A Journey Through the Mist: Exploring the Mountains of Loei and Nong Khai

This narrative recounts a captivating journey through the scenic landscapes of Loei and Nong Khai provinces in Thailand. The author's initial attempt to witness the mesmerizing sea of mist at Phu Tok in Chiang Khan was met with disappointment due to dense fog obscuring the view. Undeterred, they continued their exploration, seeking solace in the tranquil town of Sangkom in Nong Khai, where they awaited the opportunity to experience the ethereal beauty of Phu Huai Isan's mist.

The night sky above Sangkom was adorned with a dazzling array of stars, while the cool evening air provided a refreshing respite. As dawn approached, the author eagerly set out for the viewpoint, hoping to be among the first to witness the spectacle.

Reaching the summit of Phu Huai Isan required the assistance of local villagers, who provided transportation in their "E-taek" vehicles. The steep, unpaved road, illuminated only by the headlights of the vehicle, added an element of adventure to the ascent.

The Journey Begins: A Glimpse of Hope

As we descended from the mountain, the car started to pick up speed. The faintest glimmer of light began to appear, and I peered down to see mountains below. The sight resembled a river, prompting me to remark to my friend, "I doubt we'll see any sea of mist today. Look, we can even see the Mekong River!"

One of the passengers, however, interjected, "What river is white? Today will be beautiful, I guarantee it." My heart sank. Could I trust him? My previous experiences had left me skeptical. (The memory of past disappointments still lingered.)

Twenty minutes later, we reached the viewpoint. As I gazed down, the scene gradually became clearer. A sense of certainty washed over me: today was going to be our day.

The image in front of us gradually became clearer as the sunlight grew brighter. It was a truly beautiful moment.

The most breathtaking moment is just before the sun rises over the mountains, casting a magnificent glow upon the white sea of mist, transforming it into a delicate shade of pink.

Although it was only a brief moment, it filled me with awe. I have seen my fair share of sea fog, but I have rarely witnessed its transformation across different time periods so vividly.

The first light of dawn has begun to appear, and the sun is about to rise.

It has emerged a little bit.

Wider angle please.

The sun is up, and it's already blinding!

English:

As the sun rises higher in the sky, the sea of mist undergoes a series of transformations. The initial pink hue gradually transitions to a golden glow, eventually giving way to a blindingly white blanket of fog.

The Breathtaking Sea of Mist

I'm at a loss for words to describe the stunning sea of mist I witnessed here. It's truly breathtaking! I'm confident that anyone who experiences this morning atmosphere at this viewpoint will be equally captivated.
