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. 😃 #DoiPhaTang #NaturalAttractions #VisitChiangRai #SeaOfFog

Today, I'm bringing my sweetheart to Pratu Rak (Love Gate), lol. I'm playing the role of a catalyst for my parents' sweet time. Hehe. Pha Bong is a place I just had the chance to visit for the first time. It's a real eye-opener. I recommend visiting during the rainy or winter season, when the weather is cool and comfortable. There's fog all the way, and the path isn't too steep. Even my parents were able to walk comfortably. However, be careful of slipping in some spots. The view along the way is beautiful, and there are even cute little horses. It's like getting exercise with my parents, lol. My parents say that young people don't know much about this place. They tend to go to more famous places. They're more popular on social media. I recommend it to anyone passing through Wiang Kaen. #WiangKaen #ChiangRaiTravel #Travel #DadMomTakesYouToTravel
