Mekong River Viewpoint

Witness the breathtaking spectacle of a sea of mist and a glorious sunrise at Phu Thok.

Phu Tok is a must-visit destination for anyone visiting Chiang Khan. The journey is effortless, with transportation services available to the summit. During my visit to Chiang Khan, I was fortunate to experience the chilly winter weather and witness a breathtaking sea of mist at sunrise from the peak of Phu Tok. The locals advise observing the morning mist along the Mekong River as an indicator of a potential sea of mist encounter. If present, a spectacular sea of mist awaits you at Phu Tok.

Transportation:

The summit of Phu Tok is approximately 5 kilometers from Chiang Khan. You can hire a skylab car from Chiang Khan to take you to the base of the mountain for around 100 baht per person. From there, you can take a shuttle service to the top of Phu Tok for an additional 25 baht per person.

Join us for a sunset cruise.

Stopping by an island in the middle of the water to watch the sunset. On the island, there is a meadow. Adi saw it and thought it was beautiful, so he asked to take a picture with the meadow as a souvenir.

Morning sticky rice alms-giving

Another unmissable activity for visitors to Chiang Khan is participating in the sticky rice alms offering ceremony. This takes place early in the morning, starting around 5:00 AM, along the walking street. Monks will walk by to receive alms, and you can purchase a set of offerings from local shops for 50 baht.

Visiting Temples, Paying Respects to Buddha, and Making Merit

This phrase describes a common activity in Thai culture, which involves visiting Buddhist temples to pay respects to Buddha and perform acts of merit.

Here's a breakdown of the individual words:

• เที่ยววัด (tiaw wat): Visiting a temple
• ไหว้พระ (wai phra): Paying respects to Buddha by performing a wai (a traditional Thai greeting involving raising the hands together in prayer) and bowing.
• ทำบุญ (tham bun): Making merit through acts of generosity and kindness, such as donating money or food to the temple or monks.

This phrase encapsulates the spiritual and cultural significance of temples in Thai society, where they serve as places of worship, community gathering, and opportunities to accumulate good karma.

Chiang Khan boasts numerous temples where visitors can pay respects and make merit. During our trip, we visited two temples within walking distance of the walking street. Alternatively, visitors can rent bicycles for their temple visits.

1. Wat Tha Kok

2. Wat Si Khun Mueang
