    It's actually very beautiful when you see with your own eyes but when taking pictures it doesn't reflect the real beauty of it. You need to get up there very early to see the floating mists or when sun rises. There's a camping ground if you want to see that early. The road up to it is very steep and curvy along the way up so it's very dangerous to drive up especially if you drive motorcycle. ( If you follow GPS which always guide you to shortest route) . I was really scared to drive up and keep squeezing the breaks as it was just so steep. Accident can surely happen easily especially during raining season. however there's s safer route up from Toung District but it's much longer so make sure to do your own research with the safer route.

    This is a nice view for sun rise. Not as many international tourist as I think. Mostly just the local. Follow me in Instagram: Paoleestudio

    Such a nice place! Very peaceful, we were alone when we visited! So nice to escape the crowd for a little while. We came here as a day trip from Chiang Rai, the ride is pretty smooth, just be careful during the slopes. There is public toilet before you reach the parking lot. From the parking it’s 750m to the top, but it’s kinda steep. The view is very nice, and it’s funny to know that the highest point is actually in Laos!

    We drove up from Chiang mai to see the sunrise on the summit the next day. Absolutely breath taking, highly recommended

    It was very cloudy, and we cannot catch the sun rise. But it it is quite an easy climb up from the base camp (about 780m). Never wear sports shoes, as my climb buddy kept sliding and landing on his bottom. Near the peak, the climb can be a little bit hard. In July, it is cloudy, best time to visit according to local was in December. At the peak, Thailand and Laos are bordering one another! You do not need passport to cross over either side of the country (Joke).

    Sadly the haze actually was such a huge disappointment for us but the view at the mountain top was truly amazing. A bit of a tough climb for us due to the smoke that we have to inhale but luckily it wasn't that high.

    Great view for sunrise here. It’s a short steep drive up to the carpark and from there, it’s a 760m walk to the viewpoint. The walk up is no too difficult, but the road could be slippery on a wet day. I took about 12 mins to reach the viewpoint. It was a bit hazy on the morning we were there, but the view is still beautiful as the sun appear on the horizon. Worth the trip here

    One of the best view - a beautiful sunrise👍 It was quite dark while trekking up.

  • 5/5 Elise L. 1 year ago on Google
    The sunrise is beyond words. Hike is easy; took us less than 40mins.

    Perfect view of sunrise and the ocean of clouds below.

  • 5/5 David V. 3 months ago on Google New
    We arrived about 6am. It was still dark. The sunrise was about 6.50am. It was an amazing experience to watch the sun rise above the clouds. Well worth doing once. It was really cold. Wear many layers of warm clothes.

👍👍 Amazing views.⛰ come early in the morning (arrive by 5:45 and then trek up to the peak) so you get to see the sun rise and enjoy the spectacular view of the sea of fog over the valleys between the mountain peaks. Around 7am the spectacle is pretty much over and everyone’s headed down. But it’s wort...

😠 Burned out by the fire arsonists. Terrible place, very smokey air. Dangerous to breathe, extreme hazard. Used to be nice, but the government allowed people to burn every year and destroyed it.
