"Phu Chi Fa" = literal translation from Thai to English is --> pointing to the sky.
And if you go to the top of this mountain on the summit in Chiang Rai Province, you'll really be "pointing to the sky" because of the shape of the summit, the cliff, pointing towards the sky.
The location is in Chiang Rai, which is the northern most part of Thailand, up in the mountains where the cliffs are locations for tourists to go enjoy the scenery. 
What tourists love to do is to go there early in the morning and watch the sun rise and you can see the fog from the valleys below slowly uncover as the sun rises. When the sun totally rises, the fog disappears and what you see is the Mekong River, one of the lifelines of this region. Also, you can see deep into the country of Laos. The greenery is very very refreshing and the air is very pure, a must for nature lovers.
To get there from Bangkok you can either go by train, car, or airplane. I'd suggest the airplane because it's only a bit over an hour (around 1:30 hours) but if you want to take the bus or car, it'll be around 9-11 hours.
When you're there, the method to get up to the cliffs can be either by mountain biking, hiking, or take the car to where the road ends, then walk or rent bicycles. There are a few places for you to stay as well, for best advice or info (which is where i also got part of my info from), go to http://www.tourismthailand.org/7wonders/ in the 'nature' section then click on the 'beauty sports' section and you'll find this.
The weather is cool and refreshing all year round, so you'll see a lot of beautiful greenery, from flowers, plants, to trees that are quite rare.
You'll enjoy this one for sure!
