Khao Chang Phueak (team booking)
Khao Chang Phueak sits in Thong Pha Phum National Park, 1,249 metres above sea level. The highlight of the route is the stretch hikers call the Knife Ridge — a beautiful, exposed crest with a real edge of exposure to it, and a full 360-degree view from the top that you can take your time over.
- The trail is 8 kilometres and takes roughly 4–6 hours on foot. You camp one night on the summit. The mountain is open to visitors from November to January.
- There are no facilities on the summit — no electricity, no shops.
- The park limits access to 60 visitors per day.
- Toilets are pit toilets. There is nowhere to shower.
- There is no water at the top. You carry your own drinking water up.
- Mobile signal reaches only a few spots, and only on some networks.
How the team booking works
- You put your name down and we form a team while we wait for the mountain to open. If it does not open, deposits are refunded in full.
- Once booked, neither the traveller name nor the departure date can be changed under any circumstances.
- Bookings are confirmed according to the national park’s own booking rounds, so there is a wait for the result.
