Doi Sa Ngo, Golden Triangle Viewpoint, Address & Entry Fee, Chiang Rai

The very cold temperatures of Chiang Rai, combined with its high altitude, make it perfect for creating this natural phenomenon of the sea of clouds. The best time to view it is to get to the viewpoint during daybreak, especially during the cold months from December to January. Sometimes, the temperatures up here can go as low as -10 Celsius, so be sure to pack for the cold. The amber sunrise and the land below blanketed in a sea of clouds will be one of the most unforgettable sunrises of your life.

For the ultimate Doi Sa Ngo experience, camp out here for a night or two. This way, you can view the incredible sunrise and sea of clouds as soon as you wake up. Then you get to relax for the rest of the day while enjoying the fresh, crisp mountain air. If you prefer not to camp, there are also a few basic and affordable resorts found here. The campsites, viewpoint, and the resorts are all found on the mountaintop.

Getting here is easy from any point in Chiang Rai. Rent a car and a driver, then tell him to take you here. It is also known as the Sa Ngo Royal Project Development Center. There is a local village here that takes care of the parking; then visitors will take a small vehicle to the mountain top.
