Phu Chi Fa in Thailand; A Photographers Guide in 2025

Everything you need to know to visit Phu Chi Fa Forest Park in Northern Thailand. 

Including how to get there from Bangkok, what to see and photograph and where to stay!

If you love nature and the outdoors and seek stunning views and beautiful places to photograph as you travel Thailand, you must add Phu Chi Fa to your itinerary. 

It’s a hidden gem that no one seems to have heard of.  

You will escape the crowds in the South of Thailand and the busy city of Chiang Mai. 

Phu Chi Fa Forest Park also offers the most breathtaking views we encountered during our 3 months of travelling Thailand! 

With stunning landscape views over Thailand and Laos, the surrounding mountain ranges and the Mekong River below, it is a hikers and photographers’ paradise! 

But is it difficult to get to? And can you visit it in one day?

Phu Chi Fa is not difficult to get to and we found the journey very straightforward. 

And yes you can visit in one day, but we recommend spending at least 1-2 nights here to experience everything the area has to offer.

We spent three nights at Phu Chi Fa Forest Park to maximise our time at sunrise and sunset for photography. 

We visited both Phu Chi Fa Peak and Doi Pha Tang Peak, (more than once) and explored the area taking in the stunning views and nature. 

If you are wondering if visiting Phu Chi Fa is worth it and whether you can fit it into your already busy itinerary, then this guide will tell you everything you need to know to plan your trip. 

Whether you choose to visit for just a day or a few nights. 

What is Phu Chi Fa?

Phu Chi Fa (also known as Phu Chee Fah and Phu Chi Fah) is a mountainous area and National Forest Park in Northern Thailand. 

The word “Phu” means mountain, usually, those mountains found in the Northeast of Thailand and the word “Fah” translates to sky. 

A little research from various sources seems to conclude that the loose translation is “mountain that points to the sky”! 

Phu Chi Fa Forest Park and Mountain are part of the Doi Pha Mon mountain range and offer spectacular 360-degree views of the surrounding area including views of Thailand and Laos!

Other notable mountains close by are Doi Pha Tang, Phu Chi Dao and Phu Chi Duean, all of which we will share information on!

Phu Chi Fa is found in the very North of Thailand, right on the border of Thailand and Laos in Chiang Rai Province.

It is roughly 85-90km from the closest large city of Chiang Rai and takes around 90 minutes to get there via car or motorbike. 

If you are coordinating your travel plans from Chiang Mai then you will be pleased to know that visiting Phu Chi Fa is still doable and takes 4-5  hours by car and covers 262km.

It is off the beaten path of the usual tourist track and this is largely due to how far it is from the other more well-known things to do such as Doi Inthanon National Park in Chiang Mai or the temples in Chiang Rai. 

But this means that the area feels like a true hidden gem!

It is popular with local Thai people, but when we visited we were the only backpackers around and it was far from “too busy”.

All of this is to say it is worth the effort to get there, especially if you are a keen photographer or have a love of beautiful views!

How long to spend in the Phu Chi Fa area?

Phu Chi Fa Forest Park is a national park made up of four peaks that you can visit and photograph. 

But it’s not a huge area. And other than visiting the viewpoints you won’t find much more to do in the immediate vicinity.

We stayed for 3 nights which gave us plenty of downtime and ample opportunities at sunrise and sunset to get good weather conditions and recoup after those early starts! 

If you are planning to visit on a day trip, the drive from Chiang Rai will take 90 minutes and you will need to leave around 3 am (depending on sunrise!). 

This will ensure you reach Phu Chi Fa in time for the golden hour and witness the misty sea of clouds beneath the mountains which is pure magic!

When is the best time to visit Phu Chi Fa?

The best time of year to visit Phu Chi Fa Forest Park in Northern Thailand is November – February. 

It’s during these winter months that you have the best chance of witnessing the cloud inversions and the majestic sea of foggy clouds beneath you. 

The best time of day to visit Phu Chi Fa (especially if you are visiting for photography) is sunrise, as by the afternoon any low-lying clouds have disappeared. This makes it the best time to capture the most beautiful images.

❗It’s also important to note that visiting anywhere in Northern Thailand between the months of February and April is NOT recommended due to the burning season.

During this time, the skies are often smokey and air quality is low. Which not only makes for a rather unpleasant trip but creates difficult conditions for photography as the landscape views are often clouded by smoke.

Phu Chi Fa Mountain Peak

Phu Chi Fa is the main attraction in the area and for good reason! 

The mountain peak is 1442 metres high and offers 360-degree views across both Laos and Thailand. 

At sunrise between November – February, you are likely to witness the breathtaking sea of fog beneath you as the sun rises!  

And as both photographers and travellers, it’s one of the most stunning landscapes we have ever seen!

How to get to Phu Chi Fa Mountain Peak?

Phu Chi Fa has a decently sized free car park which opens (according to Google) at 4.30 am and closes at 6.30 pm. 

So it opens in plenty of time to watch the sunrise. 

If you do not have your transport then we would recommend either camping at the official campsite or staying at a lodge nearby and up. 

There is no grab or taxi service in Phu Chi Fa National Park. Although you could ask your guest house owner if they provide a private service.

You can learn how to get to Phu Chi Fa National Park here.

How long is the hike to the top of Phu Chi Fa?

The “hike” to the first viewpoint from the car park takes around 15 minutes and is a distance of 700m. It’s not particularly steep but can be muddy so ensure you wear good shoes!

The hike to the very top viewpoint is a further 5-10 minutes but if you keep stopping to take photographs (as we did) then it can, and will, take much longer!

If you are camping or staying at a local lodge and you do not have a car, then you will walk an additional 30 minutes up a fairly steep but paved path to the starting point in the car park.

How long to spend at Phu Chi Fa Peak?

The viewpoints and area at the top are not particularly large and you can easily see each viewpoint and walk around in an hour. 

However, if you are there for photography then we would recommend allocating 2-3 hours as the scene will continue to change throughout golden hour.

The view with the blanket of fog beneath you will look dramatically different once the clouds between the mountains have cleared and you can see the full landscape and stunning scenery.

Best Viewpoints for Photography 

Viewpoint One

The first viewpoint you will reach is a plateau that you won’t miss as you make your way up the pathway. It is a flat patch of grass with the most stunning view over the sea of clouds beneath you. 

We found this a great location to fly the drone since the crowds had continued up to the top of the mountain peak.

Viewpoint Two

A short 5-minute walk will take you to the next photography spot which is a rocky outcrop on the right-hand side. 

From here you can capture the side of the cliff, the long grass and the clouds and mountains in the distance creating a beautiful composition.

It’s a really beautiful viewpoint!

View Point Three (The top of the mountain!)

There are so many stunning views of the mountain range from here that you will be spoilt for choice. 

It’s a very unique and beautiful spot for photographing mountains.

The 360-degree views stretch over both Thailand and Laos and the scene continues to change as the clouds melt away. 

There are also lots of brightly coloured wildflowers dotted around which are really pretty.

Photography Tips for Phu Chi Fa

• Ensure you visit at sunrise. Sunset will still offer gorgeous views but to capture the sea of clouds beneath you, you will need to plan your visit between November – February and be there early morning as the clouds clear by the afternoon. 

• It’s best to try and capture some of the mountains and the fog, rather than just the fog itself.  Look for mountain peaks or trees in the fog to create points of interest within the photograph.

• Along the edge of the mountains, you can use the yellow and pink wildflowers as a foreground to add colour to the image and show the season, which helps build a story around the photos.

• You’ll need an ND filter because the sun will rise in front of you, meaning the clouds will be a very bright white. Using an ND filter will stop the image from being overexposed (too white). 

• An hour after sunrise the light became too harsh and bright to see the detail in the landscape. It was a small window of time for photography so be sure to move quickly or pick your viewpoint carefully. Or even better, visit twice! 

• There were no signs prohibiting the use of drones, which are often in Thailand if that’s the case. So we think as long as you have the correct registration in Thailand then it’s authorised to fly them. More information on which licences and approvals you need and how to do this can be found here in the Drone Travellers blog. 
  

• We flew our DJI Mavic 3 here with no problem as it’s a larger drone that’s capable of flying in windy conditions. Be careful of high wind speeds if you’ve got something like a DJI Mini 4.

• We weren’t the only people there flying a drone. At the very top of the hill we could see at least 3 drones flying near to each other. To avoid a collision we flew our drone away from the others, as well as being sure to not fly it over the crowd of people on top of the hill.

Visiting Tips for Phu Chi Fa Peak

• The car park is free and there are plenty of spaces. 

• Entry to Phu Chi Fa Peak is free.

• There are lots of small stalls in the car park selling tea, coffee, snacks, clothes and souvenirs.

• There are free squat toilets you can use in the car park but ensure you bring your toilet paper.

• The walk up and down to the peak was covered in mud and extremely slippery when we visited.  So be sure to wear shoes with good grip and even better take a stick or walking pole to help you back down again. 

• While Phu Chi Fa is off the main tourist track, it remains very popular with locals, so you can expect it to be busy with visitors. While they were not the excessive crowds we see on social media at the more well-known places in Thailand, you certainly won’t have this place to yourself at sunrise.

Doi Pha Tang 

Doi Pha Tang is around 20km and a 40-minute drive from Phu Chi Fa Peak. 

The mountain peak is 1900 metres high and has gorgeous views of neighbouring Laos and the surrounding mountain range, including Phu Chi Fa! 

It’s also much less visited than Phu Chi Fa and we felt like we had the whole area to ourselves! 

How to get to Doi Pha Tang?

Doi Pha Tang has a well-sized free car park and is around a 35-minute drive north of Phu Chi Fa (25km)  on well-paved roads. 

If you would rather use the area of Pha Tang as a base as we did, then Doi Pha Tang of course will be much closer. For us, it was just a 10-minute drive.

If you are using public transport to get from Chiang Rai to Phu Chi Fa then Doi Pha Tang will be a little more difficult to get to.

However, we would recommend speaking with your guest house owners as they may be able to arrange transport for you to and from Doi Pha Tang.

How long is the hike to the top?

Doi Pha Tang has a longer hiking path and a more interesting route than Phu Chi Fa in our opinion. 

We walked roughly 1-1.5km past lots of amazing viewpoints overlooking the Mekong River and Laos to the top and furthest viewpoint. 

There are also lots of little side paths up and down the hills you can explore on the way to the top. 

How long it takes you will depend on how many times you stop along the way.

The pathway is a mix of mud and dirt and some well-paved steps but it can be steep in places so be sure to wear good footwear!

How long to spend at Doi Pha Tang?

We visited Doi Pha Tang twice and spent 1-2 hours there each time. 

Unlike Phu Chi Fa which was a straight route up and down, Doi Pha Tang has lots of little corners and viewpoints to discover. 

You will also find a beautiful pavilion dedicated to Chinese history and more specifically a General, who led people out of communist China and was granted an audience with the King for assisting and defending Northern Thailand.

Best Viewpoints for Photography 

View Point One

Walking up the steps from the car park you will find the first viewpoint on the right-hand side.

This is where you will also find the beautiful pavilion. 

From here you can observe views of the Doi Pha Mon mountain range and the Mekong River. 

View Point Two

Further along the pathway, you will come to a particularly scenic area with beautiful yellow Mexican sunflowers and large cliff rocks. 

If you walk through these two towering cliff faces you will reach a breathtaking panoramic view over Laos and the Mekong River. 

Despite how stunning the view is, there are no foreground subjects available due to the steel railing.

But it does offer a different perspective of a very wide scene. 

View Point Four

The view from the car park where you see the cartoon statues has incredible views of the surrounding mountain range and down into the valley. 

There are also lots of Mexican sunflowers and other wildflowers dotted around which can be used as a nice foreground.

Photography Tips for Doi Pha Tang

• Unlike Phu Chi Fa Peak we found that sunset seemed to be the best option in December for photography. We found it to be very misty early morning which obscured a lot of the view but by the late afternoon, the cloudy weather seemed to have dissipated. However, if there are clear skies both sunrise and sunset would offer incredible views of the neighbouring mountains and Phu Chi Fa itself! 

• In between photographing the rolling clouds over the mountaintops, look for moments of light which will create an atmosphere in the scene

• During the winter months Mexican Sunflowers are in full bloom and make a great foreground subject to add colour. Use focus stacking to ensure the flowers and the mountains in the background are all in focus.

• Take a wide-angle lens to capture as much of the panoramic views as possible. This will also be useful for photographing foreground subjects like the Mexican sunflowers while including the mountains behind them. 

• If you are visiting at sunrise or sunset due to the low light conditions it’s best to use a tripod. If you are shooting in auto mode using a tripod will ensure your photos won’t be blurry due to camera shake. If you are shooting manually, a tripod will allow you to reduce the shutter speed below 1/30 to help achieve low ISO values. 

• Use an ND filter for atmospheric photographs. An ND Filter will reduce the light coming into your camera sensor which will allow you to use long shutter speeds (around 1 second). Using longer shutter speeds will create swirling effects in the clouds as they move over the mountain.

• If you do choose to visit Doi Pha Tang at sunrise and you have a drone, due to the altitude of the mountain, you can fly high enough over the clouds to capture the cloud inversions over Laos.  Which makes for a very dramatic scene!

• The area of Doi Pha Tang is home to Chinese Haw, Hmong and Yao villages so you may encounter stall vendors and villagers wearing their beautiful traditional dress. With their permission, you may take some nice portrait photographs of the ladies wearing traditional dresses and skirts.

Visiting Tips for Doi Pha Tang

• There is a huge car park that’s free and has toilets as well, both squat and western toilets. But as always when travelling in Asia, pack toilet tissue. If you forget to bring some you can buy some for 5 baht (11p/ 0.14usd).

• Entrance to Doi Pha Tang is free.

• There is a wider range of stalls and shops at this car park than we found at Phu Chi Fa selling lots of food options, drinks and souvenirs. We sadly were unable to locate any vegetarian food but that was to be expected in this part of Thailand. 

• Doi Pha Tang draws much fewer people than its neighbouring Phu Chi Fa so you may even get the area to yourself on a weekday.

Phu Chi Dao and Phu Chi Duean

Alongside Phu Chi Fa and Doi Pha Tang, there are two other peaks you can visit. 

We did not have time to visit them but if you do find yourself with more time, and are seeking an alternate perspective, then Phu Chi Dao and Phu Chi Duean might be a good option. 

They are, however, not as easily accessible and both require a 4X4 to reach the top. This can be hired locally at a cost of around 500 baht (13USD) according to the Thailand Tourist Board website. 

How to get to Phu Chi Fa Forest Park Area

The easiest way to get to Phu Chi Fa is to have your transport, whether that be a car or a motorbike. 

While it’s not too far from the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, it is through mountainous areas and there are not many public transport options in the area. 

We chose to hire a car as we travel with far too much luggage and we enjoy the independence of having our transport. This meant we could continue travelling Northern Thailand and visit the beautiful village of Mae Salong after Phu Chi Fa.

This is a relatively affordable option in Asia and as long as you have your international driver’s licence, a simple option.

That said, you CAN do it via public transport so it is still possible to visit Phu Chi Fa even if you do not have a driver’s licence.

And if both of those options are not your style then you’ll be pleased to know you can get a tour from Chiang Rai City.

Step One – getting from Bangkok to Chiang Mai 

If you are coming to Thailand then the chances are you will have planned to initially come to bustling Bangkok to discover the incredible street food and unique temples! 

Once you are ready to move on, the best (and most fun!) way to get to the North of Thailand and the city of Chiang Mai is by riding the overnight sleeper train! 

Despite any horror stories you may have heard about sleeper trains, we can assure you that this one will change your mind. 

It’s clean, affordable and a very unique experience! 

You can learn everything you need to know about taking the overnight sleeper train in our complete guide!

If you prefer to take a day train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai then there are ticket options for that too.

Step Two – travelling from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai

Once you are in Chiang Mai you have just a 3-hour drive to the city of Chiang Rai which is the closest big city to Phu Chi Fa. 

Self Drive (Hiring a car or a bike)

We hired a car from Chiang Mai through booking.com and paid £22 / 29 USD a day and this included full damage waiver insurance so that we would not have to pay an excess if we had an accident.

If you are happy to pay an excess, then car rental can cost as little as $13 a day with insurance. 

So renting a car in Asia is a fairly affordable option and very straightforward if you have an international driver’s permit.

They are inexpensive, but you must apply for this before travelling, depending on your country.

In the UK, we have to apply for this in person, and it costs just £10 and lasts one year.

The journey was beautiful, with many gorgeous coffee and snack shops on the way. But the roads are very windy with lots of hills and we made the mistake of taking a “shorter route” which we thought would be more scenic! 

Resulting in us coming head to head with a steep incline with warning signs advising us to turn back.

Our advice is to stick to the main roads on Google Maps – it’s still beautiful without the anxiety!

Public Transport

There are daily buses from Chiang Mai bus station to Chiang Rai Bus terminal that take around 3 hours 30 minutes and run every hour.

You can book your tickets online through 12go.asia and the cost is around £8 / 10 USD.

We use 12go.asia to book all of our bus and train journeys and we have used them over 10 times in the last 18 months with no issues or complications.

Their customer service is really good, often taking less than an hour or so to respond to queries and they resolve any queries very quickly.

We highly recommend them when booking any transport during your Asia travels.

Step Three – travelling from Chiang Rai to Phu Chi Fa

Self Drive

From Chiang Rai, your drive is just another 90 minutes to Phu Chi Fa Forest Park. 

It’s a relatively easy drive in terms of navigation but involves many steep inclines and winding roads.

If you plan on visiting Phu Chi Fa for just one day only (although we recommend more!) then you will want to arrive before sunrise which will mean an early start and an overnight stop in the city of Chiang Rai. 

Sunrise at Phu Chi Fa is our recommended option over sunset, (especially for photography!) as the stunning sea of fog below the mountains is at its best and has often dispersed by afternoon!

Public Transport

If you are using public transport and want to arrive at Phu Chi Fa for sunrise then you will need to travel the day before.

There is no official direct transport option from Chiang Rai to Phu Chi Fa Forest Park.

We have covered the unofficial direct transport option below (in the grey box) but this is subject to change.

Alternatively, for an indirect transport option (one stop) that is more reliable, we have had confirmation from the Thai Tourist board as of January 2025, that there are public buses that run regularly from Chiang Rai city

These buses operate on the Chiang Rai-Chiang Kham or Chiang Rai-Thoeng-Chiang Khong routes.

You will then get off at Thoeng District.

Buses leave every 30 minutes and there will be a pick-up truck taxi (SongThaew) at Thoeng District that will go to Phu Chi Fa.

The SongThaew leaves round 2 p.m and can be found behind the fresh market, just a 400 metre walk from where you get off the bus.

The touist board has informed us that the bus drivers and staff are very happy to guide and advise tourists where you need to get off and how to complete this journey. So do not be afraid to ask questions if you are unsure.

Tickets need to be secured in person at the Chiang Rai Bus terminal where you can also ask for the bus departure times.

Where to stay in Phu Chi Fa Forest Park?

If you are considering staying in the area for longer than a day (which we wholeheartedly recommend that you do!) then you will be pleased to know that there are lots of accommodation options. 

They are, however, pretty basic. 

You will not find 5* hotels in the area, but instead lots of camping sites, little wooden huts, white igloos and guesthouses. 

We chose to stay in the area of Pha Tang which is 20km from Phu Chi Fa but it meant that we were very close to Doi Pha Tang (Just a 10-minute drive) and the accommodation had the best view we have EVER had during all of our travels. 

We got so many amazing photographs and drone shots just from our little room!

We stayed at Ban Chomdoi Resort Pha Tang,  which had both camping options and also little huts. 

We opted for a hut as we had a lot of equipment to charge and we were staying for three nights and preferred to have an actual room rather than a tent to relax in. 

While the rooms do not have air conditioning, there is a ceiling fan and it was perfectly cool enough in December. 

The main draw to Ban Chomdoi Resort Pha Tang is the breathtaking views!

Each morning, the valley beneath us was full of low-laying clouds, and the cloud inversions remained for hours until well after midday.

We spent hours drinking Chinese tea and soaking in the stunning views beneath us!

It also meant for photography that we were in the perfect location and we just stayed at the resort on occasion to capture the views from here. 

The other factor which we loved was the food!

Given you are off the main tourist track you will not be surrounded by a huge choice of restaurants and cafes and for those you do find, there may not be any vegetarian options at all.

But the family-run Ban Chomdoi Resort catered for vegetarian food and dished up delicious meals which were always varied.

When researching, we discovered that most of the accommodation options in the area of Phu Chi Fa are a little more expensive than Bangkok or Chiang Mai but you are paying for the beautiful location. 

The Baan Chomdoi Resort was  £27 / 34USD a night for a room including breakfast.  And the additional meals were very reasonably priced at around £2.50 / 3 USD each. 

The owners were also extremely friendly and we loved our stay here!

Where to eat at Phu Chi Fa

Phu Chi Forest Park area and Pha Tang are off the beaten path and fairly remote locations.

There are restaurants and cafes but they are generally reached by car and a 5-10 minute distance from one another.

If you are vegetarian, then you will likely find it difficult to access the varied meals you may have had available to you in Bangkok or Chiang Mai. 

We did eat at a restaurant in the area of Pha Tang for lunch one day as they had 1-2 veggie options.

But it was twice the cost of food at the Baan Chomdoi Resort. So we chose to eat the rest of our meals at our accommodation along with the friendly dog and cat!

How much money do I need to visit Phu Chi Fa?

We found Phu Chi Fa to be more expensive than the cities of Chiang Mai and Bangkok and it was likely due to the fact there were not that many food or accommodation options in comparison to those bigger cities.

It was also a stunning area! 

Beautiful National Parks in the UK always cost more than busy cities, so why would Thailand be any different?

You are, after all, paying for those amazing views and the peacefulness of the area!

Accommodation can be found for as little as £10-15 a night if you are happy to camp. Or if you want something a little more “luxurious” (but still basic!) then we highly recommend the Baan Chomdoi Resort for its views and food!

Phu Chi Fa and Doi Pha Tang do not have an entrance fee but you will need fuel if you hire a car. But this is very affordable in Thailand. 

We spent around £20 / on fuel for the full three days including getting there and back from Chiang Rai. 

A bottle of water from a local shop was double the cost we paid in Chiang Mai and the same with a local restaurant.

Another reason we loved our guesthouse so much was that the food and drinks were reasonably priced and of great quality.

So our recommendation would be to book somewhere with a restaurant on site.

What to pack for a visit to Phu Chi Fa?

• Warm clothes! If you are visiting in the winter months between November – February then you will need layers. We visited at the start of November and we were wearing trousers and hoodies in the early hours and evening as it dropped to around 15c which was quite wonderful after sweating for days in Bangkok!

• Good walking shoes! The walks up to the peaks of both Phu Chi Fa and Doi Pha Tang are not particularly long but there are steep areas and it can get muddy. So ensure you have some trainers or walking boots with you. 

• A flashlight or headlamp for those early starts or late evenings as there is no artificial lighting on the paths on both peaks.

• Insect repellent. You are surrounded by nature in Phu Chi Fa and that means a lot of mosquitos. So bring repellant and a burning citronella coil if you plan to sit outside in the evenings. 

• Bring snacks and drinks from Chiang Rai. There are local shops in the area but you will have to go looking for them rather than having one just next door. They are also more expensive than shops in Chiang Rai so be sure to bring anything you want with you. 

• Ensure you withdraw enough cash for your stay as there are no ATMs or credit card facilities in the area.

• A reusable water bottle – we recommend Water-to-Go filter bottles, as they can be used almost anywhere and filter out viruses and bacteria. Keeping you hydrated, safe and reducing single-use plastics!

Final Thought on Visiting the area of Phu Chi Fa 

If you are looking for a truly hidden gem in Thailand and you love breathtaking views, then Phu Chi Fa is something you should add to your itinerary. 

It is not far from Chiang Rai and while it is a little remote this is exactly why we loved it. 

As photographers, we are always looking for places that are lesser known and still retain the culture and authenticity of the place. Phu Chi Fa is all of those things. 

Stunning views, friendly people, a rich history and countless photography opportunities!

Where to go after Phu Chi Fa?

Northern Thailand has so much more to discover than just Chiang Mai and Pai. 

The dramatic mountains, landscapes and unique temples do not bring the usual mass tourism that other parts of Thailand see, so we highly recommend you allocate some time to exploring this beautiful part of the country.

So where next? 

Doi Mae Salong  – Epic green mountain views, a rich Chinese history and sweeping tea plantations.

A 3 hour drive from Phu Chi Fa.

Lampang  – A breathtaking temple perched on top of a mountain.

4 hours and 22 minutes drive from Phu Chi Fa.

Doi Inthanon National Park – Epic waterfalls, nature walks and mountain views and just 90 minutes from the city of Chiang Mai.

6 half hours drive from Phu Chi Fa BUT only 90 minutes from Chiang Mai. So a great trip from Chiang Mai.
