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.
