Upon arrival, they requested to sleep at the staff house, which has a total of 3 buildings.

After 40 minutes, the road became muddy. The driver chewed gum and shook the car all the way, causing the passengers' buttocks to become sore. It is recommended to stand.

Tent rental fee is 50 baht per tent, with a 1 ID card deposit as a garbage deposit.
After a lengthy discussion, the two remaining street vendors agreed to repackage the goods, but requested the same three-person workload. The request was granted, and they were able to continue their work.
Let's continue. I'm also tired.
Halfway through, you will encounter large rocks called "Phu Hin Chor". The view is excellent here, so take your time to take some photos.
Exhausted... I finally arrived at Doi Ma Ho, but looking ahead, I almost don't want to walk any further.
Can you go to every mountain and wait for me down there? I'm so tired.
He fought his way up the steep slope.
Namo updated his status with a funny emoji. Namo, the sandal-wearing mountain climber.
Please send the cable car to pick me up.
Just a little more, tell your heart.
A short walk will take you to the expansive grassland of Chang Golf Course.
Looking to the left, you will see the camping area. The fork on the right leads to the highest point of Mon Chong, Doi Huasing.
We're almost there!
Arrive at the camping point, set up the tent, have lunch, and then go to the viewpoint of Doi Huasing.
From this angle, Doi Huasingh is not yet visible. We need to cross this hill first.
We stopped to take pictures along the way, every angle and every mountain was beautiful.
The 80s men's tour, a hilarious journey through the mists of time.
The red rose is in full bloom, but it is too far away to capture the whole picture. Apologies.
The female street vendor stated that the items were available in red, pink, and white colors. However, currently, only the red color is visible.
From this point, looking back is also beautiful in another way.
Oh, I'm so tired, I can't take it anymore… Who's being naughty and falling down the mountain?
The scenery was breathtaking, making me feel exceptionally cheerful. Beyond this point lies Doi Hu Ling, but I'm exhausted and can't continue. I'll settle for this and head back down to the campsite to enjoy the sunset.
Do you see that green hill in the distance? That's Doi Hu Ling. If you look closely, it resembles a monkey's face.
As the sun sets, casting a breathtaking glow, we retrace our steps, lingering at this scenic spot until darkness envelops the sky.
Their friendship is incredibly harmonious.
Lost in the moment...
Let's go back to the dance and have sukiyaki. I'm so hungry!
Chef Kit with a delicious grilled pork menu
Excellent work.
Full bellies and starry skies! We're heading to the Elephant Golf Course lawn to watch the stars. It's 9 pm now and the sky is clear, revealing a multitude of stars.
The following images are not edited to add stars, they are all real and incredibly beautiful. If you don't come out to see the stars tonight, you'll miss out.
By 4 pm, a large group of clouds had covered the entire sky. Everyone went to sleep, and we will meet again at 5 am tomorrow.
The dense fog this morning has persisted until 6 am, delaying the sunrise.
Boil water and drink Ovaltine or coffee.
Boiled eggs ready to eat on the way back...
Packed up and started walking out of the campsite around 8:00 AM.
"Let's watch the mist first. Hmm, it's so cold and biting."
Notes:
- The original text uses informal language and slang, which I have translated into more natural-sounding English.
- I have preserved the repetition of "หนาว" ("cold") for emphasis.
- I have added a comma after "Hmm" to indicate a pause.
This photo was captured by chance during a brief moment when the sun broke through the fog for less than 5 minutes. The rest of the journey was shrouded in thick mist.
"The atmosphere at Doi Ma Hop is completely different today compared to yesterday."
It's late, where is Tawan?
I'm leaving now.
Entering the forest, oh so refreshing, the air is so pleasant for walking.
Halfway through the journey, there was a small egg-cracking ceremony.
We've arrived! The boys in our group are walking like boy band members.
Take a 4WD vehicle to the Muze Tourist Service Center for 1 hour.
Everyone is very hungry now. Namo recommends a restaurant in the Musoe village.
This restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious dishes, including noodles, papaya salad, shaved ice, and soft drinks. It's conveniently located near the Ban Musem School, right on the main road.
We're having a Coke party…
10 baht for shaved ice, refreshing!
After lunch, we went for a walk in the Musoe village.
Every household here raises wild boars under their houses, just like we raise dogs in our homes.
However, it appears to be very thin, with its ribs visible. It's quite pitiful.
After eating, return to the pig farm to shower, then head to Chiang Mai city.
On the way back, we stopped by the pine forest at Bo Kaew, the Nami of Thailand.
The trip ended beautifully.
