“This viewpoint, located 1,431 meters above sea level, offers beautiful mountain vistas on both sides of the road and is an excellent spot to witness a magnificent sea of fog during the winter.”

Doi Kiew Lom Viewpoint is a significant and popular location for its breathtaking natural scenery. It serves as a crucial rest stop for travelers on the main route heading towards Mae Hong Son town or on their way back.
