Phu Chi Fa – Chasing the Sea of Mist.

📍 Itinerary Overview
A short but soul-stirring 2-day, 1-night journey to the edge of Thailand where the mountains greet the sky and mist rolls endlessly across the Mekong River. Watching the sun kiss the peaks at sunset and rise above a sea of clouds is something truly unforgettable.

🚩 Sightseeing Route
Day 1: Drive up to Phu Chi Fa → Arrive by late afternoon → Hike to the viewpoint to watch a golden sunset over the mountain ridges → Dinner at Phu Mok Camp and overnight stay amidst the cool mountain air
Day 2: Wake up early → Visit Pha Mon and Phu Chi Dao to catch the breathtaking sea of mist at sunrise → Stroll, snap photos, breathe deep → Head back down late morning

🏖️ Must-Visit Attractions

• Pha Mon: A lesser-known gem that offers a peaceful, expansive perspective of the misty landscape
