This virtual cache is located in Thailand's Doi Inthanon National Park, southwest of Chiang Mai and is the highest point in Thailand.

To log a find for this virtual cache, locate the sign that is labelled "The Highest Spot in Thailand", which can be found using the coordinates above. Have someone take a picture of you holding your GPS infront of the sign with both the coordinates and elevation showing on the sign behind you and then upload the picture with your cache log. The picture to the right shows myself and my GPS taking a reading at the sign.

The coordinates on the sign were determined prior to the removal of selective availability, so they are slightly off. Also take note of the elevation shown on the sign and the precision used and compare it to your altitude reading on your GPS! For those that are interested, there is an official geological survey maker about 30 m up the trail behind the sign that is the "real" highest point.

Cache Logs

November 13 by Pedrera (283 found) I have spent a whole day in a really nice national park of Doi Inthanon and the "highest point" of the day was - for sure - the highest point of Thailand! :-) I will upload pictures soon... [view this log]

November 11 by little tramp (93 found) Found it on a sunny day while driving the Hong Son Loop in my camper van. Was not sure which sign to take the picture of. So I took photos of all the signs until the battery of my GPS went flat :-)) [view this log] Not really the highest spot but the lowest battery

October 7 by chuchi7a (51 found) Nice day in a great park, found it with some friendas. Thx for the cache, i found it using my mobile phone that was my camera too [view this log] 1

September 3 by Felang Lawman (670 found) Found this one on a hot day at the start of a long day's caching - I got my photo taken in front of the sign but my girlfriend took what she thought was a spare & blank camera memory card & formatted it for her own use, so no photos to add unfortunately - the cache owner has allowed my find regardless. Fantastic views & well worth the journey. TFTC [view this log]

August 11 by F&ndR (77 found) Off course we had to do some caching in Chiang Mai. Didn't find this cache at the internet and we wanted to make our own virtual cache here. When we came home we saw you had the same idea. Fortunately we made a picture at the right point. Our picture is the same as the one from dtenboer. [view this log]
