Phu Soi Dao, Mountain peak at Thailand-Laos border.

Phou Soai Dao rises to 2,120 meters in elevation, featuring dense forests with pine trees, birch trees, and numerous cascading waterfalls along its slopes.

The mountain has played a strategic role during the Thai-Laotian border conflicts, serving as a natural boundary marker between the two nations.

Local communities from both Thailand and Laos maintain traditional practices of forest conservation and participate in annual mountain ceremonies.

Visitors require permits from park authorities to access hiking trails, and the December to February period offers the most favorable climbing conditions.

The mountain houses two plant species found nowhere else on Earth: Utricularia spinomarginata and Utricularia phusoidaoensis, making it significant for botanical research.

Elevation above the sea: 2,120 m

GPS coordinates: 17.73015,101.00738
