-Tourism-Meditation place Address: Chiang Kham District, Phayao Province This temple is built on a mountain. You can see the view of Chiang Kham District very well. This temple is a sacred temple that the people of Chiang Kham, Phayao Province, highly respect and pray for because this temple is located on a high mountain. You can see the view of the entire Chiang Kham District very well. The distance from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain if driving is 8 kilometers, but you will see that there are stairs that you can walk straight from the temple down to the ground. This is a bit shorter, less than 8 kilometers, but it is tiring to walk. Let's look at the temple church. It is gold, reflecting the sunlight very beautifully. This temple is in the Lanna style. There is a chedi in the northern style. When you go, you will feel calm and peaceful. If you have a chance to come to Chiang Kham, don't forget to stop by. #FatAnneCheckInPhayao #kennyannejourney 🙏🌿👌🏞️ #templeblessed#VisitHistoricalSite #NorthIsanTeam#MissingTheForestAndMountains#NatureTherapy

Lake Phayao isn’t on the normal tourist trail but it’s well worth a stop. It’s the largest lake in northern Thailand and famously has a sunken temple. Phayao was very different, large empty roads, plenty of restaurants, no tourists. We ran and walked on beautiful bike paths around the lake, enjoyed sunsets and sunrises and wondered why nobody comes here. It was a slice of real Thailand and would make an excellent digital nomad base. You can get to Phayao by bus from Chiang Mai, by car it took us around 4 hours or it makes a good stop if you’re driving up from the south. #historicculture#beautifulsunsets#nationalpark#roadtrip#naturalwonders#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

“I can’t do it, I have to force myself🤭“ This phrase best describes this trip because the route to “Doi Luang-Doi Nok” is considered one of the challenging hiking trails. But the view from the top is worth every step! This is a perfect way to end the year-end trip of 2024 for me. It was a very worthwhile 2 days and 1 night, both tiring but fun. Doi Luang-Doi Nok is located in Doi Luang National Park, Phayao Province, at an altitude of 1,694 meters above sea level. It takes about 10 kilometers to reach the tent site. The distance is quite steep, mostly uphill, but there is still some flat roads to catch your breath. My friends and I traveled for about 5 hours. (Very tiring) and had to carry our own stuff because there are only a limited number of porters here. But luckily, the sunrise and sunset viewing point is nearby. The tent site means we don’t have to walk far. Day 2: Conquer the summit of Doi Nok We headed to the highest point of “Doi Nok”, which has a large, distinctive rock. Climbing up requires a lot of willpower and leg strength, but when we reached the top… it was amazing! Panorama The widest view, the morning light hitting the mountain makes all the tiredness disappear in the blink of an eye. Ready to worship and pray to the Buddha to the fullest. On the way back, it is all downhill, no uphill. Prepare everyone's nails Be ready 😆😅 Facilities - There is a water source, porters will scoop it for you - There is a mobile phone signal - There is a bathroom Advice - The path is quite brutal, it is recommended to be physically fit. - The path is quite grassy, ​​the trees are tall and sharp, you may get cut. It is recommended to wear a long-sleeved shirt. - Pack your bag well because there are no porters, we have to carry it ourselves. - Prepare food, snacks, and medicine. - There will be a certificate after going down the mountain. 🏆 📌 If you like challenges, want to experience the charm of the mountains and nature, Doi Luang-Doi Nok is a place you have to go at least once! 🏕️ This trip, I went with Khukfun Tour. It was great, very impressive. #DoiLuangDoiNok #Hiking2Days1Night #TravelReview #KhukfunTour #Phayao #HikingThailand #Hiking #MeetUpWithFriends #Doi Luang Phayao #Doi Nok #Get discounts without relying on luck
