The highlight of Phu Thap Boek is the opportunity to witness the "midnight sea of mist," a phenomenon where the mist appears late at night, typically after midnight. The lights from the village below reflect off the mist, creating a stunning spectacle. During the late rainy season and early winter, the mist typically appears around 11 pm or midnight. On full moon nights, the moonlight combines with the village lights to illuminate the sea of mist, creating an ethereal and magical experience.

A trip to the mountains in Loei province is not too far away, and you can drive yourself there. You can also take a bus or fly, depending on your budget. However, if you are traveling by plane, it is recommended that you purchase domestic travel insurance to cover any unexpected events that may occur.

TIP FLY SURE domestic travel insurance from Tipy Insurance offers more comprehensive coverage at a lower price than purchasing through airlines. For a single trip, it costs only 55 baht, while a round trip (throughout the trip) costs 129 baht. All you need is a domestic flight ticket to purchase this insurance online and pay with a credit card. You will receive the policy via email.

Easy Tip: When purchasing airline tickets, simply uncheck the bundled travel insurance option and instead, purchase it through https://www.tipinsure.com/tipflysure or the TIPINSURE M app. This way, you can secure excellent travel insurance with high coverage at a significantly lower price.
