The museum provides a good introduction to art and symbology of sukhothai and the surrounding regions. The collection may be small but it does offer a condensed history lesson. The front desk offers a self guided booklet free of charge.

Looked interesting from the outside, but wasn’t open despite arriving at 1pm on a Saturday.

Small museum with pottery of the Sangkalok time. Explanations in Thai and English. Groundfloor wheelchair accessible with a little help.

you can ask at the gallery nextdoor to open it apparently costs 100b i doubt there are dinosaurs

I was there last week and the museum is closed. From what I saw, it seems to be closed since many weeks or monthes. I have called the museum phone number and I have been answered that the museum will reopen but they don't know when...

Cleanliness... Didnt sweep and clean the floor...

(Translated by Google) Update opening days... Sunday December 8, while it is noted as open, well it was closed 🤦‍♀️ (Original) Mettez à jour les jours d'ouverture... Dimanche 8 décembre, alors qu'il est noté comme étant ouvert, et bien c'était fermé 🤦‍♀️

The best I had here in sukhothai. I was kind of disappointed that i could find any good to eat in sukhothai. This place is a gems.

Super cool restaurant right down the street from the airport. My wife and I had a delicious meal here while we tried to blow some time between our hotel checkout time and our flight out of the airport. The food and drinks here were absolutely delicious! Not only that, but it also comes with a really cool view of the farm and we were told we could walk around and explore which was very fun. The restaurant grows its own food and has a cool story and partnership with Bangkok Airways (attached in photo) that I learned about and made eating there and then flying the airline all the more interesting and enjoyable to me. Again, highly recommend!

Very nice restaurant and wonderful atmosphere n ambience. Good service with a wide range of food items to choose from plus very reasonable price. Definitely recommend a visit!!!

I spent a half day for the activities. It's very good agriculture protect in the airport area. Food at the restaurant were very fresh and tasty.

Kind staffs. Vegetarian dishes r available during the yearly season.

Very interesting place very quiet during the week enjoys the gardens and farming in sites.

Organic food restaurant, not recommended for those adore spicy food // kinda boring to me

Si Satchanalai Historical Park is very beautiful and peaceful. The ancient temples and ruins are well preserved and surrounded by greenery and in a natural setting. It feels less crowded than Sukhothai Historical Park, giving you plenty of time and space to really enjoy the atmosphere.

We had a fabulous morning at this historical park. The price for a foreigner is now 200 baht each. The electric bus costs 60 baht per person.

Yet again two tier pricing, expect as a foreigner for Admission you will pay 10 times the price of a Thai. 20Baht for Thai, 200Baht for foreigner. Apart from the price gouging the venue is well kept the historical Temples are quite a spectacle, November is nice and cool to explore the whole facility, allow four hours to cover most of the grounds. There are guided tours, bike hire or Trams to get around with Tram stops located throughout.

I would like to highly recommend a visit to anyone interested in ancient cities and temple ruins. The historical park is large with many trees, so it wasn't too hot while riding a bike in the park. It has a different feel from Sukhothai Historical Park. This place is a must-visit if you go to the Sukhothai area. However, public transportation may not be convenient.

Monday 6th October 2025: Another huge site that covers a few different locations Well worth visiting, give yourself plenty of tine fo visit the different locations on the site. Make sure you have water and shade with you once your inside.

Far quieter to the main Sukhothai historical park. If you’re on a road, highly suggest you make the journey here. Bike rentals are available for 30baht

Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. This place is like stepping into another time. Ancient temples, quiet tree-lined paths, and barely any crowds—perfect for a relaxing and meaningful walk. There are so many well-preserved ruins, especially Wat Chang Lom and Wat Chedi Jet Thaew. You can rent a bicycle at the entrance and explore the park at your own pace—highly recommended! The area is much quieter than Sukhothai Historical Park, but just as charming. Bring a hat, sunscreen, and some water. And don’t forget your camera—every corner is photo-worthy! If you're into history, culture, or just love peaceful vibes, this place is a must-visit.

Visited to worship the buddha statues and Wessuwan gods here. Well arrange for all respective statue. Large area for parking and convenience.

Huge ancient complex. Spend time praying here or just historical sightseeing.

Feels like heaven. Must visit Wat in Uttaradit

This place is huge wear your good shoes

You really have to bisit ghese sights to appreciate

Buddhist Temple which Pra Tan Sila At festival are held here every year. Many stores will gather here to sell their goods.

The most attractive and famous in Uttaradit. One of the historical temple in Thailand.

Worth visiting mainly for the small hall housing the largest "nampee" steel sword in Thailand.

❤️❤️

So he had Phraya Phichai Dab Hak proclaim that he would serve the reign so he would not be punished with death. But Phraya Phichai spoke loudly saying that he did not want to be the servant of 2 princes or 2 slaves. Anyone would criticize and gossip about him, so he was punished with death.

A transformative experience. BLES is not just a sanctuary — it’s a place of respect, healing, and true love for elephants. Here, each animal has a name, a story, and the freedom they deserve. It’s impossible not to be moved by the strength of these giants, who carry scars on both their bodies and their memories, yet find peace in every step. The team is incredibly kind, welcoming, and dedicated. Even with the language barrier, I felt completely at home — like I was among friends. If you’re looking for a place where tourism meets purpose, and animal welfare comes first, BLES is the right destination. Eternally grateful for everything I experienced here. A visit that leaves a mark on your soul. 🐘💚 #BLES #AnimalWelfare #ResponsibleTourism

If I could have given a 10 (instead of 5 being the highest) I would. BLES is an amazing organization doing amazing things for the elephants. This is a true sanctuary where the elephants can just be elephants. I felt welcome as soon as I met Katherine and her beautiful family and staff. Right off we went on an elephant walk and found Lotus. She was making a rumbling sound hoping to find her other elephant friends. Once she did, the sound of pure excitement coming from them was so incredible. We would also have lunch delivered to a treehouse where we could watch the elephants below just be elephants. There is so much to rave about I can’t wait to return.

My wife and I went to Thailand for three weeks for our honeymoon, and the four days we spent at Boon Lott's was absolutely the highlight of our trip. If you truly care about the well being of elephants, this is the only ethical option in Thailand. I was overwhelmed with the beauty and majesty of their resident elephants, and the team (mahouts) working with the elephants are so wonderful - they lead and train with love and deep trust, and it is so clear. The family who runs the place are honestly some of the sweetest, kindest, most loving people you will meet. We ate the best food of our trip here. They fed us three solid meals a day, family style, and their love shone through their food. We really felt cared for and part of the family. There are also dogs and cats on site which definitely added to the experience! It is worth every single penny, and you will not want to leave. I really truly hope we can make visiting Boon Lott's a tradition. Thank you so much to everyone at BLES!!!

My husband and I just visited Boon Lott's Elephant Sanctuary as part of our honeymoon. We spent 3 nights and 3 days here. It was absolutely AMAZING! The experience to be so close to such big, gorgeous, intelligent creatures was so inspiring. Also, everyone at BLES is SO INCREDIBLY KIND. Note that in general the activities here are a bit physically active. We went on long hikes and it was a bit physically taxing. Though, if you ever did not want to do an activity there was always an option to not participate but honestly they were the best part. The food here was INCREDIBLE. At the sanctuary it is all vegan food. It was probably the best food I have had in thailand. Getting a reservation here was not that hard, really you just need to email Katherine early (we did ours a year in advance) and don't expect a reply right away. There is NO internet access at the sanctuary and most phone carrier signal does not work, so she has to travel to a different place to send emails etc. After you made your reservation you let her know when you are arriving (the sukhothai airport is where we arrived) and she will send someone to pick you up. They keep the groups very small here, up to 6. We had 4 people (my husband and me and another great couple). We had so much fun being with these people. It is a great place to meet like minded people from around the world.

Friend and I booked a stay on our 1st trip to Thailand. You need to book in advance you cannot show up unannounced. The owner, her family, and all staff are a joy to be around. Kathrine is passionate in what she does, educated in the care of all animals at BLES, and has created a truly magical place. If you're looking for an educational humbling experience while witnessing elephants in their natural state this is the place to go. Not to mention all the amazing vegan food! Highly recommend and hope to be back in the future.

We visited for 3 days with our 3 children (booked several months in advance) and as the kids describe it, it was, "Epic...Ten stars...Awesome!" It was truly an immersive experience, learning about elephants, mahouts, Thai culture and the community. Katherine and her family were so welcoming, as were all the staff at BLES. The food was the some of best vegetarian/vegan food we have had! All our needs were taken care of, and we felt like part of the family. We cannot put into words how enriching the experience was for all of us. Spending time with the beautiful elephants was a very special experience we won't forget. We recommend this to anyone interested in learning more about elephants and seeing them in a safe environment. We hope to be back again!

My husband and I had the best experience at BLES with Katherine and her family. We felt completely at home. It was obvious how passionate everyone at BLES is about elephant welfare. We loved learning from Katherine and the mahouts and observing the elephants being elephants. Couldn't recommend enough! Coming to BLES was the highlight of our trip to Thailand.

Very elegant entrance but too bad no road sign before the temple.nice sleeping buddha n big celestrial peacock bird.. Inside stupa n phra Jinnarah Buddha

The temple is very beautiful. But need to maintain in the front of the temple.

An absolute must see if you're nearby. Although it is not an old temple it has many great traditional features. You will need at least 45 mins to an hour to fully explore all this complex has to offer. Make sure you climb the steps and explore the shrines at the top of the hill, they are incredibly beautiful.

Amazing temple with thousand art and statues

What a beautiful Regional gym a temple that the Royal Family, both Kings have visited. It's a shame the monks do not take care and keep it dusted and cleaned. In the last three or four years they have really Let It Go. But it's still very impressive to visit

I was impressed with the fine art construction of this temple​ &​ the​ intention of​ the​ ex-abbot whom intended to creat the​ fine​ art​ for the​ next generation.​ I​ recommended you to​ visit this​ temple​ &​ took time to​ absorb the​ soul of​ the​ creator.​ This​ temple​ close at 17.00​ Lt.​

The very elaborate local temple had 3 levels with various sala's. Some used others abandoned a whole ago. It has a big and rich collection of old artefacts well worth seeing. Plentiful richly decorated it has many stories. There is also a memorial for fallen soldiers.

When you are in the area, visiting the much larger Wat Pha That Cho Hae, I suggest you also come visit this temple. It is smaller but also ancient and set in a forest clearing. There is a very tall standing Buddha next to the stupa. There are other intetesting/different statues around the temple complex. Just outside the temple in the forest, there is a reclining Buddha.

An old age temple where located not far from Chor Hae Temple, but just a small group of people go to make merit.

Visit 25/3/2019. Old Wat with lots of strange statues in one old section. Many old artworks wanting restoration.

This is a wonderful temple to visit. I am very confused though about many of the statues that are being tortured. wish that we knew why. All in all this has been our favorite temple but they may be because it was not crowded at all so we could walk around on my own.

Took refuge here in rain storm for an hour...many interesting features at the temple.

Beautiful old temple with lots of unique decor. Has a small hell garden and great Lanna aesthetics.

A peaceful temple a short distance from Phrae. The temple is currently undergoing extensive works but it is still well worth a visit.

Classic and calm place...nice culture.

Beautiful temple situated on top of the hill. Place of worship for people who were born in the zodiac year of tiger. Lately became quite commercially centric

Wat Phra That Cho Hae is a royal temple located just outside the city of Phrae atop a small hill. It is a must visit when coming to Phrae. I recommend a visit.

The greatest temple in Phrae

Huge temple for buddhism, lift is available for the old people

Very near to the city center. A sacred place with a local market.

beautiful sacred temple, the year of tiger monastery.

A must visit place when coming to Phrae. Experience for yourself how the old ruler of Phrae lived, slept, dined and worked in his huge wooden house right in the city centre. Free entrance but donations can be made. Expect to spend 30-45 minutes here as a tourist to see it all and walk around slowly as the wooden floor is very slippery in some parts of the house

First, it’s a free museum so no worries about reservations. And it’s filled with a lot of historical and unique pieces. It felt like taking a step back in time as I went through the floors and the rooms and I really took my time doing so. I loved the fact that they also had these little document stands and picture boards to elaborate more on whatever piece of artifact you were seeing or room you were in. Absolutely recommend.

The residence of the Phrae royalty in the past. Learn about his and his family way of life here. Free to enter. There is a guide who can speak English to show you around the place. Came to visit during midday and chanced upon the free guided tour (in Thai) at 2pm. Took one and a half hour traveling on the tram to numerous temples. Mainly locals. Tour ended back at Kum Chao Luang, but you can get off at any point. We are free to tip them if we want at the end. Morning tour is at 10am. Luckily I had some knowledge of Thai so it's much enjoyable. Otherwise it may serve only as a transportation among the sites. the friendly guide is able to explain a little in English.

A historical destination that should not be overlooked! This, is the mansion of the last King of Phrae. Its furnished in a manner thats very vintage. There is also a guid, but only really speaks English, so maybe bring someone to translate for you? Lovely place, enjoyed soaking in the history 👌🏻

We made an unscheduled stop here and were we glad we did. No tourists were here when we visited. We took our time browsing the mansion/museum. There’s plenty of parking on the roadside (which is common in Phrae). No entrance fees, clean toilets and best of all…there’s a cold water dispenser. Staff were very friendly and considerate. Well-maintained sight. There are English labels for some of the items so I could understand the history of the mansion.

It was on fine day we went, the building is in good care. There are etiquette in English, but only short explanation. For someone who interest with building/history, perhaps you could read online articles before/after going to this place. Clean toilet available at the backyard garden.

Well preserved teak house with beautiful wood trims. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable in explaining the different parts of the house and its former uses. However the landscaping could use some improvement to complement the house.

The valley is very nice and it's also poasible to walk around in the wood at some paths, but all the bords for explanation are gone.

Sao Din Na Noi is a small area with cliffs and green trees and it's over 10,000 years old. The structures are formed by wind and rain. Nice to walk around and perfect location for taking photos. When we were there in November, we were the only visitors

For travelers like me who do a tour of the superb Nan province. Forget about this place, you will not see more than what’s on the photos. They ask for 100 baths and more 20 baths for parking. And they don’t even provide a leaflet or a map of the site. It’s really not worth the detour.

It's believed that Sao Din Na Noi was created as a result of the shifting of earth's crust during the late Tertiary Period. Geologists estimate these formations, once part of the oceans floor, to be roughly 20,000 years old. Discoveries of stone bangles and ancient axes have been made here...indicating that this area was, also, once inhabited by human beings during the Palaeolithic Age.

Nice place to visit in eary morning hour or the lare evening hour while the weather is not that hot. Great place to capture some mini grand canyon type landscapes. The entrance for a foreign is 100 baht. The same ticket that was purchased at Doi Samer Dao can be used here as well. There were washrooms here.

I paid 150 baht; 20 baht for adult. 100 baht for foreigner, and 30 baht for car parking. The tickets include the entrance fee for Doi Samur Dao camping ground.

Lots of grand canyon type, some compare it to China's Kunming. Okay to visit if you are already in Nan. An hour and a half drive from Nan city.

In my point of view, it's natural sand mountain, just small one! Anyone who likes the plain style background can stop by for a visit. In addition, the restroom here contains shower room too. For those who didn't had a shower up at Doi Samer Dao may consider to do so at this place.

A scenic gem nestled in Nan Province at an elevation of about 1,424 m, Khun Sathan National Park offers breathtaking mountain views, serene morning mist, and clean, well-maintained camping and visitor facilities. Highlights & Attractions. Panoramic Viewpoints: Doi Khun Sathan (approx. 1,630 m) and Doi Mae Chok (approx. 1,424 m) provide spectacular sunrise and mountain vistas—the morning mist adds to the ethereal experience. Cherry Blossoms in Winter: Wild Himalayan cherry trees bloom beautifully in December, adding vibrant pink hues to the landscape. Diverse Flora & Fauna: The park spans mixed deciduous, pine, hill evergreen, and dipterocarp forests. Wildlife includes deer, monkeys, civets, birds, and occasionally wild boar or tigers. Facilities & Camping. Campsites & Bungalows: Multiple camping zones and basic bungalows available for rent. The campground features hot showers and a coffee shop—ideal for a relaxing overnight stay under starlit skies. Amenities: Includes parking, restrooms, clear hiking trails, a small restaurant, and a scenic coffee spot overlooking the valley.

If you're here for the view and nature, this is one of my most recommended place to sleep overnight. I stayed in a hut overnight with nice bed and thick blankets for two. Waking up to sunrise and a sea of misty fog layed acrossed the land. They also have a cafe that you can have toast and coffee to warm you up.

Great place for camping, very well covered facility, but be careful of leeches when stepping on wet surface. Overall really good place for relaxing and enjoy the scenery. Cell service is working.

Try not to go with motorbike 🏍️ the road was extremely slippery during rain, especially on the edge of the road. Me and my partner were had an accident but it wasn’t a bad one. Guys! I couldn’t see anything when I reached the viewpoints. It was drizzling all the time and a bit cold. I suggest you to not go up the pine tree viewpoint, crazy leech will suck your blood like hell. They are extremely difficult to get rid off from your feet. Anyway I am pretty sure this place will look a lot better during winter, the pink flowers still waiting to be seen next time. The staffs are really nice and helpful.

Peaceful National Park with nice camping areas and good bathrooms. Sadly, the forest has been denuded in many places and the lights from a couple of large towns are visible in the night. The tiny restaurant only cooks rice with omelette which is tasty. We had a pleasant night watching the stars move in the heavens.

National Park at 1400 mt. Elevation with campground and facilities. Nice coffee shops as well. A 400 mt. hike will take you on the mountain top and you will be rewarded with a great view.

A very busy camping site. Doesn’t have electricity at the campground. It’s not allowed to cook near the tents too. There is a separate place for that. Pillows provided by the camp are not that comfortable. You can see the sunrise in the morning.

Interesting to visit this place. Love the limestone with water flowing. Guess it the iconic stuff to see inside the cave. The steps up to thebcabe was not nicely patched hence its might be challenging for some. Plenty of parking. Short climb to the cave. Plenty of parking area.

The cave is absolutely beautiful! The entrance is free. Visitors should be aware of the path to the cave and in the cave. The humidity during monsoon season is very high and the stairs become very slippery. The path inside is slippery as well. The lights in the cave provide enough light to see around and to take pictures, and videos. There are not too many visitors during rain season.

Great free place to visit. The caves are amazing inside if a little worry some as they are so wide haha Nicely lit up and it was very quiet. It's completely unaccessible for anyone with mobility issues unfortunately due to the height of the caves and the very rough steps. Outside the caves they have labelled all the trees if you are interested in that. Not too bad a view from the top also.

Free. No entrance fee attraction. Well maintained and lighting is great.

Nice size cave takes about 30 minutes round trip. Got some nice pictures.

We had a lovely time at this cave. The grounds are well maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful. The cave is currently dry and very easy to explore. There was a woman, working in the little store in the parking lot, who turned on the lights for us. We felt very lucky to be the only ones in the cave at the time. We also enjoyed feeding the animals there (Goats, deer, peacocks, ducks and chickens).

Awesome cave. Admission is free. Its about 100 meters of trekking up the rocky steps. The caverns sre lighted up in colours You ca go in without a guide. Its easy ar fully lighted. Awesome

Covering nearly 455 km² across northern Thailand, Mae Yom National Park features the winding Yom River cutting through lush mountainous terrain of mixed evergreen and teak forest. Highlights include Dong Sak Ngam, home to extensive stands of towering teak; Kaeng Suea Ten, a natural river riffle perfect for camping and rafting (seasonal); and the enigmatic Lom Dong basin, which offers year-round water and scenic viewpoints. Wildlife sightings include elephants, serow, deer, wild boar, and diverse birdlife. The park offers basic amenities including a visitor center, campgrounds, and floating houses on the river. Open daily 09:00–17:00, with entrance fees ranging from THB 20 to 100 depending on nationality. Ideal visit season runs November through May, with foggy mornings and pleasant hiking conditions.

At least it’s only 100 baht per person but there’s not much to do here . Pretty view in terms of a nice river /rapids but that’s all there is . You pay to have river access but there is no hike or anything . We took the road through the park which eventually dead ended (it used to be another entrance to the park). There is rafting that happens here in certain seasons too but probably expensive ! Pretty area but not worth a detour

Nice ntp

I happened to get in this park. Deserted. No cars running..only several road workers, not much. No one, no cars around you!! Road conditions is terrible like stones, dirt, holes,spilt oil...bumpy, not for riders...and there are black bears and elephants!!!!

Fantastic. Peaceful for nature lovers

Only a coffee shop in this way.

Awsome park nice staff

A nice national park for camping and walking. The campsite is next to the waterfall and there is restaurant inside the park in cheap price. Very convenient. Peafowls should be around on January to March but we did not see one on 23 January.

I really like this place. The waterfalls is very nice and a lot of water which you could jump and swim. The campground is nice.

Important routing advice: If you are coming from Phayao (just over an hour's drive), gps will guide you right in to the park, but if you come from Lampang, gps will have you exit highway 1 near Mae Wa, and this route eventually ends up on a dirt road with 40 km still to go. Continue north on highway 1 to highway 120 and come in that way. That said, this was a nice park. Entry was 100 thb plus 30 for a car. Main attraction is the waterfall, which I will review separately. Camping here looks peaceful. There's a snack bar and a restaurant, although I had trouble getting someone's attention there and eventually gave up on getting a coffee. There's also a short nature trail, 1.3 km loop which took my less than 30 minutes to walk. Not that interesting of a walk, but good for exercise if you have the time. Trail starts above the first aid house and ends near the snack bar. And speaking of the first aid house, they seem to be safety conscious here. In addition to first aid, there was also a ranger stationed by the waterfall, who kept an eye on me any time I was near the water. Comforting to me. Toilets are in numerous locations, even down by the waterfall.

Probably the prettiest twin waterfalls I've visited. Enchanting and surreal. Must visit but do it off-peak. If you're lucky, a pet peacock will be there to greet you.

Actual entrance is a little further west down the road. Hands down the best park I've been to. Not crowded. Beautiful waterfalls. Easy hike. Look out for peacocks! Good cheap restaurant on site as well.

The Waterfall is awesome ! Quiet unfortunate you can't swim there. Was definetly worth the trip.

Be careful with big birds walking on park and camping ground. One of them are aggressive and dangerous. It attack my tent and after that my legs, it was scary and painful :(

An old temple in the middle of the lake which a boat ride is needed. Nothing much to do there but you can enjoy the view on the way. What a poor experience to see the local just caught fishes, turtles literally from the lake itself and put them in a bucket for anyone to pay some amount of money in order to let them free. What an easy way to do some business!

Great place to visit in Phayao Lake. Small shrine with wooden long boat ride to the island in the middle of the lake for only 50 baht. Phayao Lake at sunset is very beautiful. Recommended highly for a visit by eBike CNX and our group riders.

I love it there! A place that brings you peaceful and calm. the way to there was amazing view and it was just 50 baht person but if you are less than 6 people 300 baht to take over the boat round trip.

I came here during the rainy season. There are few people and the ticket for the boat ride is about 50 baht per person (if there are 5 visitors).

Wat Tilok Aram isn't your everyday temple—it's literally sitting pretty in the middle of Kwan Phayao Lake, like the chillest monk on a giant floating meditation mat 🛶🕉️. You have to take a short boat ride to reach it, giving you bonus points for feeling like Indiana Jones, but with fewer snakes and more serene vibes. Once you're there, the temple itself isn't huge, but that's kind of the charm. It's peaceful, tranquil, and offers views across the lake that are so calming they might just lower your blood pressure better than meditation itself. It's a unique spot for photos, contemplation, or just awkwardly standing around trying to absorb spiritual enlightenment. Overall, Wat Tilok Aram is a must-see if you're around Phayao—if only for the bragging rights of having visited a temple that requires actual paddling skills. Definitely bring your camera and some small change for the boat ride—enlightenment might be free, but the boat isn’t! 🚣✨

- 50 Baht each person for 6 people on boat - 100 Baht each person for 2 people on boat - Better give some extra tips to the driver, he got a cheap daily paid. Many rounds don’t help him to get more money. The drivers deserve tips! - Staff shouldn’t clean off flowers when visitors still there. It’s better to clean when visitors left, otherwise next time visitors would never want to buy flowers from the pier.

Beautiful boat ride to worship place

If you use google by putting in Phayao Lake you will end up on the super quiet side of the city. There is ‘nothing’ here. You will see local people fishing and you will see other tourists turning their cars here. The local person I spoke with told me that on a daily base he is sending tourists back because tourists wanted to go downtown. So enjoy Phayao Lake but better put in an address of a hotel/restaurant that is located downtown to really end up downtown.

Not too far from Chiang Mai and a great place to relax and take in the lovely lakeside view. It really is worth a stop on the way to Chiang Rai. There is also a central bus station in the small town that has good connections with most of northern Thailand as well as Bangkok

Kwan Phayao lake today has not been covered with water hyacinths like the past. There is quite clear on the surface. You would see the reflection of the remote mountain on the surface of the lake in the evening of the brigth day.

Beautiful view especially by sunset. Certainly on hot days it is very nice to walk there or sit on one of the many terraces.

Very beautiful lake. All around is fantastic.

A Really nice place to visit, this is my wife's home town. If you drive from Chiang Mai over the mountain, on a clear day the view is amazing

Very nice

One of our favorite places to visit when traveling from Mai Sai in the north to Chiang Mai. We've stopped here several times, even once very late at night. The coffee shop is only open until early evening. But you can use the hot springs anytime. The water is very hot. There are boiled eggs you can purchase but also other cafe items from the coffee shop. It's was only ever crowded one time. A tour bus came around noon. Please note there are two of these places on each side of the highway. The one near the temples are very run down. Go to the other one with 91Coffee shop. 这是一个美丽的地方。这里有一家咖啡和茶馆，价格不贵，很适合拍照。Zhè shì yīgè měilì dì dìfāng. Zhè li yǒu yījiā kāfēi hé cháguǎn, jiàgé bù guì, hěn shìhé pāizhào.

Great place maintained by locals.There are various shops if you want to buy something and some nice place to get yourself a simple homemade breakfast with some good coffee. There is a toilet at the back of the place, the toilet is hygienic and there is a charge of 5 Baht to enter. The most fun part is you can buy eggs and put them in a basket and boil them in the hot springs.

It is an interesting phenomenon to see boiling hot water to break up from the ground. Easy to park around on both side of the road. But be careful with the traffic. All kinds of goodies for sale, food and souveniers. You can boil some quail eggs for a buck in the hot water. Take nice pictures and even enjoy the soothing benefits of the hot water on your skin. There is a part where the water can be waded and it's not burning hot anymore. A lot of fun for the whole family.

Right off the road leading to Chiang Rai temples, there’s a cute little hot spring. Steaming in the front right by the sign and there’s a foot spa available by the shops (can dip in your feet for free!) There’s also a deserted mineral bath spa in the back - creepy but cool to walk through!

A nice stop over on the way to Chiang Rai. Foot bath is nice and the hard boiled egg at $20 is very good which they used they got spring water to boil the egg. There is a stall selling delicious braised pork knuckles rice.

We stopped at Mae Kachan Hot Springs during our drive from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, and it turned out to be one of our favorite unscheduled pauses. Located right off the highway in Moo 6, Pha Soet Phatthana Village, the spot is a popular rest stop—complete with cafes, souvenir shops, and stalls selling fresh fruit, snacks, and souvenirs. The highlight is the natural hot spring pools, where boiling water gushes from the ground at around 90°C—hot enough to cook eggs in just a few minutes. We bought a few eggs (chicken and quail) and had fun boiling them right there on the spot. A quirky and memorable experience! While the main hot spring is too hot for dipping, there’s a smaller diverted stream where the temperature is just right for soaking your feet. It felt great to give our tired legs a warm soak after hours on the road. There were even foot-soak setups offered by nearby shops if you wanted to make it a little more indulgent. The facilities were basic but decent. There was no entrance fee, just a small charge for using the restrooms. The area was bustling but still relaxing, with friendly vendors and fellow travelers stopping for a break. It’s not a destination you’ll spend hours at, but as a quick and unique roadside stop, it’s well worth pulling over for. Definitely a fun way to break up the journey!

Like all the other hot springs in the area. Strong sulfur smell. Fun things to do like boil an egg. Clothes are slightly cheaper here.

Nice spot to stop on the way to Chiang rai, with a temple replica which is in a ruin state. Nice for pictures and to experience egg boiling in a natural hot spring. Souvenirs, clothes and food can be bought from here too. Its nice stopping and dipping your feet in the water (with caution). The sulphur smell adds to the experience.

On the way to Chiang Rai, we stopped at a hot spring resort♨️Drive-in, which has a hot spring facility and a free foot bath. A private bath🛁 is 200Bt. It's a great place to stop by for a break. The water in the foot bath is lukewarm.

We had a toilet stop at this hot spring on the way to Chiang Rai. There are some shops here and also free areas of the hot spring where to dip our feet into the warm waters. There is also a hot spring that can cook eggs, though we didn't try.

Super touristy, a lot of Chinese tourists just soaking their feet and super noisy, not much views and 5 baht per person toilet fee, not much to see just a pit stop with 20baht eggs, speaking of eggs I doubt it’s natural hot spring the entire place smells like eggs even the ‘fresh’ water so yeah

Nice stop on our way to golden triangle, good place to stop for a toilet break & coffee. Plenty of parking spaces and a few cool tourist attractions and btw the place is crowded with tourists

one of the better hotspring areas that are clustered in this geographic area; not too commercialized; very good food in the coffee shop; plenty of room and parking

Great little rest stop, hot springs we sat and had a coffee soaked our feet. The restaurant up front has free restroom and foot soak for customers

Large, beautiful Wat on the lake worth visiting

Beautiful temple! A big golden Buddha statue. Very peaceful and at the end of the temple complex there are statues that depict I guess the Buddhism version of the hell. No entry ticket but donations are welcome.

Love to visit the temples in Thailand.when traveling Thailand. Needed a stroll today and only a few km from the town and most of the main Hotels. Worth the visit. It's said one of the largest Buddah in the area.

Majestic temple with Lake view at the back, very peaceful and a must visit if you are in town.

Nice atmosphere, close to the centre of the town, masssssive Buddha statue...and right next to the lake. My favourite part however was the "Buddhist Hell" .....on the far side of the property, I think right next to the exit....i loooved those massive dark tall creatures!

Wat Si Khom Kham, is a important royal temple of Phayao. The temple houses the largest Chiang Saen style Buddha image in Lanna (14m width and 18m high. It's called "Phra Chao Ong Luang or Phra Chao Ton Luang". The newer sala on the left has inside walls with beautiful murals.

โบสถ์งาม สวย สงบ The lamp or the temple Wat Phra Sri God their king royal temples belong to the Maha Nikai ordinary floor council of God enshrined within the temple was the president of his own Highway built in the reign of King Phaya top of the order of the 10 Chiang Rai Dynasty Mengrai.

This is a very interesting and hugh temple. Lots of historical building Eye opener. Must visit when in Phayao

Very quiet but very nice. The stairs up from the lower temple don't seem to get used and we're over grown but I loved the fact that it was like that, felt like Indiana Jones going through the jungle abandoned relic. But saying that it was slippy on the moss so you need to take care

Amazing wat, big place, great place for meditation

Hidden gem in Phayao! Absolutely breathtaking views and peaceful vibes. The area is beautiful, lots of green, trees. Good to go for walking meditation, and to enjoy the shade of trees!!

Beautiful Temple in the Forest high above Phayao. If the weather is good it will provide you with a stunning view over Phayao.

Good temple .what maha anariyo temple .in payaw. Most beautiful place .

The future must be know. Very nice temple. Identity art but not sure Lanna art. View on the mountain overlooking Phayao lake.

This place isn't just a farm stay—it's like being part of a big, welcoming family. Apple and her crew go all out to make sure you feel right at home. I stayed in this cool tent that felt more like glamorous camping. It was super clean and comfy, and the mountain views were amazing. Being surrounded by nature was so relaxing; it's the perfect break from city life. There is an option to stay in a completely private house, with rooftop area and sunrise view. Whenever you need to get some work done outside of your staying place, the restaurant's terrace is a chill spot with Wi-Fi, bird songs and of course delicious food! There is a lot to do here, like biking, swimming in the lake, and joining fun workshops on stuff like Tie Dye, Wild Honey, Thai massage and many more (look at the photos). The best part? They're all about being eco-friendly and natural. They'll even chat with you about healthy living and sustainability if you're keen. Basically, Rai Ruen Rom is more than just a place to crash; it's like a little paradise where you can unwind and soak up the good vibes.

A huge place full of many experiences. From nice comfortable resort to goat barn to rice field to mountain to farms. Restaurant is also very chilled and offering good food. Most of the menu is organic, grown by themselves. Price is not cheap but everything comes with quality.

This is a great full experience. The cafe on premise is full of delicious and unique food and drinks, the little houses area extremely cozy and comfortable, and the farm has a handful of activities to choose from. The views of the farm from the house is one of the most beautiful views. The private dinner on the roof of the house was a experience as well. I would give more stars if I could, we’re definitely going to come back here regularly.

Apple the owner spoke perfect english and she made us feel very welcom on her farm. We didn't expect such high quality and class truely an exceptional stay. One night and it included many activities. The roofttop house was utterly beautiful and they prepared a traditional thai bbq on the roof for us. All food and drink has been organically produced here on the farm. Apple the guide explained to us all the production and harvesting, and we sampled everything....lots of flower, leaf and fruit eating. The kids and especially us adults loved the salt egg preservation and natural tye-dye. Delicious food and drinks, and a conscious sustainable community project. Definately worth a visit for a few days or even to stay for volunteer work. Thank you so much for this unexpected and stimulating visit. Anna and family from the Basque country. Spain

We had the best time here! Is the staff and owners are very friendly and you feel like part of the family and community. Accommodation is great, food is delicious and portions large, activities are fun and it is eye opening to learn more about the Thai plants and how it can be used in different products. We can’t wait to come again!

It was very wow ! We fell in love with this place from the first minute. Some of our guys said "I would like to stay here" during first day. We were amazed how workers took care of us, solved any problem we had, smiled to us any time. They were listening to any our request, to change something or find something. Farm is amazing place for any event, it is remote, you can concentrate and work together. Moreover, nature around really helps to relax. In the end of our event we had a feeling that we didnt want to go home :) Everything is ecological, even shampoo :) Food is very tasty, also they had some activities, lectures you can join, to learn about the place, eco-farming, eco-lifestyle and so on. Also there is a great opportunity for volunteering on the eco-farm, we also helped them. It is the place to be :) Thanks a lot to Apple and all her family ! You do a great job.

Amazing farm stay experience. The founder was very welcoming and gave us a tour around her property to share all the sustainable farming practices and diverse crops. The food was very fresh and tasty as well. We stayed in the tents which were very clean. The bathrooms were also clean and had very hot water! For those staying, they also have activities such as DIY honey, cookie making, and tie die.

A very beautiful temple. This place is more like a theme park rather a temple as it is so beautiful with many status of Buddah.

When I entered the temple I was simply not prepared for what I was going to see. Full of large and small temples, observation points, waterfalls, even a jungle full of fairy tale creatures. Lots of Buddha statues of all possible types and even an attraction with wall paintings that glow in the dark. It is mandatory to climb the bridge with a transparent floor to an observation point with a spectacular view of the entire temple with a background of mountains.

Wat Saeng Kaeo Phothiyan is an impressive and colorful Buddhist temple complex located in Mae Suai District, Chiang Rai Province, Northern Thailand. Although not as well known as the famous White Temple (Wat Rong Khun), it has become a popular destination for both locals and visitors seeking a unique cultural and spiritual experience.​ 🏛️ History and Background The temple was founded in 2006 at the initiative of the respected monk Kruba Ariyachat Ariyajitto, and construction began in 2010. It is dedicated to Kruba Srivichai (1878–1939), a highly revered monk in Northern Thailand. The complex is still under development, but many of its elements are already completed and open to visitors.​ The temple was hit by a massive fire on the night of June 22, 2024. The fire broke out at around 00:35 and particularly damaged the temple's Viharn (prayer hall), which is known for its rich decoration and artistic details. The extinguishing work lasted until around 03:00, and the damage was estimated at around 100 million baht

Wat Sang Keow is a truly unique and enchanting temple located in northern Thailand. From the moment you arrive, the experience begins just outside the temple grounds. The car park is situated away from the main complex, and you'll notice a lottery stall nearby — likely attracting hopeful punters seeking blessings from the renowned abbot, Kruba Aliyachart, known for his miraculous presence. As you approach the temple, a distinctive symbol catches your eye — the Peacock King, representing the temple’s identity and spiritual essence. Climbing a short flight of stairs, you’re greeted by impressive statues of Phra Sangkachai and Phra Upakut, followed by a towering golden image of Kruba Sivichai. These spiritual figures set the tone for the deeply sacred atmosphere ahead. Entering deeper into the temple grounds, you’ll find yourself wandering through what feels like a mystical garden. It's beautifully designed yet slightly disorienting — some even call it magical. Without following the signs closely, it’s easy to lose your way. But trust your instincts, and you may be fortunate enough to meet the master himself — Kruba Aliyachart, the Peacock King. Meeting him is a calming and powerful experience. His serene presence brings an unexpected sense of peace and spiritual clarity. Wat Sang Keow is truly a hidden gem, blending mystery, culture, and devotion. Due to the abbot’s growing fame, the temple draws many international visitors, and meeting him is not guaranteed. Still, it’s a must-visit for any spiritual seeker in Chiang Rai.

There's a lot of maintenance going on here at the moment but even still: if you venture through the gardens and around the maintenance works this place is still very vast. When we arrived at 9am we were the only ones there which was both amazing and a little spooky :D

Beautiful temple complex with many life- size statues of historical and Buddhist figures with a massive large scale buddah, flanked by golden monks. If you go to change my you should take the day trip to Chiang Rai and Watsangkaew Phothiyan

If I were to make a Top Nine list of wats (temples), I would consider this one! Absolutely beautiful with the statues, buildings, Mountain View, and skywalk. They also have many amulets here. You can easily spend the day here walking around, reflecting, and in meditation. A must see location! #travelthailand

It was a very peaceful place, I liked the atmosphere. You can really relax and meditate here. Or you can read thought-provoking things on the signs by the trees. There are very few people, when we arrived we were completely alone, later of course we meet a few other people, but luckily there really aren't many. The mirrored structure in the woods, with the sound of the wind chimes beside it, is very captivating. Unfortunately the buildings weren't open, so I didn't get to see the exhibition or the Little Prince's House. I'm glad I found this park and recommend it to those who want to find some peace and quiet inside.

The great place to learn inside yourself. This place is a good place of meditative calm in Chiang Rai. This is a really open group to people from all meditation traditions and none, no matter which religions or gods you believe, this place still be a great space to learn, keep yourself be inspired.

Rai Chern Tawan Meditation Center, led by the revered Than W. Wachiramethi, is a haven of tranquility nestled in the lush greenery of Chiang Rai. My visit to this serene retreat left a lasting impression on me, offering a much-needed escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The moment I arrived, I was struck by the peaceful ambiance that permeates the entire center. Surrounded by verdant landscapes and meticulously maintained gardens, the center offers a perfect environment for meditation, reflection, and inner peace. The air is fresh, and the sound of nature all around creates a deeply calming atmosphere. The facilities are well-organized, with comfortable spaces for meditation and contemplation. The staff and monks are welcoming and provide guidance in a gentle, unobtrusive manner, making it easy for both newcomers and seasoned practitioners to find their rhythm. What stood out to me the most was the deep sense of calm that seemed to envelop the entire area. Whether you’re sitting by a quiet pond, walking through the shaded paths, or participating in a meditation session, the center encourages you to slow down and reconnect with your inner self.

Peaceful place. Full of Buddhist arts. Natural surrounding. Coffee shops is great. Perfect for mediation.

Very nicely designed and constructed. Love the calmness and peaceful atmosphere here. Great variety of food sold on site as well in case you need to grab a bite. Would love to come back to meditate here in the future.

No matter if you come to relax, meditate or just enjoy this place. The scenery is close to the hills and on the lake, and enough trees and lots of nature bring your mind to a mindful stage. You can also visit the art museum, some coffee shops and restaurants. It's easy for nature lovers to stay for some hours here. Buddhists might want to visit the monk to make some merits.

A remarkable complex currently hosting exhibits for the Thailand Bienniale. Amid a tranquil setting and lovely gardens, lie stunning sculpture and architectural/spiritual pavilions, as well as a collection of modern Korean ceramics. Definitely not to be missed as part of the Bienniale experience!

If you are thinking about doing this on a scooter then don’t. If you don’t have enough qualifications to rent a motorbike then you probably don’t have enough experience to do these roads. Didn’t help there were roadworks at some points throughout the journey which were half the road and really bumpy. The views yes, were amazing but just either get a proper motorbike and go as a tour or get a grab.

Beautiful place to visit in morning and evening. Can enjoy very scenic views around and can stop for a play in water on the way and can capture plenty of images with nature. Will enjoy the ride. During spring you will get to see beautiful birds around. Can stop of coffee and breakfast at hotels and get to see beautiful views from hotels. I had visited BC2 and had really great time with cup of coffe and my love.

Very low key doi in thailand, but offered me one of the most beautiful and relaxing experience. Many good coffee places and hotels/camp, an easy drive from Chiangrai

It's an amzing place to to see local nature, try local tea and coffee and watch sunsets. The drive is very scenic but the narrow road can be very challenging and fun.

Beautiful place but the weather sooo hot. Their beverages not special. Can feeds the sheep

Great place for stopby on the highway Chaingmai -Chaingrai. This Doi-Chang hill got there own endemic coffee ( Region coffee). So try doi-chang coffe once if you have a chance.

Quite and energetic place with amazing views.
