One of northern Thailand’s most scenic national parks, Doi Phu Kha stretches across vast forested mountains near the Lao border. The drive alone is spectacular, winding up to over 1,700 meters in altitude. We stopped for a short hike on bamboo walkways through the jungle, a calm and refreshing break in the middle of the day. Along the way, we visited Lan Du Dao and the famous Phu Kha Viewpoint 1715, which lives up to its name with sweeping views over mist-covered peaks.
