reviews My opinion: starstarstarstarstar

The Phu Hai Isan viewpoint perched on a hilltop in the Ban Muang subdistrict of Nong Khai province offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the Mekong River below in the valley with Laos on the other bank Not only does it offer one of the best spots to admire the sunrise in Isan the NorthEastern region of Thailand but it is also a fun little adventure to go up there

Indeed the only way to reach the top of Phua Hay Isan is to park at the foot of the hill and take a seat on a local tractor called emETaekem available at the contact details GPS that I indicate It is recommended to arrive a little after 5 am to enjoy the sunrise up there The ascent by tractor For just half an hour up there visitors are often rewarded with a sea of mist covering the river at dawn and revealing it as the day breaks.
