การเดินทางที่แสนยาวไกลกับภูหัวโล้น @ไซสมบูน (Xay Som Boun)
🌄 Phou Huah Lorn or the nickname Switzerland of Laos is not an exaggeration. It is very beautiful.
The distinctive feature of the mountain is the “bald mountain” covered with green fields contrasting with the morning mist. The view of each mountain is layered and overlapping, beautiful in 360 degrees. The path to the viewpoint is not difficult at all. It takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on your walking pace.
🚗 The walk up the mountain is not difficult, but the journey from Thailand to Xaysomboon is very difficult. It is extremely tough, with winding roads, uphill and downhill, and the journey takes a long time, 6-7 hours, maybe 8 hours. 😂 Stop to rest, eat, and use the bathroom.
– We started from Nong Khai Province → Entered the Lao border → Rented a van. At that time, there were probably 7-8 of us. Or if anyone wants to take a bus or van, there are also those (if the Bung Kan bridge checkpoint is open It is more convenient to cross this side, it is closer.)
– I recommend staying at Saisomboon for 1 night (there are many accommodations near Phu Hua Lon with reasonable prices). If you arrive before the sun sets, you can go up to take pictures in the evening. However, we arrived in the evening and did not make it in time, so we waited to see the view in the morning.
⏱ The best time
During the rainy season, “September–October”, the early season, the grass is green, there is a lot of fog, and the view is magnificent, like a fairy tale.
You should go early in the morning, around 5–5:30 a.m., to experience the beautiful fog and first light of the day.
💚💚I must say that even though it is difficult to travel, the view is beautiful and worth it. 💚💚
