On the third day at Phu Thap Boek, the sea of mist greeted us in full force.

At 5:09 AM, we departed from Ayutthaya, the historical capital of Siam, and embarked on a journey towards the mountainous region of Phetchabun. After a five-hour drive, we arrived at Khao Kho, a scenic hill station renowned for its breathtaking views and refreshing climate.

Day 1

Point of Interest 1: Sri Dit Waterfall

Sri Dit Waterfall: Due to the rainy season, the water level was high and the color was like iced tea. There was a sign prohibiting visitors from entering the area near the waterfall due to safety concerns. Visitors could only take photos from above. The entrance fee was 20 baht per person.

Checkpoint 2: Khao Kho Wind Turbines

The "Windmill Field" (Giant) is another new landmark in Khao Kho that you shouldn't miss to check in and take cool and stylish photos (you can see the full album on the page).

Having captured some stylish and cool photos of the Aof wind turbine field and shared them on social media, we headed towards the star of our trip: Phu Thap Boek.

The scenic beauty of the journey... the road from Khao Kho to Phu Thap Boek, the view along the way is very beautiful.

The scenic route up to Phu Thap Boek offers numerous viewpoints where you can capture stunning photographs.

Phu Thap Boek Skywalk

The ascent to Phu Thap Boek is characterized by numerous winding roads, necessitating cautious driving. It is highly recommended to thoroughly inspect your vehicle, particularly the braking system, prior to embarking on your journey.

Check-in Point 3: Rim Pha Resort, Phu Thap Boek

At approximately 3:00 PM, we arrived at our accommodation for the night, "Rim Pha Resort." We were fortunate to secure a room with a cliff-side view, offering a million-dollar panorama. We had booked the room a month in advance, and it cost 1,500 baht for two people.

Rim Pha Resort's phone number is 098-4174237. The resort also offers camping facilities. For those who prefer camping, I recommend using a tent that is waterproof and windproof, as there is a chance of encountering wind and rain during the rainy season. (On the day of my visit, around 3:00 AM, it rained heavily and the wind was strong. The campers were having a lively time!)

On the first day at Phu Thap Berk, we encountered wind, rain, and thick white fog. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the air was cool and refreshing (around 21 degrees Celsius, according to the temperature gauge at Phu Thap Berk's highest point).

As the sun sets, there's nothing quite like indulging in a delicious "moo kratha" (Thai BBQ) feast at Phu Thap Boek. With an abundance of restaurants to choose from, you'll be spoilt for choice. Savor the sizzling hot meat against the backdrop of a cool evening breeze, creating an unforgettable dining experience. The temperature at night dips to a comfortable 15 degrees Celsius, making it the perfect setting to unwind and wait for the breathtaking sea of mist at dawn.

Day 2

Waking up to the atmosphere of the sea of fog that came to greet us, maybe not much because the wind was very strong. But it was still amazing!!! This picture was taken from the balcony of the accommodation.

After washing your face and brushing your teeth, it's time to capture the scenery at the cliffside farm and the highest viewpoint. (Note: Rim Pa Resort is located near the highest point and the cliffside farm.)

Checkpoint 4: Rim Pha Farm, Phu Thap Boek

The distant structure you see is the Wat Pa Phu Thap Boek temple.

During this period, the Rim Pha Farm is adorned with vibrant pink flowers (I'm unsure of the specific species) that create a striking contrast against the white sea of mist and the verdant mountains, adding a splash of color to the landscape.

Check-in Point 5: The Legendary Red Earthenware Jars of Phu Thap Boek

Check-in point 5: The highest viewpoint of Phu Thap Boek

After capturing the breathtaking scenery at the cliffside farm, we embarked on a journey to capture the mesmerizing sea of mist at the "highest viewpoint of Phu Thap Boek."

Viewpoint Images

This is a legendary tree.

After capturing the stunning sea of mist, our stomachs began to rumble. We stopped by a well-known convenience store to purchase instant noodles with minced pork, drinks, snacks, milk, and butter. The convenience store offered discounts, which helped us save on expenses.

After satisfying our hunger and taking a shower, the sea of mist transformed into a thick fog. It was time to pack our belongings, check out, and head to our next destination. (At Rim Pha Resort, check-in is around 1:00 PM, and check-out is before noon.)

Our next stop: Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park.

The entrance fee to Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park is 40 baht per person, and the entrance fee for a 4-wheel drive vehicle is 30 baht per vehicle. For those who do not have a private car, there are also hired cars available.

Checkpoint 5: Khang Han Nam Waterfall, Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park

The Khang Han Waterfall is located opposite the Military and Political Academy. Walk about 60 meters to reach the waterfall. The waterfall is quiet but the atmosphere is very good. (It is not recommended to walk in alone.)

Check-in point 6: Military and Political Academy, Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park

The Military and Political Academy is a must-see for anyone visiting Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park. The small house is a popular photo spot, and visitors can see the red maple leaves that are often featured in postcards and online during the winter months.

Check-in point 6: The Royal Initiative Forest Development Project at Phu Hin Rong Kla

The Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park Forest Development Project, initiated by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, is a hidden gem we stumbled upon. This project, a testament to the King's vision, is a must-visit for anyone exploring the area.

The project site is peaceful and has a beautiful atmosphere. Staff are stationed there. There are beautiful viewpoints, various cliffs such as Lover's Cliff, Eternal Love Cliff, Love Confession Cliff, and Love Encounter Cliff, and a field of paper flowers where you can take beautiful photos. Don't miss it!

Take a picture with the cliff.

Father's Coffee

We spent a considerable amount of time here. Personally, I found it to be a very peaceful place. It was also an opportunity to see the many projects that His Majesty the King initiated for his children.

It's time to return to Phu Thap Boek. Otherwise, it will get dark.

Approximately 500 meters before reaching Phu Thap Boek, there is a scenic viewpoint called "Phu Phaeng Ma".

Check-in Point 7: Phu Phaeng Ma, Phu Hin Rong Kla National Park

As dusk approaches, the path leading up to Phu Pha Daeng becomes eerily quiet. Fortunately, another group joined us on our ascent (it's not advisable to go alone, as the 700-meter stretch is particularly desolate).

The atmosphere on both sides of the road

The view is breathtaking, so be sure to stop by "Phu Phaeng Ma".

Let's take some photos.

It's getting late, let's check in to our accommodation.

Point of Interest 7: Wiman Mok, Phu Thap Boek

Checked in and tonight we're sleeping at "Wiman Mok", Phu Thap Boek.

A small resort on Phu Thap Berk, offering stunning panoramic views from the large bedroom windows. The highlight is the rooftop, perfect for enjoying breathtaking vistas, indulging in a delicious barbecue, or setting up a tent for stargazing. Wake up to a 360-degree view of the mesmerizing sea of mist while sipping a hot cup of coffee. An unforgettable experience awaits.

The room is a simple fan room decorated in a local style. The highlight is that you can see the sea of mist from inside the room. For those who like quiet accommodation away from the crowds and with million-dollar views, this is highly recommended.

High season accommodation price is 1,500 baht. You can call to inquire about the price.
The owner is very friendly.
Phone: 090-385-6794

I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Phu Thap Boek.

After checking in, I found a place to eat dinner and then sat on the rooftop of my accommodation, sipping a cold beer. It was absolutely amazing!

The time is now 4 pm, and it's time to rest and wait for the sea of mist.

DAY 3

Around 6 am, the sea of fog greeted me, and I was so excited!

This is the first time in my life that I have seen such a magnificent sea of fog. (Are you exaggerating?)

For those who don't like waking up early in the cold morning air, like my boyfriend.

No need to worry, because here we can see the sea of mist through the large glass windows of the accommodation.

Take a picture of us together.

After capturing stunning photos at Wiman Mek, I felt completely satisfied.

We made sure to visit the highest viewpoint and the farm on the cliff edge.

Exquisite. Truly exquisite. I'll take home nothing but memories and photographs, leaving nothing behind.

It is very beautiful.

Legendary Red Clay Pots + Miniature Cabbage Farm + Sea of Mist + Phu Thap Boek Forest Monastery

It is a perfect blend.

These three images particularly resonate with me. They depict a heartwarming scene of a parent and child bonding over the planting of tiny cabbages. The child's joy in assisting their parent is palpable, creating a vibrant and detailed image brimming with love and warmth.

Capturing a memorable photo together.

After capturing breathtaking images at the cliffside farm, we returned to Viman Mok to collect our belongings and check out. We embarked on our journey back to Ayutthaya Srilang Thep Nakhon, checking out around 11:00 AM.

Final Check-in Point: Hmong Market

For those looking for souvenirs, be sure to stop by the Hmong market. Hmong people sell a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and other local produce, including kale (although it may be scarce at the moment), Korean potatoes, Thai potatoes, Japanese potatoes, and much more. You can choose whatever you like!

The three-day, two-night trip to Phu Thap Boek was as enchanting as ever. We fell in love with this place all over again and decided to make it an annual tradition. Personally, we are smitten with Phu Thap Boek during the rainy season.

Goodbye, Phu Thap Boek. We will definitely meet again. See you on the next trip!
