Phu Foi Lom (Thai: ภูฝอยลม) is an ecotourism destination in Udon Thani, Thailand.[1] Its plateau is 600 meters above sea level, and it is a part of Pan Don Pa ko National Reserve Park.[1] The name "Phu Foi Lom" is derived from the lichen named "Foi Lom", but they are hard to find because forest trespassers used to invade the area and gather them.[2] Phu Foi Lom is officially established as an eco-tourist attraction especially for natural lovers.[1] In this place, you can find some unique plants and flowers, with beautiful colors and fascinating structure.[2]

The distance between Phu Foi Lom and Udon Thani is not so far, only about 45 kilometers from Udon Thani town.[3] The weather here is good, but it can be very cold in the winter.[1] Make sure to prepare warm clothing to keep your body protected.[1]
