There were 4 stations to walk but the routes we did were station 101, 102 and 103. The station 104 is on the other side but we needed to leave town the same day so we didn’t visit. The track is so easy even for non-fitness person like me. You can see cloud all over the surrounded mountains and once the sun came up, it’s sooooooo stunning! We decided to see sunrise at station 102 and kept walking to station 103 after sunrise. You will keep seeing very good view all the way up to the station 103. If you already visited Phu Chi Fa, spend another night to visit Doi Pha Tang. Much less tourists, easy to walk and super beautiful views! We rented a car from Chiang Rai and drove up to the visit Phu Chi Fah, Phu Chi Doen, Phu Chi Dao and also Doi Pha Tang. Make sure you are good with driving in different lanes and mountains road and sharp curves.

This is one of my favorite place in Chaingrai province because of the great service, healthy food and fresh atmosphere you even cannot find in any places in Thailand. Not only above i mentioned but also has a lot of activities to do with your family, friend or who you come with. Besides there is the souvenir, cafe zone, room and camp service to serve you all. Do not forget to add this travel place in your trip lists.

Worth a trip. It’s breathtaking . Im lucky enough to see the sunrise on early January .you’ll see the sea of fogs, some Hmong kids dancing en route when we climb up the peak, everything is epic. It’s windy and cool up there. I offer some tips for people who’re staying in Chiang rai and don’t mind to spend a lil and wanting an easy trip (save time )to phu chi fa, you can actually get some agency along the city in Chiang rai offering a trip from your hotel to the hiking point, around 3000 baht ,then you’ll just take a 20-30 minutes hike up to phu chi fa.

The White Temple looks amazing the detail on the Temple buildings is incredible and there is a lot of modern themes in the paintings and sculptures in the complex the ablution building is an art piece on its own it’s painted gold as a contrast to the white.The White Temple is definitely one of a kind and if you have the chance to get there you’ll be rewarded with something that you have never seen before

Great hike for any outdoorsy type or seasoned hiker, it is an easy ramble. I am 62 and did not have a problem, and I am getting fat and lazy. But for the rest of us…It is still a 1400m hike up hill or 1.4 Kilometer and a round trip of say 3 kilometers! And it gets steep at times…You might need both hands and feet to navigate the more difficult areas. I had a few people that wanted to turn back and met a family from India that were struggling, I encourage them on with only 500m to go. Still, it is well worth the pain, and there is no danger. The treat at the end when you arrive at the falls is a swim and shower. With COVID you may very well have the place to yourselves………………
