[2024 Sam Ngao Attraction] Travel Guide for Doi Mon Chong (Updated Oct)

First Mountain Climbing Adventure at Mon Jong

Our first mountain climbing experience began at... Mon Jong!!! The first mountain we climbed was Mon Jong, which is not too steep and is suitable for those who want to start mountain climbing. If you go on a weekday, there will be fewer people, making it very private. We went at the end of January, on a weekday, and contacted the tourist service center beforehand to book a car and porter. We rode a motorcycle from Chiang Mai to the service center (leaving before dawn, it was very cold), and then they took us by pickup truck to the starting point of the hike. The trail was not difficult or steep, with continuous ups and downs. If tired, we would rest; I would take three steps and need to rest, haha, because I don't exercise much and get tired easily. Before climbing up the hill to the tenting spot, there was one very steep slope that we almost had to crawl up (on the way back, we sat down and carefully stepped down). Once at the top, it was so beautiful, and the wind was very strong. After setting up the tent, we explored the hill, took photos with the highest point sign, and waited to watch the sunset. It was very cold at that time. After dark, we returned to the tent. It was our first time eating in the forest, grilling sandwiches, sticky rice, and sausages - it was so enjoyable (very excited for the first time). Then we went to lie down and watch the stars on the hill. The wind was strong, and it was extremely cold. We laid plastic down to lie on. The stars were beautiful, but it was too cold, so we went back to sleep. Waking up early, we hurried up the hill. Ohhh, it was beautiful - the golden sunlight with the grasslands, the wind blowing the fog past us. Looking around, everything sparkled with dew on the tips of the grass. I wanted to stop time; it was beautiful, worth it, and I was so happy I could cry. We walked around taking photos, sat watching the view, and absorbed the atmosphere for a long while before going down to pack up the tent and head back. I was very impressed with our first time. I want to invite everyone to try it, to heal and rest your heart. Address: Omkoi District, Chiang Mai Province

Climbing Mon Jong.

Mon Jong, Omkoi, I give this trip a 10000000/10. It's really great. The weather is superb. The journey is about 3-4 km. The view is so good you want to shout out loud. Doi Mon Jong is located in Nan Province, under the care of the Mu Sue Unit, Wildlife Sanctuary of Omkoi. There are several ways to start your trip to Mon Jong. If you travel by yourself, you start by contacting the unit to request permission, declare your intentions, number of people, number of porters, and prepare four-wheel drive vehicles, food, and drinks. My group chose to use the services of a trekking tour company, which are available from many operators. The tour company arranges everything from contacting the officials, food, tents, sleeping bags, etc. For the starting point of the journey, you have to take a four-wheel drive from the parking area, passing through rough dirt roads for about an hour to reach the starting point for Doi Mon Jong. Get your luggage organized and have lunch. If you ask whether you can drive up by yourself, I would strongly advise against it, as the starting point for the trek is deep in the forest with no one to look after your car. Moreover, the path is not easy. If you are not familiar with the route, do not risk it. Some parts of the road are next to deep ravines. The best way is to park your car at the Mu Sue Unit and use the four-wheel drive service from the locals for safety.
