Greetings! Today, I'm excited to review a small district that I once asked a senior about: Na Haeo, Na Haeo, Na Haeo, Na Haeo, what is it! Back then, I was a child. Now, I'm all grown up and have experienced the Isaan Sea of Mist firsthand. Let me share my story with you.

"Dั้นด้นไปขึ้นดอย" in the northern dialect of Thai translates to "climbing a mountain" in the northeastern dialect. The terms are synonymous, with the only difference being the regional variation in language.
Admire the sea of mist at Phu Pha Nong!!
Travel methods
Na Haeo district, Loei province, is located in the northeastern region of Thailand.
To get there from Bangkok, drive through Phetchabun province to Lom Sak and Lom Kao districts.
Then, continue to Dan Sai district in Loei province and finally follow route 2113 to reach Na Haeo district.
DAY 1
We stayed at "Phu Suan Sai National Park", which is located approximately 25-30 kilometers from Na Haeo District.
On the way up to the park
We have booked two accommodations: 101 Baan Phusuan Sai, which can accommodate 15 people and has 2 bathrooms, for approximately 3,000 baht.
After applying a discount, the price is reduced to around 2,000 baht.
The other accommodation is 102 Baan Kok Phaeng Ngam, which can accommodate 6 people and has 2 bathrooms.
We stayed at the Phusuan Sai house, while the Ban Kok Phaing Ngam house was only used for the bathroom, as we had booked too many rooms. We ended up sleeping together, which used up all the space.
The truth is, our friends bailed on us!
Scenic viewpoint near the residence
The accommodation was not extensively photographed. The bed was as shown in the picture, with a thick blanket, which we liked. The night air was pleasantly cool. Please note that there is no air conditioning or fan, only a hot water heater. Room reservations can be made through the park's website or by calling 094-239-2498 or 042-807616. The park staff were all very friendly and breakfast was provided. However, we did not stay for breakfast as we were planning to visit Pha Nong Kan.
This morning has passed by quickly. Some people might ask, "Didn't you go anywhere?" Or is it true that Na Khaew has nowhere to go? No, I'm here for a wedding. Today's time has been spent on my sister's wedding ceremony.
Na Haeo offers a plethora of attractions, including cafes, strawberry farms, waterfalls, the scenic Huai Ho viewpoint, and much more.
DAY 2.
The cool weather prompted us to wake up early and freshen up. Our destination: the breathtaking peak of Phu Pha Nong!
We must bid farewell to Phu Suan Sai for now and inform the staff that we will not be having breakfast. Please do not prepare any for us.
The world needs to know that we are in a better position than others...society bows its head in the vast forest.
Drive approximately 20 kilometers from the park. There will be a left turn before reaching Na Haeo District, approximately 3 kilometers away.
The sign indicates the way to Pha Nong, 1 km away. Route 2195, drive up the hill for approximately 100 meters.
Many people ask why we would go there, what is there, is there only fog? We also have it here!
These questions arise, but they cannot hold us back, simply because we give the reason that
Some places, some people see it so often that it becomes familiar, and some places, some people see it and it becomes unforgettable.
The trail to the summit offers several scenic viewpoints, including Pha Muak, which is a must-see. However, on the day we hiked, Pha Muak was reached before Pha Nong, but the fog was thick and widespread. So we continued our ascent to Pha Nong. Along the way, we took breaks to rest and help each other. The fog was dense, but the cool air made the hike less strenuous than it could have been.
This time, if I don't come to Pha Nong, I don't know when I'll be able to come again. (I definitely won't be able to answer the questions myself.)
This place, we admit, we didn't stand here for long. . . But we admit that it will stay in our hearts for a long time.
Just like this picture and this post will be a good memory for us to remember that shouting in a place with good air is this kind of happiness.
The atmosphere uses pictures to describe.
Ending with a **misty** experience!
The climb to Pha Nong is not difficult. A single bottle of water is sufficient. If you are concerned about your ability to make the climb, consider this: this man, despite his age, was able to do it. Note: I have obtained permission from the man in the photo to use his image for the benefit of others.
