Doi Phu Kha, Mountain summit in Nan Province, Thailand

Doi Phu Kha rises to 1,980 meters within the Luang Prabang Range, forming the highest elevation point in Northern Thailand's largest national park.

The mountain and surrounding national park received official protection status in 1999, encompassing 1,704 square kilometers of preserved natural territory in Nan Province.

The mountain's name originates from the native chomphu phu kha tree, recognized by its pink flowers that grow throughout the protected forest areas.

Visitors require private transportation to reach the mountain, as no public transport serves the area, with access from Nan Nakhon Airport located 85 kilometers away.

The mountain hosts several exclusive snake species, including the Laotian bearded snake and Red River krait, found nowhere else in Thailand.

Elevation above the sea: 1,980 m

GPS coordinates: 19.12826,101.05989
