Sky Road, often hailed as the most beautiful road in Thailand, offers a breathtaking journey through nature's wonders. However, to fully appreciate its stunning views, there are a few recommendations: avoid motion sickness, skip the driving, and keep your camera ready to capture every moment.
As you travel along Sky Road, you’ll encounter numerous scenic viewpoints, showcasing the spectacular Fog Sea in the early morning and the Green Sea of lush, vibrant forests stretching as far as the eye can see. The entire route passes through an Ancient Forest, a pristine landscape that preserves the beauty of Thailand’s primeval wilderness. Sky Road isn’t just a drive; it’s an immersion into nature’s grandeur, where ancient forests and breathtaking views await at every turn.

Bo Kluea: Wisdom Passed Down for Over 800 Years
The ancient salt wells of Bo Kluea carry on a wisdom passed down through generations for over 800 years.

These ancient practices not only preserve a unique cultural heritage but also bring the natural goodness of this mountain salt to those who seek its healthful properties.
Sao Din Na Noi

Nearby, the revered Phra That Khao Noi stands proudly, an architectural blend of Lanna and Mon styles, embodying a unique cultural fusion.
Adding to this serene landscape is the majestic Sala Lanka tree, whose blossoms drift gracefully to the ground, creating a picturesque scene.

Together, the panoramic views, the golden Buddha, and the timeless architecture make this a place of profound peace and spiritual beauty.
Wat Phra That Chae Haeng

Today, Wat Phra That Chae Haeng is a revered temple adorned with beautiful relics and architectural marvels. Its majestic stupa and other religious structures reflect the deep devotion and unwavering faith of the people of Nan in Buddhism.

Doi Samer Dao
Doi Samer Dao offers a breathtaking viewpoint where visitors can experience a sea of mist, a sanctuary for pure oxygen enriched with revitalizing negative ions. Here, thick fog blankets the landscape every 20 minutes, creating a mesmerizing cycle as the mist rolls in, then gradually fades, revealing a stunning panorama below. From this high vantage point, you can see a tapestry of mountains, forests, and winding rivers stretching across the valley, painting a scene of untouched beauty. Just as the mist clears, allowing the landscape to shine through, it softly returns, wrapping the view in another layer of ethereal beauty—a continuous dance of nature that fills the air with calm and wonder.
Wat Bo Kaew
On every full moon night, locals witness a radiant, jewel-like orb rising from a sacred well, inspiring the name Wat Bo Kaew ("Temple of the Crystal Well").

Driven by this powerful devotion, the temple has been constructed with intricate, crystal-like designs throughout, with every structure and detail sparkling like the mystical orb that gave the temple its name. Each area within Wat Bo Kaew glistens in the moonlight, capturing the ethereal beauty and spiritual significance of the "crystal" vision seen by the villagers. The temple stands as a testament to faith, embodying the serenity and brilliance of a divine jewel on sacred ground.
Wat Phumin
