Are you ready for a challenge? Then head to the little-known Doi Chang Cliffs. This hard-to-find trekking spot is ultimately rewarding.

The trek begins with a challenging uphill motorbike ride. The roads here aren’t very well maintained so it’s best not to bring a car. Once you’ve found the parking space, the fun has just begun.

Walk uphill until you reach the temple on the side of the mountain. If you’re lucky, the monks that live here will come out for a chat. They may also offer to show you to a nearby cave for some awesome photographic opportunities.

Then comes the really challenging part. You’ll need to scale the nearby cliffs. Be sure to keep your body as close as possible to the formations as you make your way up. In good weather, you’ll be able to see for miles around. There is very little vegetation on the top of these moon-like cliffs.

Do note that this trek takes all day, so packing lunch is a good idea.

To reach the trek, it’s best to hire a local guide if you are unfamiliar with the area. Otherwise, point your motorbike in the direction of the coordinates to find the starting point. (Coordinates: 18.110974, 100.297984)
