The Highest Hiking Trail Blanket in Thailand

Many people may dream of a fairytale forest filled with lush greenery, believing that such a place could not exist in Thailand. However, ...

This review aims to inform everyone that the place everyone dreams of exists in Thailand and is not too difficult to reach.

What I'm telling everyone is about "Doi Pha Hom Pok", which is located in Doi Pha Hom Pok National Park.

The Doi Pha Hom Pok National Park was originally managed by the Chiang Mai Forest Management Office. In 1968, the office sent staff to survey and develop the area as a recreational site. In 1981, the Royal Forest Department approved the establishment of the "Fang Hot Spring Forest Park," covering an area of 31 square kilometers or 19,375 rai of the Fang River Basin National Reserved Forest. In 1988, the National Park Division took over the management of the Fang Hot Spring Forest Park and began the process of surveying and establishing it as a national park.

Established in 2000, Mae Fang National Park is the 97th national park in Thailand. It encompasses 524 square kilometers of protected forest area in three districts of Chiang Mai province: Mae Ai, Fang, and Chai Prakan. The park borders Myanmar to the west for approximately 70 kilometers. Notable natural features include Fang Hot Springs and Doi Pha Hom Pok, the second-highest mountain in Thailand at 2,285 meters above sea level.

On March 14, 2006, Mae Fang National Park was renamed "Doi Pha Hom Pok National Park" to align with the name of "Doi Pha Hom Pok," a significant and prominent tourist attraction within the park. Subsequently, on September 26, 2008, the name was changed again to "Doi Fa Hom Pok National Park," which remains its current designation.

Reaching the summit of Doi Fah Hom Pok requires a four-wheel drive vehicle. Follow the Fang - Ban Huai Bon road. Upon reaching Ban Huai Bon, continue along the gravel road for approximately 18 kilometers. This will lead you to the Kiw Lom campsite, situated 3 kilometers from the peak by foot. The roundtrip hike to the summit takes roughly 3 hours.

Camping site

At this point, you can request to rent tents, sleeping bags, pillows, and other bedding equipment. Food is also available, and you can request specific dishes as needed.

Highlights

To reach the summit, which stands at an elevation of over 2,200 meters, visitors must wake up before dawn. Park rangers will rouse and assemble the group at 3:00 AM. It is essential to bring a flashlight and provisions for the morning. The trail to the peak is approximately 3 kilometers long and is considered relatively easy for most individuals. However, due to the darkness of the path, it is advisable to hike in groups.

The most beautiful and impressive part of the journey was the walk back in the early morning darkness. We stumbled along the path, unable to see anything in the darkness. But slowly, on the way back, we began to see amazing things. For me, it was one of the most beautiful paths I have ever experienced.

Enjoy the view.
