On Top of the World – Phu Chee Fah

Yesterday morning I was woken up by my friend Mark’s alarm at approximately 3:15 AM. Surprisingly this was not on accident, yet a choice. Mark and I, along with 8 other friends, were making the 2 hour trip to go to the famous area known as Phu Chee Fah. So we piled in a van driven by a man that spoke barely any English, drove 2 hours, and made a short 1km hike up to the mountain to wait for the sun to rise. We knew that it would be relatively cold up in the mountains, so we all bundled up and I even purchased a scarf the night before at the local market. Surrounded by hundreds of Thai people, we waited about 30 minutes until the sun began to rise at about 6 AM. It is hard to describe how beautiful the scenery was, so I figured it would be easier to show through the many pictures that I took that morning. Luckily, you do not have to wake up at 3 AM to enjoy the same view that I did yesterday. Enjoy!
