Top 32 things to do and attractions in Phrae

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.

First time visit here with family. The area is large. It’s very beautiful. If you don’t want to walk along the steps in the front, you can park the car in the back and use the steps or elevator which is not a long way.

One of the most iconic temples in Phrae! The golden pagoda is absolutely stunning—especially when the sunlight hits it. Peaceful atmosphere, beautiful Lanna-style architecture, and surrounded by lush greenery on a small hill. It’s a great place to walk around, make merit, and take in the views. No entry fee, easy parking, and usually not too crowded. Definitely worth a stop if you’re exploring Northern Thailand or doing a temple tour in Phrae.

The entrance is quite far from the expressway. It takes time to travel from the city quite a bit. But when you get to the temple, it's worth it. temple on top of mountain You have to walk up to the top. The pagoda is very beautiful, the whole pagoda is bright gold. The bell rang because he went early in the morning. as beautiful as the rumor

About 2hours and 40mins from Sukhothai..very nice and old temple on a mountain. Lucky they have lift to take you up from the carpark.m

A must when in Phrae. Lots to see. Shops were selling statues made from the old ubosot's roof when I was there. Very unique indeed. Also spiritually important for anyone born in a tiger year.

Wat (Temple) Phra That Phae Cho is an immensely peaceful Buddhist place of worship set atop a hill. Accessed by a (left as you walk up) set of 125 steps flanked by two beautifully tiled Dragon Snakes. The 33m Golden Stupa and the Prayer Hall adjacent to it are both, calmly soothing and meditational. One can also seek blessings from a presiding Buddhist Monk and join in prayer recitals in the latter. Or simply offer candles, incense sticks and a small hand-made conical bouquet of flowers along with their own prayer recitals by dropping a small donation of THB 20/person (£0.50p) into one of several boxes. Don't miss gonging the 33 or so large brass Bells with the Teak batons provided. We then descended on the opposite set of 86 (undecorated) steps back to the street. REMEMBER: This is a Place of Worship. Both genders must dress moderately and be prepared to take-off your footwear at the very top before entering a Sacred place.

Beautiful temple in Phrae. It's a great place to visit in winter when it's a bit cooler. There's beautiful nature and there are many hills around. Great for taking pictures.

No entry fees to observe this precious historical site. You could so some donation and they provide you with the alms flowers to pay respect the Buddha. This is a must go site if you travel Phrae. There is a Shan Momestry opposite of this place with differnt attractions.

Old wooden temple just across the Wat Sawan Niwet. A bid hidden behind the parking area and located in a pretty overgrown garden this beautiful old temple can be found. Expect to spend about 10-15 minutes here looking around the temple ground. I enjoyed my time here and this is still the first and only wooden temple I found in Phrae

A must visit cultural site in Phrae. Very beautiful and peaceful old style Burmese temple. I was the only one there when I visited except for the caretakers.

An ancient temple made of wood. You tell that the temple has gone thru centuries of human civilizations from the floor board. A must visit site if you are in Phrae.

Just one kilometer from town hall on Yontrakit Koson road is Wat Chom Sawan, a Burmese architectural style temple which combines hall for religious rituals and monk's living quarters. Antiques found here include marble Buddha statues, statues made from woven bamboos coated with lacquer and ivory sculpture slabs with Burmese scripts.

This​ Wat​ gets points for history. It must be preserved for the future Generations. The temple is not the most beautiful Teakwood Temple but it is historic and it is very well-preserved the side of the temple has been a temple for over 1,000 years obviously this beautiful wooden Temple could not be 1,000 years old but it is very old and it is worth a visit

A perfect example of a Burmese style temple easily recognizable by the roof. Sadly, it was undergoing renovations at the time of my visit. The interior is also recognizable as it is more square than a Thai style temple. The Buddha is made of bamboo and gilded. The temple is over 100 years old.

This is a great historical site with massive, impressive rocks that are fascinating to see. We didn’t spend much time there, but you can go to a viewpoint at the top and possibly take a short hike—though we didn’t have the right shoes for it. It’s a wonderful place to visit, and you likely won’t need more than 1-2 hours to explore it.

It’s a 100baht fee to enter the park (for a foreigner) and 30baht to park a car. There are paved trails and good signs. I was the only visitor at the time I visited. I enjoyed it. There are quite a few benches scattered about the area

Good parking, park had a food vendor that sells excellent Grilled chicken and other Thai dishes... Park was well signed and had clear walking paths... I would wear good walking shoes for this park.

All I can say is "cool rocks." There's not much more to see for a tourist but it's probably some geologist's dream destination.

really nice park with beautiful view. 100 bat entry per person.

Nice little park 100฿ for me but ฿20 for thai friends

Nice to walk through, good nature trail.

It was a magical experience for me! The temple is beautiful that it feels like it was just pulled out of Disneyland. Be ready to be mesmerized by the unique designs here.

Interesting temple with numerous fascinating structures. There is a 500 year old Buddha statue in the main hall. Pray to the golden turtle for good luck.

Beautiful temple . There is also a big Tortoise statue at the temple that worth for stopover . Nov 2024

Beautiful and shiny. It's a must see when visiting Phrae town. One of the best kept temple complexes I've seen in a while. You won't be disappointed. Right down the street from a bunch of bars and nightclubs too. Which is handy if you wanna crush a few beers after your search for enlightenment.

A newer temple within the old city of Phrae that is simply gorgeous. There is a more traditional looking Viharn but next to it is a magnificent multi-spire building. A reclining Buddha is outside in the open. A new giant turtle is currently being added to the complex. It within walking distance of several other sites in the old city.

Visit 26/3/2019 - Large turtle statue is a must see. Many other statues and shrines. Great artworks. Short walk from many other atractions.

Definately worth a visit if you are staying in Phrae. It is a beautiful collection of shrines and Lord Buddha statues. The architecture is quite different to other tempel sites. And beautifully white.

Very beautiful temple to visit in Phrae. Is it a must visit place ? Definitely yes. Here you will find everything from an impressive temple, big white Chedi, old wooden houses etc. I will define this as not being the most beautiful and spectacular temple ground in Phrae but still a must visit place when coming to this area of Thailand

Another ancient temple. There is an old gate that is situated inside the temple hall.

Wat Luang is a very old temple (however the current buildings are newer) with a main hall containing a bronze Buddha statue. The other notable building is the two-storey building containing a small museum. It is worth visiting when at Wat Luang. I enjoyed my visit and the TAT volunteer was very kind and helpful.

Less spectacular than its neighboring temple, but likely of more significance. And much older.

A big beautiful temple inside viang (the old town) built approximately 1200 years ago

Magic temple

Old and beautifully decorated

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

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

Doi Pha Klong National Park encompasses approximately 188.8 km² of steep limestone mountains and mixed forest in Phrae Province. The park is known for its distinctive rock formations at Maharaj Stone Garden, cave systems including Erawan Cave, and rich biodiversity—including deer, goral, bears, and diverse birdlife. Well-marked trails such as South Pha Klong offer moderate hiking with scenic viewpoints. Facilities include campgrounds, restrooms, and basic lodging. The park is open daily from around 05:00 to 19:00, with entry fees of THB 20 for Thai adults and THB 100 for foreign adults. Located on Highway 1023 at km 19–20 from Phrae towards Long. Ideal for hikers, nature enthusiasts, and families seeking geological wonders, cave exploration, and forest camping

Some interesting rock formations. There are nice facilities and numerous trails.

30min drive outside Phrea. Very interesting rock formations with a 300 meter walking path.

There is a really nice walk around 'coral hill'. But if you want go farther, just make sure to take a photo of map. When jungle part starts there are quite some roads leading nowhere, got lost there for a little bit !

Great walk through interesting rock features. Lots of nature to explore!

Beautiful and unusual. Huge rocks and stones among pine trees...

Nice place to camp friendly staff

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.

Nice temple in the city centre, when you are here, you should visit

Everything was good except one thing that I got bothered at the temple. As soon as I got into the main hall of temple, a monk who was sitting on the left side called me right away (it was a hint that he wanted me to give money (even I had to put it in a donation box) to go to him first. I couldn't refuse it because I would have been a freak if I did that to him). I basically just wanted to quietly and peacefully paid my respect to the buddha image in the hall by myself.

A little temple and a wonderful market all around

very high ceiling temple

This is one of the temple in Chiangmai which surrounded with nature environment.

Center of Phrae. Feel of real Thai temple, not touristy.

It's peaceful

A temple with shrines for Buddhists, mai ktly the local farmers here to pay respect to nature and Buddha. Has a bamboo bridge that gives a view of padi field on both sides. A MUST visit place if you in Phrae.

It took a long way to this place but we did enjoy the whole trip. We were lucky enough to visit the temple at the best season of the year, not too hot, not too cold, the rice terrace was at its best beauty. If you come, try the noodle shop inside the temple. She cooks it very simple but the taste is so good and unique, same name but totally different from what we tried in BKK. In her shop, everything is only from 10-35bath.

Terrific atmosphere, undercrowded and suprisingly peaceful.

Such a beautiful place, an absolute gem.

Marvelous peacful

(Translated by Google) 🌸Worship and admire the rice fields at Wat Nakhuha 🎋Wat Nakhuha in Phrae Province is a must-see destination for those seeking to worship and immerse themselves in the beautiful natural scenery. Located in Nakhuha Village, this temple is nestled amidst the mountains and pristine nature of Mueang Phrae District, renowned for its top ozone concentration in Thailand. A key attraction is the large Phra Chao Ton Luang (Buddha image) or Phra Chao Tan Jai (Buddha image) that stands prominently amidst the lush green rice fields. A bamboo bridge, locally known as "Khua Tae," extends from the image to the rice fields, allowing visitors to stroll along the rice fields and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. 🌼A visit to Wat Nakhuha combines making merit and paying homage to sacred objects with relaxing moments amidst the beautiful surrounding rice fields and mountains. Visitors can walk along the bamboo bridge to capture the picturesque scenery, especially during the rice-growing season, when the fields are lush and green. Occasionally, mist can be seen wafting over the mountainsides, providing a sense of true peace and replenishment. The temple grounds also feature community shops selling local products and souvenirs, such as grilled rice crackers and grilled coconut shells. You can also pick up some souvenirs to take home. 📍48H9+58R, Suan Khuean Subdistrict 📍Mueang Phrae District, Phrae 54000 #IndyTrip #SlothTrip #Nomyenyen #thailand #travel #onedaytrip #missnature #centralregionteam #waitingforthedaytotravel #familytrip #goodatmosphere #placestovisit #ThaistravelinThailand #travelinThailand #travelbytheway #cafereview #beautifulcafeshare #cafelife #mustvisitcafe #beautifulcafephoto #tripgiveawayfreeaccommodation #tripgiveawaydiscount #getdiscountwithoutluck (Original) 🌸ไหว้พระ ชมวิวทุ่งนา วัดนาคูหา 🎋วัดนาคูหา จังหวัดแพร่ เป็นจุดหมายปลายทางที่ไม่ควรพลาดสำหรับผู้ที่ต้องการไหว้พระและดื่มด่ำกับทัศนียภาพอันงดงามของธรรมชาติ วัดแห่งนี้ตั้งอยู่ในหมู่บ้านนาคูหา ท่ามกลางขุนเขาและธรรมชาติบริสุทธิ์ของอำเภอเมืองแพร่ ซึ่งขึ้นชื่อว่าเป็นแหล่งโอโซนติดอันดับของประเทศไทย จุดเด่นที่ดึงดูดผู้คนคือ พระเจ้าตนหลวง หรือพระพุทธรูปพระเจ้าทันใจขนาดใหญ่ที่ประดิษฐานอย่างโดดเด่นกลางทุ่งนาเขียวขจี โดยมีสะพานไม้ไผ่ที่ชาวบ้านเรียกว่า "ขัวแตะ" ทอดยาวจากองค์พระพุทธรูปไปตามทุ่งนา ให้ผู้มาเยือนได้เดินชมวิวทิวทัศน์และสัมผัสบรรยากาศอันเงียบสงบได้อย่างใกล้ชิด 🌼การมาเยือนวัดนาคูหาจึงเป็นการผสมผสานระหว่างการทำบุญสักการะสิ่งศักดิ์สิทธิ์เข้ากับการพักผ่อนหย่อนใจไปกับความงามของทุ่งนาและขุนเขาโดยรอบ นักท่องเที่ยวสามารถเดินบนสะพานไม้ไผ่เพื่อถ่ายภาพความประทับใจกับวิวทิวทัศน์ที่สวยงามราวกับภาพวาด โดยเฉพาะในช่วงฤดูทำนาที่ทุ่งนาจะเต็มไปด้วยสีเขียวขจี และบางช่วงอาจได้เห็นสายหมอกลอยคลอเคลียตามไหล่เขา เป็นการเติมเต็มพลังบวกและสัมผัสความสงบอย่างแท้จริง นอกจากนี้ บริเวณวัดยังมีร้านค้าชุมชนที่จำหน่ายสินค้าท้องถิ่นและของฝาก เช่น ข้าวเกรียบเตาและกะละแมเตา ให้ได้เลือกซื้อติดไม้ติดมือกลับไปเป็นที่ระลึกอีกด้วย 📍48H9+58R ตำบล สวนเขื่อน 📍อำเภอเมืองแพร่ แพร่ 54000 #IndyTrip #SlothTrip #Nomyenyen #thailand #travel #onedaytrip #คิดถึงธรรมชาติ #ทีมภาคกลาง #รอวันออกเดินทาง #ทริปครอบครัว #บรรยายกาศดี #ที่เที่ยว #ไทยเที่ยวไทย #เที่ยวเมืองไทย #เที่ยวไทย #เที่ยวตามทาง #รีวิวคาเฟ่ #คาเฟ่สวยบอกต่อ #ชีวิตติดคาเฟ่ #คาเฟ่ห้ามพลาด #คาเฟ่ถ่ายรูปสวย #Tripแจกที่พักฟรี #Tripแจกส่วนลด #รับส่วนลดไม่พึ่งดวง

(Translated by Google) Clear skies, no rain, and a wonderful atmosphere. A glimpse of the Buddhist way of life in Phrae. Here at Wat Nakhuha, a bamboo walkway through rice paddies on a hilltop is quite unusual. (Original) ฟ้าใส ปลอดฝน บรรยากาศดีมาก วิถีชาวพุทธเมืองแพร่ ที่นี่ วัดนาคูหา ทางเดินไม้ไผ่ผ่านนาบนดอย แปลกดี

This is a Thai-European house in pink color. As soon as you arrive at it, you will want to take a memorial photo with the house as the background first. Say cheese! Then upload it to your social media site and tag your friends. Take your time and wander around the place. Don’t hurry. You will want the smell of the history of this place to be absorbed into your mind first. If you and your friends are looking for an antique tourist attraction to check-in, don’t hesitate to go to this one. It’s in Phrae Province. Khum Vongburi was built hundreds years ago, based on the idea of Lady Bua, the wife of Piriyathepwong, the last ruler of Phrae. She wanted to provide it as a wedding gift of Lady Sunanda and Prince Phongpibul. The house looks relaxing with its color. There are carvings all over it. There are two levels. You and your friends are allowed to get inside to see what’s in there.

This is simply a stunning example of old Thai architecture. The house is surprisingly large and offers a glimpse into the life of the nobles during the last century. The museum is well maintained and very well appointed. There was a young girl (daughter of tge owners I surmise) who was walking with some visitos providing explanations of tge different items/rooms. This is a private museum with an entrance fee of ฿20. Do not miss this one!

Went there twice in the last 10 months to found out it’s close ( the gate was close we can see only the gates and fences . Not sure if they open to public or need to call ahead for a visit. They have the FB page show only wedding ceremony no information for visitor 🤔 I’m sure the place must be beautiful but if you not open to public why just said so I drove 300 I’m to see the place so disappointed ☹️

It is a nice, old house, well preserved. Very interesting history of the house and its owner. I am glad that they shared their story and allowed the tourists to visit.

A beautiful example of mixture between Lanna Thai and European architect in a pastel pink colour scheme. The residence was built by the Chinese Cantonese craftsmen specialised in wood crafting. Well preserved by the later generations of the house of Vongburi.

An European style building of the local rulers Very enjoyable tour around the the house to see how the rulers lived

Former residence of Chao Promsunanta Vongburi, heir of a former ruler of Phrae. Build in 1897 with strong European influences. Entry fee is Baht 30,- pp

A Hidden Natural Wonderland in Northern Thailand If you’re craving a true escape into untouched nature, Wiang Kosai National Park is an absolute dream. Located between Lampang and Phrae provinces, this national park is still relatively unknown to most tourists—which makes it even more magical. I visited recently, and it completely exceeded my expectations in every way. 🌲 Dense Forests, Waterfalls & Wildlife From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped by lush green forests, the scent of damp earth, and the sound of birds echoing through the trees. The park is covered with rich teak and mixed deciduous forest, giving it a wild, untouched feel. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel connected to the natural world. One of the highlights of my visit was the stunning Mae Koeng Luang and Mae Koeng Noi Waterfalls—multi-tiered falls with crystal-clear water cascading over smooth stones. There are well-marked trails that take you to each tier, and though the hike can get steep in places, it’s absolutely worth it. The views are breathtaking, and the sound of water rushing through the jungle is incredibly soothing. 🐒 A Place to Breathe, Reflect, and Explore I was lucky enough to spot monkeys, butterflies, and a variety of birds during my walk. The biodiversity here is impressive, and because it’s not overly commercialized, you can really enjoy the serenity without crowds or noise. There are also cool viewpoints scattered throughout the park—some offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, others hidden deeper within the trees where you can sit and take it all in. 🏕️ Camping & Facilities If you’re into camping, Wiang Kosai has designated camping areas with basic amenities. You can bring your own tent or rent one on-site. I didn’t camp this time, but I’d love to return and spend a night under the stars—it’s the perfect place for it. There’s also a visitor center near the entrance where the rangers are friendly and can help with maps or tips on where to go based on the season. 🚗 Getting There The park is best reached by car or motorbike. It’s about an hour from Phrae or Lampang, and the drive itself is scenic and enjoyable, especially as you get closer to the park boundaries and the mountains rise around you.

Wiang Kosai National Park protects approximately 410 km² of mountainous tropical forest in the Phi Pan Nam Range, spanning Phrae and Lampang provinces. Key attractions include the multi-tiered Mae Koeng Waterfalls (Luang and Noi), the Mae Chok Hot Spring, and scenic mountaintop viewpoints. The park supports rich forest ecosystems, home to muntjac, squirrels, diverse birdlife, and lush flora. Visitors can enjoy camping, guided woodland hikes, and swimming in natural pools. Facilities include a visitor centre, restrooms, simple food stalls, and camping grounds. Open daily from 08:00 to 16:30. Entry fee is approximately THB 200. Access is via Highway 101 → 11 to Wang Chin, followed by local roads. Ideal for peaceful nature escapes, forest bathing, and camping under cool northern skies.

Parks is closed until 1st of October 2023. Please update your working hours. We took a 3 hour trip here 😁

Only so so waterfall, nothing else...200 Bhat for foreigner

Very friendly ranger .. and awesome place to camp

Beautiful place...lot of yellow butterflys...paradise, wonderful feeling.

Friendly staffs, beautiful accommodations, peaceful and beautiful.

There are many shops selling the blue (indigo) dyed clothing on the main street, but finding a place where you can learn about the history of it, how it is made, I found impossible.

Not a village and the clothes are not handmade like it says on the internet they are all bought in big packages from a market in bangkok nothing traditional about the place at all you can get the same clothes cheaper in bangkok

We went there to look for the special blues coloured clothing and did find it Suitable to wear in Thailand.

Home of local indigo died clothing. Some beautiful creative designs

The best place to buy Phrae clothing and accessories

If you want to buy Mohom, you should go and visit Thung Hong.

Nice place to buy traditional cloths

An interesting and impressive display of magnificent structures. Plenty of various activities were performed. There were many visitors, some coming in tour coaches, while others flock in on foot or private transportation, to admire this marvel, or perform their rituals and prayers. The place was practically full of tourists that come from everywhere. Beautiful, and must see.

◽️Highlights & Must-Do: •Upside-down reflection of the stupa – Traditionally viewed inside the ordination hall (currently under renovation). You can still see it in the side viharn on the left; look carefully on the right-hand table once you step inside. •Circumambulation (Walking Meditation) around the stupa – The temple provides flowers, incense, and candles for offerings, for 20 THB for a donation. •Ancient Lanna murals – Located in an open viharn at the entrance, these are among the few surviving Lanna-style wall paintings in Thailand. •Bullet marks on the iron fence around the stupa, with interesting historical stories. 💰 Entrance Fee: 40 THB for foreigners.

On one hand it’s a must see of historical and cultural significance. On the other hand if you have limited time in Lampang it’s out of the way. A Grab from city center will cost you about 170-200฿ each way. Temple entrance fee for foreigners is 40฿ if the person collecting has change. The trip is about 30 min (over 20km) each way and you can see everything in less than an hour. So if you have 2 hours and 500฿ it’s worth going. Honestly it’s a bit underwhelming compared to other sights in Chiang Mai area. However, it is nice to stroll around and take in the ambiance.

A bit boring temple for tourist spot its have 1 of 12 chinese zodiac temple though. Though its not that bad to take picture and have a bit spot to take it. Its not around the city so need to spent 20 mins from city

Excellent place and great location. Wat Phra That Lampang Luang is an important historical site located in the ruins of the ancient city of Lampang. According to history, Queen Chamadevi once came to pay homage and has been renovating and repairing it regularly. It is considered an important temple of the city since ancient times. It is beautiful and has excellent architecture, sculptures, and paintings. It is the place where Phra Kaew Don Tao, which is highly revered, is enshrined.

Very lovely old temple and with google translate we could figure out what some of the prayers/blessings were all about. Some nice stalls and very friendly people all around. 40 baht visitor fee

Beautiful temple, well maintained and popular with locals. Well worth the detour on the way to Chiang Mai.

Cute cafe on the corner. Service was very friendly. Prices are fair. Also selling homemade spirits which were very interesting. Taste of the food was average. You won't be impressed but you won't be disappointed either. By noon they had already run out of several major ingredients. Overall it was ok for a breakfast place. Maybe not enough to draw me back again although I would like to try the yogurt someday. Who knows? Maybe I'll come back. Food presentation was good.

I was in there for breakfast this morning and it was very nice and reasonably priced, the coffee was very good overall it was a nice experience. The owner was showing me the local whiskey that they sell it's an interesting place and the staff were very nice. I've been to Phrae a couple of times and didn't know about this place but I will certainly eat there and have a coffee again maybe sample the whiskey next time. I can't comment on the rooms as I didn't stay there but that's a possibility next visit.

The Gingerbread House B&B is a welcoming cozy stay with a wonderful downstairs cafe, friendly staff and family. The family taught us the history of some of the locally made white spirits and after a tasting session we ended up buying four bottles of different types !. As I type this review I am now on stage 10 of a 20 stage cycling journey from Chiang Mai to Phuket and we have stayed at ten different lodgings including high priced ones in some towns. None of them have left us with a feeling of wanting to return to one day except for the Gingerbread B&B which is why we are taking the time out to write this review - great place, great team, great ambiance.

Not sure what was happening on our visit, but we were totally ignored by staff in an otherwise empty cafe.

Good: Short walk to street with food vendors; artsy rustic (teak board walls) room design; Boutique bathroom (for Thailand 5 stars); Good wireless; Relaxed Thai hospitality; Breakfast all day restaurant (not too expensive); AC very good; Easy ordering food and coffee to upstairs dining area or room service; Parking easy across street in police station parking lot Why only 4 stars? Room would be challenging to organize if you two large suitcases or a lot of luggage; A small microwave would be very convenient for reheating street food; A bit more expensive than many many comfortable places around town.

The most beautiful coffee shop in Phrae! The B&B is amazing; it’s absolutely worth the money! Everything is super clean and the bed is very comfortable. The owners and the staff are extremely kind. I’ve been here 3 times already and I highly recommend this place. You get two bottles of water for free and breakfast is included. You can also have lunch there. The quality of the food is really good. I love this place and go there as often as possible

Quaint B+B with all the right touches. The room is clean and elegantly decorated with a rustic feel while equipped with modern amenities like hot shower, mini bar fridge and kettle. Comes with a cafe where one can have breakfast or simply sip latte and watch the day go by. Lovely host couple who are proud Phrae residents who promote Phrae's local indigo products and artworks incorporated into the B+B space. Hosts are fluent in English and were really helpful in helping us get around. Lovely. Simply lovely.

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.

An okay temple to visit and I surely enjoyed my 10 minutes here but I still needed something this temple couldn’t give me. It’s beautiful and definitely worth a visit but it will never make it to a top 10 temple in this area. But if you are on a temple run of course you gotta see this also

This is a very historic temple dating back more than a thousand years. The oldest part being the 3 meter long reclining Buddha. Currently, under direction from the TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand), there are volunteers at the temple to assist visitors and provide explanations about the site.

Nice temple inside the street. Very calm and peaceful. Closes at 6pm

Another classical, gold and red Buddhist temple in the city of Phrae. There is a 9-meter long reclining Buddha statue hidden in the shrine in the back of main building. Next to stupa, there are some ancient bells. You can also find some beautiful paintings on the walls to the left, just after crossing the entrance gate.

It is an ancient temple - 1,100+ years old. There is a reclining buddha image separatedly situated behind the main hall which is special and different from other reclining buddha images in Thailand. This one represents the image at the time that the Buddha lay down before he passed away (you can find the difference by seeing at his right hand - flatting instead of supporting his head). It is a slightly different pose, and they claim that this is the only one image with the pose you can find in the country. At the temple, there was a person who was trying to advise me to do this and that which was fine and very kind of him, except when he was trying to forecast my past and my future. It was totally wrong. I don't know who he was, though.

Beautiful temple

Very interesting temple

A beautiful pillar shrine located close to the city centre. The temple like building that houses the pillar is small but beautiful. Definitely worth a visit when coming to Phrae.

Visit 26/3/2019 - City Shrine. Easy walk to many locations.

Charming place

The center point of the city. A traditional spot of importance in Thai cities.

Very beautiful small place!

Typical for local to visit and pay respect to the City Pillar whenever they have chance. Easy access and plenty of parking area around the Shrine.

City pillar of Phrae province. There are guardians as a shrine gate keeper , they looks are so interesting. Sleeping , Oops! they have two facial expression. Lovely. Sep_2017

We had the pleasure of staying at Baan Thep for two nights and it was a fantastic experience. As soon as you arrive the family make you feel so welcome - providing any help, advice, or assistance you need. Breakfast is cooked for you each day (we had chicken with ginger and Pad Ka Pow) and the family provided us with some great tips of things to see and places to eat whilst we stayed in Phrae. The rooms are at the back of the property and the rest of the area is a museum with many wood antiques. We had great fun staying here (and learning some new Thai words) and will certainly stay again when next in Phrae.

Stayed at the hotel here. It was great. The family that owns the place take care of you. Worthy of a stop on a walk/bike tour of the town. Worthy of staying at over night.

The friendly builder's and owners' son showed me around the two museum rooms full of old interesting things. It became even more interesting when he showed me one of their hotel rooms and the amazing, sprawling wooden communal area for hotel guests. That part of the house doesn't look any more like only a house, but like an accommodating wooden organism where you can hang out and enjoy the ambience. It was cool and agreeable, and I was told that even in the hot season at noon it would be a cool, breezy space, thanks to well planned cross ventilation

During Covid they are not officially open but you can ring the bell and take a look around this beautiful homestay with its remarkable collection of antiques. I didn't stay overnight but saw the bedrooms and they are beautiful so would certainly recommend it. Friendly and welcoming people, thank you!

Best antique artifacts in Prae. Most beautiful collection. For selected folks who value old stuffs. The owner collected all these for 40 years. Some virtuous spiritual energy inside. Worth the entrance fee paid. There were few homestay rooms too. The food was very good especially Kanom Jean Nam-Ngiew.

Baan Thep Museum is a recent addition to the list of cultural attraction in Phrae. This private museum, opened in December 2015, features a collection of antiques which Mr Thep, its owner, has collected for more than 30 years. The exhibits include Chinese pearl inlaid furnitures, a carved wooden bookcase with ivory frets, Chinaware, brasses, armours, frog drums, Lanna bells, porcelains, and ancient clocks. In the main hall, there is a fine sculpture of Rama I, the founder and the first monarch of the reigning House of Chakri of Siam. The exhibition, as well as a teak wood house in which the museum is located, allows visitors to experience ancient Lanna history and culture.

This is the uniqe and antique place. You can see the old house showing the interesting history in Phrae. I hope you see the son of the owner, who is very proud of his own family and tries to explain its story.

Again a temple in Phrae that just amazes me. Many temples in this city actually do. They have very different things to look at. This one had a long row of Buddha statues sitting with different hand gestures. Never seen that before anywhere. I think this temple is a temple that should be visited when coming to Phrae

(Translated by Google) Burmese temple built (Original) วัดพม่าสร้าง

(Translated by Google) I've been to Wat Sa Bo Kaeo since it was a simple temple. There is a Burmese style wooden temple in the middle and a pagoda in the distance. After ten years, I visited again in 2025 and was surprised to see the unusual growth in Thawornwat. Rows of Buddha statues enshrined along the fence can be seen from far away. When walking into the temple Meet the restoration work at Phra That Ku Kong Kham and the temple. Both painted and added many decorative statues. Newer construction includes a two-story building with a Burmese roof and an additional Buddha pavilion... It is considered to be a Burmese temple that has developed to perfection. Until it is a tourist attraction that visitors to Phrae often do not miss to visit...

The market is very big it must be 1km long but it's well worth a visit. There is some great food stalls there. There's also a few bars and restaurants you can visit, but go early as they sell out of food very quickly and it closes at about 9 pm.

It is the best night market I have visited in Thailand! Friendly, welcoming and feels very community centered. All the food appeared fresh and I tried as many as I could. Highly recommend visiting if around on the weekend.

Saturday night market is a traditional Thai gathering festival like carnival all in one place there are food deserts a beverage a snack and a various types of clothing shops along the street. It is a must go place for all locals and tourists.

Very nice Saturday night market with a lot of food and gifts. Also fresh vegetables and fruits.

very poppular in the evening street food paradise

What a wonderful night market. We had the best time. We tried new food strolling through the market on Christmas Eve. Great selection of food and great selection of goods for sale. So far - this is the best night market we have been to in Thailand. This market only happens on Saturday evenings. The event is several streets. Go hungry!

Small shops with a high quality regional food offering. Nice Market!

Wandered into a wee market area with tie dye craft workshops for free... So my daughter was in heaven!!! Some really nice handmade stores alongside the mass manufactured ones....

Very interesting market to buy all kinds of souvenirs, arts & crafts, enjoy delicious local food, or simply walking around watching people go by. Great place to learn a little about local culture.

Morhom blouses and other local clothes available in abundance. There are several other shops on this particular road worth visiting as well.

Local handy craft cotton and cheaper price if compare with bangkok

(Translated by Google) 27 Nov. '24, that day went to play in front of the temple. There will be a small stream flowing through. You can feed the fish and have a spinning boat to play with. The water is so cold that you can see tilapia and koi. The atmosphere is good because it is winter. It is a very peaceful village. There aren't many people. Nice place to camp But the entrance to the village felt like the road was very narrow. It's very difficult for cars to pass each other.

(Translated by Google) It is a temple located at the foot of a mountain. In front is the Mae Kon River. Behind is a mountain with Sri Na Tong Chedi on top. You can drive up to the pagoda area. The temple consists of several monasteries, a sermon hall and a museum telling stories about the lifestyle and history of Ban Na Tong. There is a viewing corner of Ban Na Tong on 2 floors where you can see the community clearly. Inside the chapel, there are mural paintings telling the story of the temple's construction through the cooperation of the public and private communities and the monks.

A very small and privately owned museum with small entrance fee of 50thb. They don't really have fixed opening hours or a staff on site but you have to call (which they have the number at the entrance) Pls note that most of the description are in Thai.

What a gem this is! This free museum details information about the Seri Thai (Thai Resistance) movement during WWII. It contains artifacts, stories, portraits and biographies. It is a little hard to find because it is behind a hotel but the location on Google Maps is accurate (see photo of the hotel entrance - drive through it for the museum).

Who has ample knowledge about the resistance in Thailand during WWII should definitely visit this place.

Completely empty upstairs though we'll cared for on outside. Found the secret pay 50bht at hotel reception and they unlock downstairs door to a historical treasure-well worth a visit highlight struggle for imperialist freedom from major powers. A few more translations would be very helpful but you certainly get the picture.

Whilst the effort that has been put into the museum is nice, there isn't a lot to see and English captions are very limited.

Mature Australian couple well travelled. This museum is a must when in Phrae. Small with good amount in English. Very educational on Thailand resistance WW 2 and how a group of dedicated individuals made Thailand the independent country it is today.

Interesting museum about the Thai resistance movement against the Japanese during the ww2. Cost is 40baht and you may have the museum for yourself 😝

Visit 25/3/2019 - Small Wat high on a mountain top with great views. For the best views suggest not Feb - May as smoke limits views. The steps up are a steep climb but even worse would be the steps up from the village below. Nice little temple, statues and shrines.

Beautiful temple with breathtaking view of Prae town and the mountains.

A small monument right on the highway. No information at the site.

Beautiful place
