Phu Chi Fa, Mountain campsite in Chiang Rai Province, Thailand

The mountain peak rises to 1,442 meters above sea level, offering views across Thailand and Laos from multiple observation points along the trails.

Local hill tribes established the first pathways to Phu Chi Fa, marking trading routes between communities in Thailand and Laos across the mountain range.

The name derives from Thai language elements, where Phu refers to mountain and Fah represents sky, reflecting the location's position high above the clouds.

The campsite provides basic facilities near the entrance of the forest park, requiring a 10-minute walk from the parking area to reach the camping grounds.

During November to February, morning temperatures create a sea of fog beneath the mountain peaks, forming natural cloud inversions visible from the summit.
