2022 Year-end 4x4 Trip: Highlands of Thailand

 "Never force anything in your life. Just let it be. If it's meant to be, it will be..."

(With our reliable Bigfoot on the highlands of Phu Chi Fa)

For our 2022 Year-end 4x4 trip we managed to cover some of the highlands of Thailand.

There are many mountains in Thailand which offer the most stunning and serene picturesque views. The highlands mountain ranges is the part of the hills extending from the Shan Hills bordering Myanmar to Laos, and the river valleys which cut through them. Many mountains in the country are not important because of their height, but because of their symbolic, cultural and religious significance. Among the well-known Thailand highlands we visited were Phu Thap Berk (1,794 m), Phu Chi Fa (1,442 m), Doi Sa-Ngo (709 m), Doi Ang Khang (1,928 m) and Doi Inthanon (2,565 m).

Along the route we managed to visit several mosques and other tourist attractions in Thailand.
