Phu Chi Fa (ภูชี้ฟ้า) Forest Park is in Chiang Rai Province of Thailand. In an area of outstanding natural beauty, this peak is a word-of-mouth secret with minimal crowds or touristic tackiness. It is not one of the tallest peaks in Northern Thailand, but its remote location, winding approach roads and final spectacular view make it a trek worth making.
Driving is evidently the easiest option to get to the area, but be aware of the challenging nature of both the road and the (pickup truck) drivers on it.
