Unseen Mountain Scenery at Doi Pha Hom Pok, Chaing Mai

Hi friends,

 

Doi Pha Hom Pok

Good to see everybody again and today i will continue telling the story about outstanding mountain in Chaing Mai.

 

Generally, Chiang Mai is very popular in its scenery of mountain as there’re many wonderful  "Doi" (mountain in local northern language) located around the area of this province.  Today, i’m gonna tell you about one of the most outstanding natural places that you can’t miss when visiting Chaing Mai as this natural site called “Doi Pha Hom Pok”

 

Doi Pha Hom Pok is the 2nd highest mountain in Thailand located in Fang District. In order to reach to the camping site of this mountain, you have to drive 4 wheels car due to the pathway to the camping site is quite hilly and steep as it is really hard to travel this mountain without 4 wheels car. Don't worry if you don’t have your own 4 wheels car because you can hire local drivers with their own  4 wheels car available at the Office of Fang National Park at the rate of 1,500-2,000 baht.

The distance between Fang National Park to Doi Pha Hom Pok camping site is approximately 1 hour as the camping site has been developed by the Fang National Park, therefore, the camping site is very convenient for travellers including clean bathroom and toilet. Moreover, camping tent is available for you to hire at cheap price as well.

 

The most favorite activity in Doi Pha Hom Pok that you can't miss is “walking to the top of this mountain” as you will have a chance to see the scenery of beautiful sunrise contrast with mountain view and cloud. You may need around 2.30-3 hours for trekking to the top, therefore, you have to begin your journey from the camping site around 3.00-3.30 AM. I recommend to you that you have to bring your flashlight because the pathway is very dim and dark and it is also recommend that you should make appointment with the natural park officer or the local driver who will lead you to the summit point because you may get loss in the forest if you don't know the right way.

After 3 hours of walking in the forest,  you will arrive at the top of Doi Pha Hom Pok, the 2nd highest mountain in Thailand. The sea of fog contrast with the sunrise is the scenery that you will discover at this point and you can't miss to take photo with the "2nd Highest Mountain in Thailand wooden Board".

 

The viewpointt of this mountain is one of the most gorgeous place that i’ve ever seen.  Furthermore, Doi Pha Hom is also outstanding place for Bird Watcher as you may discover rare breed of bird residing in this area, then, if you're Bird Watcher, this place is recommend for you.

Hello Friends,

In my last post, i just introduce this new blog about Chaing Mai, nice city in the northern region of Thailand, to all of you, then, today i'm gonna start expressing story about one of Chaing Mai famous mountain and the mountain that i talk about named "Doi Ang Klang".

Doi Ang Klang situatated in Fang district, northern district near Myanmar border and the distance from the Chaing Mai city center is approximately 137 kilometers. This beautiful mountain is known as one of the most coldest place in Thailand as the temperature will below 10C in the winter, therefore, many Thai travellers would like to experience such cold weather at this site. Doi Ang Klang is not only famous in its fantastic mountain scenery but also outstanding in its tough and slant road which is the one of the great lesson for drivers to test.

At the summit point of the mountain, there're 2-3 sites available for camping as the camping site is very convenience because there're bathroom and rest room available for you. However, if you want more comfortable, you can also book your room at the Angklang Nature Resort as well. In the evening, most tourists are now waiting to see the scenenery of the beautiful sunset which is very fascinating for me. You will discover the gorgous scenery of mountain together at the viewpoint of Doi Angklang.

The next morning, i plan to visit other favorite site of Doi Ang Klang that you can't miss. This site  called "Royal Agricultural Station AngKlang". You will have a chance to discover flowers and plants that usually grow in the western countries like maple, tulip and many more cold weather flowers. One thing that i recommend is you can't miss to taste flesh kiwi grow in this station because the kiwi is very delicious and very cheap. Also, other fruits like strawberry and grape are available for you with affordable price as well.

At last, i would like to say that Doi Ang Klang is amazing place for travellers because you will have a chance to experience cold weather, see beautiful scenery of mountain and taste flesh fruits. However, i recommend that it will be better for you to hire for local drivers to bring you to the summit point of doi Angklang because the road to the top of Doi Ang Klang is very danger for rookie drivers.

Thank for reading my post. See You Next Time.
