The attraction of Phu Thog is the prospect of seeing the sunrise over the mountains and fog in the valleys. Unfortunately, during our rainy season visit, we saw little of either. Still, the early morning trip up the small mountain was invigorating and pleasant. During mid-year, the sun rises by 5:30 a.m., so we left our hotel at 5:00. The mountain is very close to Chiang Khan city. The local community has the site well orgainized and charges 20 baht for parking and 25 baht per person to haul people up the mountain. Due to limited parking at the summit and the challenge of the narrow, curvy access road, it makes good safety sense that this transport service is systematized by the community. Also good that they are able to earn some financial benefits from the visiting tourists. The view from the top (even without perfectly clear weather) was very enjoyable. There are several stalls selling locally made clothes and snacks at the bottom of the mountain.

The weather was very good. We went at 9:00 a.m. and the weather was still good. There weren't many people, and the wait wasn't long. But the area for taking pictures above might be a little small. But overall very good

Coming to Chiang Khan, one place that we have to think about is Phu Thok. Of course I went up. We contacted Skylab (notified in the evening) to have them pick us up. Accommodation goes up to the mountain service point. The top is as beautiful as the picture. Anyone who comes to Chiang Khan should not miss it.

View is amazing no doubt about that.
Just felt little empty after visiting phu po pa mountain. Ride up there was short and when got there just a quick photo sessions and ride back down.
Maybe better on cloudy day or at sunrise.

Beautiful view of the mountains and the Mekong river! Go early in the morning to see the fog over the mountains.
You cannot go all the way to the mountains with your own car. You can buy tickets for transport which will bring you to the top of the mountain.

If you go to Chiang Khan, Loei. You gotta visit this place in the morning.
You can ask the reception from your hotel to hire the driver.
Such a good place to visit and take photos.

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 behind the apposite mountains. The mist is below us and form a nice cloud of sea. By 6.30+, the round red dot start rising and the view is amazing.
You have 360 deg view from the peak. One side facing Mekong River and Chang Khan town.

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.

Must see if you're in the area! Best time to visit is before sunrise. The view is unique and breathtaking. Seriously, you have to see it. Parked your car and take the local pickup truck to the top. On the way down, there are local food shops just in time for breakfast. If you have a professional camera, bring it with you and you won't regret anything. The place can be very crowded during high season but still worth it.

To fully appreciate that site must go very early morning ,
I choose my weapon of choice for go to the top on bicycle (personal road bike )
have public taxi at the bottom of hill that will bring you for 25 thb x 1 pax
the climb is very steep ( 15%+ ) and 2 Km long
At the top in early morning you will have a 180 View of all the area with the morning mist .
