Thong Pha Phumi District, Kanchanaburi

The Majestic 360° Border Viewpoint & Mountain Peak of Pilok Rising 1,053 meters above sea level, Noen Chang Suek (also known as Pilok Peak) is a spectacular mountain viewpoint located on the rugged Thailand-Myanmar border. Originally established as a strategic border patrol base for the 135th Border Patrol Police Division, this stunning peak has transformed into one of Kanchanaburi’s most popular destinations for nature lovers and campers.
