Doi Pui National Park

The superb panorama over jungle-clad hillsides and gorges is a splendid reward for a three hour hike through impressive scenery to the summit of Doi Pui. The path leads past a Meo village which, being popular with tourists, has become very commercialized (for example the villagers insist on payment for allowing themselves to be photographed). Nothing, though, can detract from their wonderfully colorful tribal dress and highly decorative silver jewelry, all of which is captivating.
