🇹🇭 'Pha Cho', a must-see tourist attraction in Chiang Mai

‘Pha Cho’ is located in Mae Wang National Park. It was formed by geological changes. Thousands of years ago, the Ping River’s path changed direction, causing sediments to form in layers, with beautiful patterns and large sizes. When you arrive at the park, if you stop by the tourist service point, you can stamp your park passport. There are also officers who will recommend routes for those who have never been there. The nature study trail of Pha Cho is about 500 meters. For us, we don’t think it’s difficult because it’s mostly flat. There are some stairs that you have to walk up, but not too many. Pha Cho has two viewing points: the top and the bottom. From the top, you can see the whole of Pha Cho. From the bottom, you can see the grandeur and beauty of nature. Opening hours: 08.30 - 16.30 Advice ▪️We recommend wearing shoes that are quite comfortable. You can wear sneakers because most of the path is uneven rocks. There are some cement ones, but they’re not that smooth. ▪️The distance is quite short and easy. If you’re not someone who gets thirsty easily, you don’t have to bring a water bottle (we brought one and didn’t really sip it). ▪️Come in the morning when there are fewer people, so you don’t have to wait in line to take pictures. Plus the weather is cool. Parking There are 3 parking spots at Pha Cho. Spots 1 and 2 are close to each other. You can walk to the viewpoint and get off to Pha Cho. However, the staff recommended parking at spot 3, which is a bit further because the path to Pha Cho is flat, so you won't get too tired. How to go ▪️We rented a car from Grand Car Rental to drop off at the Nakhonchaiair bus station and pick up the car at our accommodation (the shop is very cute. If you're visiting Chiang Mai and want to rent a car, we recommend this shop). Accommodation ▪️B Innspire Hotel, accommodation near Chang Phuak Night Market, with private bathroom and balcony where you can sit and enjoy the city view. All amenities are provided. However, if you're driving or renting a car for several days, you must inform the accommodation in advance because there is very little parking.
