The area is today part of Thailand but the area is traditionally a 'Tai-Lao' homeland. The border division between Thailand and Laos created by the Mekong River visible for the eagle eyed from the summit is relatively new.
Climate
Chilly, for Thailand, in the morning and a very pleasantly cool temperature throughout the day.
Landscape
An outstanding array of rolling hills, verdant valleys and elegant peaks.
Understand
In an area of outstanding natural beauty, this peak is was? a word-of-mouth secret with minimal crowds or touristic tackiness. It is not one of the largest peaks in Northern Thailand but its remote location, winding approach roads and final spectacular view makes it a trek worth making.
Flora and fauna
Farmland and orchards/vineyards turn to bush, scrub and grass near the summit.
