Falling temperatures attract thousands of tourists to popular hilltop destinations

 

 

BANGKOK: -- Popular hilltop destinations in Thailand northern provinces drew several thousands of local tourists to visit during the past three-day weekend and experience the beautiful sceneries amid falling temperatures.

 

The most popular destinations included Doi Inthanon in Chiang Mai, and Phu Tab Berk in Phetchabun.

 

Temperature at Doi Inthanon fell to 4 Celsius at the weekend, attracting thousands of tourists to experience the cold.

 

But apart from the low temperature, this tourist spot also offered the magnificent splendor as the sun rises in the early dawn.

 

It is another splendid prize for those braving the ascent to the top of the slopes.

 

Another attraction is the ‘sea of fog’ that gloriously canvasses the entire territory during the morning hours.

 

Visitors to the place last weekend here were however denied the chance to view what is locally called ‘Mei Kab’ or white flower frost as had appeared the day before.

Even though the temperatures were not really low I was 'forced to drive ' from Campson to Khao Kho on Sunday, a distance of about 20 km. There was that much traffic coming from the opposite direction (southern tourists), bumper to bumper, I did a 100 km detour via Phetchabun as that was quicker to get home. The line of stop start traffic coming from the south was probably 30+ km long. So yes there are many tourists here on weekends but they are basically all Thai from the warmer south.
