Overview

The Sea of Mist Aiyerweng is a prominent steel-and-glass cantilevered skywalk situated in the Betong District of Yala, Thailand. The structure extends 61 meters over a steep mountain cliff, offering an elevated vantage point to view the mist-covered valleys below. Located at an altitude of approximately 2,038 feet above sea level, it provides a panoramic perspective of the Titiwangsa Mountains. The platform is designed to withstand strong winds and heavy foot traffic with reinforced glass panels. It is considered one of the highest skywalks in the ASEAN region. The facility includes a primary circular glass section and a secondary walkway. The site is part of a larger eco-tourism development in Southern Thailand intended to bolster regional visitation. Visitors access the platform via a series of ramps and designated walkways leading from the main parking area.

Insider tips

Bring a warm jacket as the temperature at the mountain peak is significantly lower than in the town center, especially before sunrise.

Carry a light rain jacket or poncho as mountain weather in this region is unpredictable and prone to sudden tropical showers.

Use the provided overshoes to prevent scratching the glass surface and to maintain safety traction.

What to avoid

Do not arrive late in the morning, as the mist typically dissipates quickly once the sun rises, losing the primary visual appeal.

Etiquette

Visitors are required to wear protective fabric covers over their shoes provided at the entrance to protect the glass floor.
