What travelers are saying

You just need to wake up at 5.00 am, start the journey at 5.30 by a local hire transportation (your guest house staff can help, please request a day before), then persue the public taxi from the based hill.

I’m stunned with a shot,,, first light with a sea of mist and sun rises... Soooo beautiful.

Park at the base of the mountain and take a pick up for 25baht (return) to the summit.

Fantastic view

To go up to the top you have to take a ride for 20baht/person as they don't allow you to drive up there. From the top the view of Chieng Khan, Khong River and Laos are fantastic. But to see the fog-covered valley you have...More

A place to view nice sun shine with only 10 mins from the town

We depart at 5.45am, reached the carpark and take the authorised pickup truck up the peak. There is a buddha at the peak (which common in Thai). We waited patiently and slowly the crowd are building up. About 6.15am can see some red light from...More

Isaan tour

Short distance outside Chiang Khan, easy drive to the tuk tuks that take you up the hill. All new SUVs so no lumps or bumps on the way up or down. Small fee, see this as a local tax, however the service was very good...More

Beautiful scenery

Breathtaking view at the summit. Park at the base of the mountain and take a pick up for 25baht (return) to the summit. At the summit take a 360 panoramic short stroll to view the picturesque Loei mountain range and fields.

If you want to see a fog closer this is the best spot for you. Best time to watch in the morning every sunrise. The fog looks like a cloud and mallows that you want to eat. Hehehe. Surely I recommend as one of your...More
