This time, Fever Travel introducesThailand’s northern border city of Loei, which was once honored as one of theThaiofficially selectedThailandTop 10 Hidden Gems. It also features a “ThaiMount Fuji,” making it a hidden treasure of the region!

Of course, “Mount Fuji” is just a nickname we’ve given it—the mountain is actually called Phu Pa Poh (Pu Pa Po Mountain), located within aThainational protected area, and only opened to tourists at the end of last year. The mist-covered mountaintop, white and hazy just like Mount Fuji, has earned it the beautiful nickname “ThaiMount Fuji.”

To climb this “ThaiMount Fuji,” the only way up currently is by riding a local tractor vehicle, which can carry about six people. The bumpy ride along the undulating mountain roads is also a fun experience.

That said, getting to Loei isn’t easy, whether you’re coming fromBangkokorChiang Mai, all of which require a 6-8 hour drive to reach. Alternatively,Bangkokis also an option for flying there.
