Do not attempt this trip alone. Take a pack lunch or snacks, a windbreaker and a fleece. A bottle of drinking water. Wear a helmet, bring gloves, sunglasses, and a camera/phone.
This is a full day trip, depart early so you have time to stop and see the amazing sights and views from the mountains of Northern Thailand.
Drive up to the Agricultural research station, then visit the Hmong village San Pa Kia.
You can find a small petrol station at the Hmong village, as well as a noodle shop.
Just above the village or at the agricultural station you should be able to find food and drink, especially during the holiday periods. But to be certain, take a pack lunch.
Eventually there are a few very basic accommodation spots providing small bungalows or tents, so you could consider an overnight trip up there.
Trip elevation gain is 1900+ meters. You can do a loop as per the map below, or find other trails which are most likely traced on google maps.
Ban Pakia is at 1450 meters altitude, so it can be very cool as soon as the sun goes down.
