With mountain ridges enveloped by dreamy mists and lush valleys coated by flourishing evergreens, the Phu Chi Fa Forest Park in Chiang Rai truly is a natural wonderland….
If you’re spending your dream vacation in the northernmost large city in Thailand at a luxury hotel Chiang Rai like the iconic Anantara Golden Triangle Elephant Camp & Resort, a visit to the Phu Chi Fa Forest Park is a must as it holds many natural attractions. The best time to visit the park is between the months of December and February as during this time the temperature cools down to create a most spectacular natural phenomenon, the ‘Sea of Mist’.
By climbing atop the great Phu Chi Fa Mountain which in the native tongue means the ‘mountain pointing to the sky’ you will be able enjoy the surreal experience of looking down over a vast sea of fluffy mist. This mist is brought on by temperatures dropping as low as 10 degrees Celsius and is best viewed during the morning sunset.
Other than the ‘Sea of Mist’, there is a range of natural attractions for you to explore and discover at the park. A nature trek at the Phu Chi Fa Forest Park will not only give you the chance to take an exhilarating walk in the refreshing mountain air but also will also grant you the opportunity to spot the park’s natural inhabitants like barking deer, wild boar, palm civets and a wide array of avifauna such as canaries, pheasants and magpies.
