“A mountain-top viewpoint surrounded by tranquil hills — perfect for relaxation, picnics, and watching sunsets in a peaceful natural setting.”

Doi Phachi is one of Nan’s most scenic and peaceful viewpoints, located on the Tiow ridge within the area of Nanthaburi National Park. It is rich in unspoiled nature, featuring waterfalls, forests, and diverse plant species.

In the past, Doi Phachi was a military stronghold during times of conflict. Today, remnants such as old power generators and water pipes can still be found, offering insight into its historical significance.

Winter is the best season to visit Doi Phachi, when travelers can experience a magnificent sea of mist at sunrise, rivaling the beauty of Doi Wow. In the evening, the sunset paints the mountain ridges in warm hues, creating a breathtaking and tranquil atmosphere — ideal for relaxation or photography.

Surrounding Doi Phachi are several Hmong and Yao hill tribe villages, where visitors can explore traditional lifestyles and local culture.

At the summit, there are designated camping areas for those who wish to stay overnight and fully immerse themselves in nature. The cool mountain air and panoramic 360-degree views make it a rewarding experience for every visitor.

Doi Phachi is thus a perfect destination for nature enthusiasts, hikers, and photographers seeking a peaceful escape amidst the mountains of Nan.
