Not exactly the most stunning or exciting place in Thailand. 

But guaranteed not to meet any bitter and twisted TVF members there as none of them could manage the hike up to the top. That in its self makes it rather attractive, although there was worrying talk of building a cable car there sometime ago. god I hope they never did.

They used to have helicopter rides up there about 10 years ago, 2600 baht a time if I remember correctly. Been there twice already, that was quite enough.
