About Khao Chang Phueak
Khao Chang Phueak is the highest peak in Thong Pha Phum National Park in Pilok, Thong Pha Phum District, Kanchanaburi Province, near the Thailand-Myanmar border. At 1,249 meters above sea level, it is renowned for its sharp, knife-edge ridge and panoramic views. The summit is accessible only by a guided overnight trek requiring advance reservation with the national park.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a strenuous guided trek of about 8 kilometers one-way from the park ranger station to the summit, traversing forested slopes and a narrow, exposed grassy ridge. The overnight trip involves camping near the summit with no permanent accommodation. At the top, visitors see 360-degree views of forested mountains on both sides of the border, sea of mist in the cool season, and sunset and sunrise viewpoints. Facilities are very basic.
