Sunrise over Phu Tok ~ Chiang Khan

Composite shot (fun with photoshop)

Making your way up Phu Tok to watch the sun rise is one of the big tourist highlights when visiting Chiang Khan. You have to get up pretty early (obviously) and make your way up the road that leads to the point at which you pay your 25 THB entry and ride in an open truck the rest of the way. Luckily, there’s virtually no further climbing once the truck lets you off. Expect crowds of diehard photographers when you arrive, and expect to take more pictures of the mountains and the sunrise than you could ever use in just one blog post.
