“Easily accessible viewpoint for sunrise and mist with panoramic mountain scenery.”

The View Point Km 41 is located at kilometer 41 on the Chom Thong–Doi Inthanon road.  This viewpoint sits just before the Twin Pagodas. It’s among the most breathtaking sunrise and mist-viewing spots in Doi Inthanon National Park. During the cool season (October–March), the area is often covered by dense morning fog over layered mountains.

Visitors can stop their cars right at the viewpoint without trekking, making it suitable for families, seniors, and all age groups. Coffee and snack stalls open early in the morning, offering a cozy mountain experience while enjoying the view.


How to Get There
  • By private car: Follow Highway No. 1009 (Chom Thong–Inthanon). The viewpoint is located around km 41, about 2 km before the Twin Pagodas.

  • By motorbike or rental car: Check brakes and tires carefully; the road is steep and winding with occasional fog.

  • By local songthaew: Hire from Chom Thong or Doi Inthanon entrance and ask to stop at km 41.


Travel Tips
  • Sunrise Timing: Arrive between 5:30–6:00 AM to witness the first light of the day; expect heavier morning traffic during weekends.

  • Cold Weather: During peak winter (December–January), temperatures can drop to single digits or near freezing (below 5°C). Bring warm clothing, gloves, and a hat.

  • Road Condition: The km 41 area is steep with sharp curves—use low gear, brake gently, and park only in designated areas for safety.

  • Visit on clear days or after rain for the best panoramic mist photos.


Admission Fee:

  • Free (included in Doi Inthanon National Park entrance fee).
