“A peak with 360-degree mist views, expansive golden grasslands, and the rare opportunity to see both sunrise and sunset from the same spot.”
Mon Pui Mok is the highest peak among the hills in Mae Moei National Park.
Scenic Beauty & Uniqueness: Unlike other nearby hills accessible by car, such as Mon Kiw Lom or Mon Kruba Sai, Mon Pui Mok can only be reached on foot. This ensures privacy and preserves its natural environment. The summit features a wide grassy plateau that turns golden during the winter season.
Sea of Mist Phenomenon: The mist here is often thick and calm, floating over the Mae Moei River valley like soft cotton.
Main Activities: Short nature treks, camping overnight to watch stars and the Milky Way, and enjoying the first light of day amidst surrounding mist.
How to Get There
- By Car: From Mae Sot, take Highway 105 towards Tha Song Yang, then turn right onto Highway 1267 to reach the park headquarters for registration.
- On Foot: Trek from the trailhead near Mon Kiw Lom, approximately 3.8–4 km. The trail ascends gradually and takes 2–3 hours depending on fitness level.
