Above Clouds

"Khao Kho, Above Clouds" tour from Pattaya

 A two-day adventure excursion from Pattaya to the high-mountain Khao Kho National Park in the north of the Kingdom of Thailand. Of course, the highlight of the program is Glass Mountain and the world famous Glass Mountain Temple, Wat Phrathat Pha Sorn Kaew. According to the authoritative opinion of TAT, since 2018, the temple on Glass Mountain has been the most beautiful and unusual in the Kingdom of Thailand. And previously the White Temple (Wat Rong Khun) in Chiang Rai province was considered the most beautiful Thai temple.

 Peacocks walk around the territory of the Glass Mountain temple. The temple is decorated with a mosaic made from broken porcelain ware, donated by the Chinese diaspora in Thailand to King Rama IX.

 Every morning, near the temple on Glass Mountain, you can admire the natural phenomenon - the "Sea of Clouds". And in the evenings the illumination and light show are turned on.

 The Glass Mountain Temple was built with donations from the Dhammakaya - world's youngest and possibly richest neo-Buddhist church.

 There are hundreds of hotels, resorts, campgrounds and glamping sites scattered around the Glass Mountain area. Nearby is located one of the most popular national parks among residents and guests of Thailand - Khao Kho, a favorite vacation spot for residents of Bangkok. In winter, Thai sakura blooms incredibly beautifully here, and locals grow delicious strawberries on the park's hillsides. In the Khao Kho National Park, at the top of one of the mountains there is a Royal residence with a high-mountain flower park and a unique grove of Swiss pine trees, specially brought here from the Alps.

 The excursion is intended for guests of Thailand who are visiting the country for the first time and who are interested in the nature, traditions, culture and religion of the country.
