As the rainy season ends and the cool season begins in November, many people think of chasing the mist. This trip, Manao Kaodean, would like to recommend a car-free trip to hunt for the mist at Phu Langka, Pha Chang Noi Subdistrict, Pong District, Phayao Province. Are you ready? Let's go!

  • It's a great idea to open YouTube and listen to the review while reading it. It's a lot of fun. Hehe.


  • Lemon chooses to stay in a luxury room with a sea of mist view at Pha Chang Noi. It has a private bathroom, can accommodate 3 people, and includes breakfast for 1,500 baht. The room has a fan and a water heater.

  • Affordable accommodation with stunning million-dollar views is also available, offering breathtaking panoramic vistas of the Pha Chang Noi mist-shrouded mountains.
  • Tent rentals with bedding are available for 300 baht per person, including breakfast.
  • Alternatively, you can bring your own tent for 100 baht per person (breakfast + 50 baht per person).

  • It also houses a coffee shop called Pha Chang Noi Coffee, where you can relax from morning till night. The atmosphere is fantastic, and the lime trees provide shade throughout the day and night.

  • And Manow will take you to check in at a famous coffee shop (located next to the accommodation). Everyone dreams of checking in.
  • Magic Mountain Cafe'
  • Open 06:00-18:00 Closed every Tuesday
  • https://www.facebook.com/M.magic.mountain/
  • Phone number 065 502 5499
  • There are only 2 private rooms, which means that the reservation queue is long all year round.

  • And to reach Phu Langka, Manao also wants to conquer the peak of Phu Langka.

  • Lemon chose to travel with Sombut Tour https://www.sombattour.com/
  • Bangkok-Phayao, getting off at Chiang Kham district. Lemon booked a departure time of 7:00 PM. Arriving in Chiang Kham district around 5:00 AM. Price 527 baht
  • If anyone is thinking of renting a car like Lemon, you can choose to travel earlier than 7:00 PM. There are already songthaews waiting in line to rent at Chiang Kham transportation station. So you can get to Baan Talay Moke Na Phu Langka to see the sea of fog at Pha Chang Noi.

  • On the way back to Bangkok, Manao had already booked a ticket, leaving enough time. The return ticket cost 615 baht and departed at 6:15 PM, arriving at Mo Chit Bus Terminal around 4:30 AM.
  • After going and coming back, it is recommended to return on the 5:00 PM bus, as you will arrive at Chiang Kham Bus Terminal around 2-3 PM.

  • If you arrive at Chiang Kham District and want to wait for a bus that passes through Phu Langka and Pha Chang Noi, there is only one bus per day that runs between Chiang Rai and Nan (outbound) and Nan and Chiang Rai (inbound).
  • The outbound bus departs from Chiang Kham Bus Terminal at approximately 10:00 - 11:00 AM and passes by Baan Talay Mok at Phu Langka.
  • The inbound bus passes by Baan Talay Mok at Phu Langka and arrives at Chiang Kham Bus Terminal at 10:00 - 11:30 AM.
  • The fare is 60 baht and the journey takes about 1-2 hours on winding roads. If the bus is full, you will not be able to board. If you are feeling adventurous, you can call a taxi or try to hitch a ride.

  • At this point, you can take a shared taxi (songthaew) directly to the top for 600 baht.

  • Upon arriving at the Sea of Mist House at Phu Langka around 7:30 AM, without even putting down our backpacks, Manao immediately grabbed her camera to capture photos and videos. Tears of joy almost streamed down our faces - it was breathtakingly beautiful.

  • They took a lot of photos.

  • The sea of mist at Pha Chang Noi in Pong District, Phayao Province, is truly breathtaking. I highly recommend visiting this stunning location to witness its beauty firsthand.

  • After hours of fun, we were hungry and decided to grab a coffee at Pha Chang Noi Coffee, located at Baan Talay Moke, Phu Langka, where we were staying.

  • The mist continues to tempt us to get up, stand up, and take pictures.

  • Despite her serious expression, Aleif is still playful. Manao therefore went to visit Magic Mountain Cafe'.

  • Magic Mountain, a renowned coffee shop at Phu Lanka Resort, boasts breathtaking views of the mist-shrouded mountains, making it a top destination for tourists.

  • This morning, Tuesday, the shop was closed. Manao came to look around and take some pictures. I will wake up early tomorrow morning to wait for the shop to open.

  • Walk back to sit and play for a long time at Pha Chang Noi Coffee, waiting for the time to enter the room.
  • There are still customers coming to drink coffee and enjoy the view of Pha Chang Noi all the time. Even though the fog has closed the show, the view of Pha Chang Noi is still charming, attracting people passing by to stop and admire it.

The original text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

  • It's time for the lemon to enter the room. It can sleep up to three people. The bathroom is inside and clean.

  • The view during the day is like this.

  • This morning was amazing, like this.

  • 3:00 PM Meeting with P'Pan to hike up to Phusoidao Waterfall and the peak of Phu Langka.

  • Mr. Phan will take care of everything and provide convenience. He will give you detailed information about Phu Langka and also be your guide to climb Phu Langka, so you can rest assured.
  • Contact Mr. Phan directly: 089-853-9476
    Phan Phulangka
  • The price is 1,500 baht per person, which can be shared among several people.

  • Before embarking on the energy-intensive climb, it is recommended to take a break at the Pang Khon Royal Project to hydrate and use the restroom facilities.
  • Prepare your core muscles for the challenging ascent to Phu Langka National Park.

  • We soon arrived at the first check-in point, Phulangka Waterfall.
  • It's a short walk down, only about 300 meters.

  • A small waterfall gently flows.
  • We arrived at the lime tree. After taking pictures, we quickly left, fearing the presence of leeches.
  • The descent was not too bad, but the ascent was indescribable. We could only gasp for air and wonder if anyone else would come down to see the Phulangka Waterfall like us.

After parking Mr. Pan's car, we walked up the mountain comfortably as the path was clear and not as overgrown as the one we took down to see Phulangka Waterfall.

  • Turn right first, Doi Phunam is only 100 meters away, easy.

After taking photos, we walked back down and turned left. We then ascended the hill, heading towards the Million-Year Stone Plateau.

  • As they ascended, their breathing grew heavier. They turned towards the Million-Year Stone Terrace, but could not reach it as the light began to fade.

  • May the lime stand here and pay respects from afar. Amen.

  • Hike back to the other peak to reach the Lemon Award sign.

  • Phu Langka, known as "Fin Cha Ber" in the Mien language, meaning "mountain of the gods", is a beautiful mountain peak with a height of 1,720 meters above sea level.

  • Manaow has arrived at Phu Langka. She checked in with the sign "We are the conquerors of Phu Langka Mountain". She feels very proud.

  • Walk past the sign to the angel's platform. Brother P said that villagers come here to pray for rain during the dry season. Amen.

  • It gets dark very quickly, so let's hurry back. P.S. Don't forget to bring a flashlight and water with you.

  • Tonight, we have a reservation for two at a delicious all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ restaurant for 399 baht.

  • At 5 am, the photographer was ready to run out of the room with their camera equipment.

  • No one is awake yet.

  • Stand and admire the sea of mist at Pha Chang Noi, waiting for Magic Mountain Cafe' to open.

  • Once inside, I enjoyed taking photos while sipping coffee and munching on toasted bread.

  • Experience the joy for yourself.

  • The sea of fog still lingers in the late morning.

  • On this trip, Manao stood gazing at the sea of mist at Phu Langka, Pha Chang Noi Subdistrict, Pong District, Phayao Province. I can say that it was heartwarming and I will never forget the sight that Manao saw with her own eyes.
