Wat Doi Pha Tang, a temple in Chiang Rai
Location: Wat Doi Pha Tang, Chiang Rai
Atmosphere: Stop by on your way back from Phu Chi Fa and Doi Pha Tang. It's a small temple, but it offers a very beautiful viewpoint with great photo spots. The road up and down is very steep and narrow, so be careful. Come to make merit and pay respects to the Buddha before or after your trip for a safe journey. Sathu.

#WinterTravel
Place: Chiang Rai sea of mist viewing point at Phu Chi Fa
Atmosphere: One of the most beautiful views in Chiang Rai. The mountain peak is very beautiful. Come early in the morning, which the weather is unpredictable. The weather is windy and cloudy. The hiking time is not long, about 20 minutes. Suitable for beginners, even families with young children. The mountain peak is not very crowded and there are only a few beautiful photo spots. You can see a 360-degree view and the sign of the border between Laos and Thailand.

Watershed Management Ngao - Ngao, Chiang Rai
Atmosphere: Beautiful flower scenery, Thai Cherry Blossoms, pink flowers or Thai Sakura. The road up is slightly steep, drive slowly. During winter, this place is worth visiting and taking pictures with the Thai Cherry Blossoms. There are many trees and they bloom beautifully.

Location: Banpot Wittaya School
Banpot Wittaya School (Cherry Blossoms)
Atmosphere: During the blooming of the Himalayan cherry blossoms, Banpot Wittaya School is another popular place to come and see the beauty of the Himalayan cherry blossoms. They are blooming all over the school, very beautiful. But when I went, they were just starting to bloom, so there weren't many flowers yet. What a shame.

🌫 A SEA OF MIST 🌫
A glimpse of the sea of mist at Phu Chi Fa 🌤🌿🍃🛵
A hidden jewel in Northern Thailand, near the Laos border, is home to one of the most stunning sunrises you'll ever witness. It's named Phu Chi Fah (), and while it's well-known among Thai visitors to Chiang Rai, it's still relatively unknown to most international visitors. That's all the more reason to put it on your to-do list!
The name Phu Chi Fah literally means "mountain that points to the sky," and it's easy to see why. Just look at the silhouette it creates against the morning light. But that isn't even the most exciting aspect. It's like standing on top of the globe once you've reached the summit.
We landed at Phu Chi Fah the night before for this excursion and awoke in the wee hours of the morning (as in 5 am early). It's critical to get at the lookout before the sun sets over the horizon, but we were rewarded with a spectacular daybreak. We stood there watching as the sun's warm light poured through the mists that blanketed the mountains below, showing only Laos' jungle-covered summits.

Chiang Rai trip continues with a beautiful flower festival
This trip, we woke up at 3 am. We drove our family from home at 5:30 am and arrived at Phu Chi Fa at almost 7 am. 😅 When we arrived, the view was worth millions. It was very beautiful. As for the atmosphere, there is no need to talk about it. It was very beautiful and the weather was very cold. There were a lot of people camping and setting up tents. The resort was beautiful. At 9 am, we went to Doi Pha Tang or the gate of heaven. Phu Chi Fa was already beautiful. When we went to Doi Pha Tang, it was very beautiful. 😱😱❤️ Near noon, we went to the beautiful flower festival in Chiang Rai. It was very beautiful. #Missing nature #Missing nature #Beautiful accommodations throughout Thailand

Phu Chi Fa National Park
Phu Chi Fa, Chiang Rai Province

The forest park area is a high peak in the Doi Pha Mon mountain range, on the border of Thailand and Laos. It is a long cliff along the border. The tip of the cliff is pointed like a finger pointing into the air, which is the origin of the name "Phu Chi Fa". The bottom of the cliff is a valley.

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #PhuChiFa #PhuChiFaChiangRai #SeaofMist
This winter, the cold weather is very long. AG did not hesitate to organize a trip up north to Chiang Rai Province. The destination that we must go to is Phu Chi Fa.
AG booked a resort before reaching Phu Chi Fa National Park and booked a car with the resort to go up to Phu Chi Fa National Park. The car we went to was at 5:00 AM. When we arrived at the parking lot, we had to get out of the car and walk up to the top of the mountain. The route is about 700 meters (the route is rough and steep, so prepare shoes, clothes, and a place to rest). But what I like here is that along the way, there are 2-3 places to sit and rest or places where you can see the sea of mist. This is a service for those who cannot walk up to the top of the mountain.
When we walked up to the top of Phu Chi Fa, the view in front of us was very beautiful. The mountain range in front of us started to have a sea of mist rising more and more. And the sun gradually appeared until it was full. The light shone beautifully amidst the sea of mist. I received good energy. It was worth the effort.
Phu Chi Fa Forest Park
#getgoing2025
Phu Chi Fa Forest Park
Located high in the mountains near the Laos border, Phu Chi Fa offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and mountains, especially at sunrise. The park is a popular destination for camping and hiking, with several trails leading to viewpoints and waterfalls. The name "Phu Chi Fa" translates to "mountain pointing to the sky," reflecting the dramatic landscape. The park is a great place to escape the crowds and experience the natural beauty of northern Thailand.
Doi Pha Tang Review: A romantic sunset view
#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck
When it comes to must-see viewpoints in Chiang Rai, Doi Pha Tang is definitely on the list! It is about 100 kilometers from Chiang Rai city, located in Wiang Kaen District, an area on the Thai-Laos border where you can see a full view of Luang Prabang Mountain.
The highlight is the 1-hour hike up the mountain to the top. This is where the sunset is so stunning! We went in November, the weather was nice and cool, and the view from the top was worth the climb.
Tips:
• Wear sturdy shoes because some areas are slippery.
• Prepare a camera to capture the awesome moments.
Don't miss out, nature lovers!

That's it, folks! Just this much is already amazing. You can travel in just one day. If you have more time, 💖go sleep at Phu Chi Fa. Climb up to the top of Phu Chi Fa to see the sea of fog. There's nothing better than letting yourself go and relaxing on the mountain top. It's even more fantastic when there are fewer people around.

The sea at Mo Pha Tang is extremely magnificent.
Once at Pha Tang, Chiang Rai Province, traveling from Chiang Khong up, you can easily walk up to see the sea of fog.
Doi Pha Tang actually has 3 hills: 102, 103, 104.
The easy point to walk to is hill 102, 103, which is a very beautiful viewpoint. But hill 103 is a bit far, but it's okay.
As for hill 104, you have to rent a car to go up, the price is 600 baht. We didn't go.
Actually, hills 102-103, looking at the map, are on the Lao side. The sea of fog comes from the Mekong River on the Lao side.
And go up to the community no later than 6 am so it's not too hot.
The day we went, there weren't many people.
Along the way, there is a viewpoint. The bus stop is also beautiful.
If anyone has been there, please come and share with us. 😃

A circle at Phu Chi Fa National Park
In this cold weather, we would like to suggest
a trip to Phu Chi Fa National Park. This is a tourist attraction that is open for visitors all year round. If we go during the rainy season, it would be great because this place is famous for being a tourist attraction during the rainy season. Tourists can walk up to the top of the mountain by themselves without a guide. The wind is strong up there, but the air is cool and comfortable. If you don't have a place to visit during the rainy season, we recommend that you try to visit here at least once!

Come visit the North at Phu Chi Fa ⛅️⛰️ Chiang Rai Province.
#Natural attractions #Chiang Rai travel Today, I'm taking my friends to travel up north in Chiang Rai Province at "Phu Chi Fa National Park".
Phu Chi Fa is another very beautiful natural tourist attraction in Chiang Rai Province. Anyone who visits Chiang Rai should stop by at least once. It's so beautiful and worth the drive.
Phu Chi Fa is a mountain peak located on the Thai-Laos border in Thoeng District. The peak is about 1,442 meters above sea level. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Chiang Rai city.
The day I went, I was very lucky. The weather was nice (cold), there was a sea of fog, and the sky was clear. ⛅️ It was a pleasant walk and I took beautiful pictures. The view from up there was incredibly beautiful. It was so awesome.
🚗 Travel: For those who drive, I recommend choosing a good route. Even if the map shows another route that is closer, Don't take the risk because it's very steep. On the way back, we were careless and thought nothing was wrong, but it was very steep. The brakes were so bad that we had to stop and rest every now and then.
- On the way from Chiang Rai to Thoeng District, take route 1020. When you reach Thoeng District, go straight on route 1021. Then, when you reach the intersection, take route 1155 and then route 1093.
- On the way back, no comment at all. I don't dare recommend it because we went the wrong way. The brakes were so bad that they were about to burn.🥹
💞Additional advice:
- If you're going to watch the sunrise or in the morning, it's better to stay nearby. If you're staying in the city, you have to leave at 4 a.m. to make it on time. But some parts of the road are dark and quite steep, which is a bit scary.
- Prepare some extra legs. The distance from the parking lot to the top of the mountain is not very far, but it's still a bit tiring. But luckily, we went when the weather was cold, so we could walk leisurely, stop to see the view, and take pictures. It didn't take long to get there.
⛅️Visit Phu Chi Dao and see the sea of fog in the morning in Chiang Rai Province.
Name: Phu Chee Dao
⛰️Phu Chee Dao is now open for climbing. Go see the sea of fog in the morning. It is a top tourist attraction in Chiang Rai. During the rainy-winter season, there will be a lot of fog. It is beautiful. I must say that it is worth it. Stay at a homestay nearby. In the early morning, there will be a car to pick us up to see the sea of fog. The price is 100 baht per person. The temperature will be around 17-20 degrees. You have to walk up about 200 meters to the top. I do not recommend driving up to the top yourself because the road is very rough. The road requires a lot of expertise. Don't forget to bring water to sip on the way up.
The wind at the top is very strong because it is high up. Everyone should wear a jacket or windbreaker.
Location: Tambon Por, Amphoe Wiang Kaen, Chiang Rai

✨VisitChiangRai and enjoy the winter breeze on the highest mountain at “PhuChiFa”. The accommodation near PhuChiFa offers a panoramic view of the mountain. The mountain view is so good. Both fog and cold wind are cool all year round. We even encountered fog.
🧸We stayed in a tent for 1,9xx per night, including breakfast. There are many amenities inside, soft mattresses, private bathrooms, water heaters, sitting areas, and balcony areas to chill out and enjoy the breeze. At night, we ordered a barbecue. I have to say that it was so awesome. We sat and ate barbecue with the cold weather.
🍃There are not many accommodations. The staffs provide good service. The breakfast is delicious. The view is worth millions. There is a car service to PhuChiFa for 100฿ per person.
