🙏👏☺ Finally, I have achieved something I have been thinking about doing for years but never started: creating a travel page. Every time I travel and encounter the vast world, I capture my memories and photos at various locations, like a personal diary to look back on. This time, I want to try something new, hoping that fate will play a trick and turn my life into the traveling adventure I have always dreamed of.

👨🏃. I had the opportunity to take a kind-hearted senior citizen, who doesn't need to carry an ID card, on a 4-day, 3-night trip on Highway 101, which passes through the provinces of Phrae and Nan, all the way to Pua district. Normally, I'm not very familiar with going up north to visit temples, but this time I'm really glad I came. The provinces of Phrae and Nan each have their own charm, with beautiful photo spots to capture.

If you enjoy a slow-paced lifestyle and leisurely bike rides, this is a must-visit destination. There are many other places I would have loved to explore, but due to the physical limitations of my companions, we were unable to do so.

Oh, I forgot to mention! They call me "Owl".

Thank you very much.

Our destination for today is a journey to the main locations of Phrae, Nan, and Pua District. Before we start our journey to Route 101, there is one place on our way from Bangkok that we should stop by, which is "Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat Woramahawihan", the temple where the "Phra Buddha Chinnarat" is enshrined. Therefore, we would like to pay our respects for good luck.

🚗……. I have finished praying for blessings and am now starting my journey to Phrae Province.

During the first day of our trip, we encountered an obstacle: the car's air conditioner broke down. This was a major setback, as we had to drive for almost two hours with the windows open. We stopped at several repair shops along the way, but it seemed like it would take at least two hours to fix the air conditioner. I decided to continue driving to Phrae, hoping that we could find a place to stay and let the elderly passengers rest while we looked for a repair shop.

First Night in Chiang Mai: A Budget-Friendly Stay with a Swimming Pool

On my first night in Chiang Mai, I opted for the budget-friendly Vieng Phumin Hotel. Despite its affordable price, the hotel was clean, modern, and even boasted a swimming pool. Its convenient location allowed me to walk to Wat Chom Sawan temple. Fortunately, an air conditioning repair shop was situated nearby, proving to be a lifesaver. While I was grateful for the quick fix, I couldn't help but wish the AC hadn't broken down in the first place. Unfortunately, I was too busy enjoying the pool to take any photos of the hotel.

The next bright morning. 😁

Today's itinerary includes a light sightseeing and photography tour of Phrae town before heading to Nan province. The plan includes visits to:

  • Kum Luang: The residence of the former rulers of Phrae.
  • Kum Vongburi: A traditional teakwood house museum showcasing the lifestyle of the Phrae elite.
  • Phra That Cho Hae: A revered Buddhist temple with a golden stupa and panoramic views.
  • Ban Tung Hong: A renowned shopping destination in Phrae, famous for its distinctive "Mor Hom" silk garments.

Our first stop will be the Lord's Mansion, which served as the residence of the rulers of Phrae in the past. It has been preserved and opened to the public for sightseeing.



After visiting and taking photos in Phrae city and shopping for Maohom fabric, we continued our journey to Nan province. According to the original plan, we were supposed to take photos in Nan city as well, but due to time constraints, I decided to change the plan and head straight to Pua district.

🚗...We departed from Phrae and arrived in Pua District around 5 pm. Today, we will be staying at "Pua De View Boutique Resort." From what I've gathered, it has only been open for a year. The accommodation is brand new, and the views are incredible. It can be considered a "hundred-baht accommodation with a million-baht view." Upon arrival, we checked in at the resort. The resort also has a swimming pool. The view from the pool is breathtaking...hehe.

After checking in to our accommodation, it was time to find something to eat. Haha…haha…haha… But before we went to find something to eat, we still had a little time. I took the opportunity to stop by one of the famous places in Pua district, "Wat Phukiet". Here you will see a beautiful high-angle view of the rice fields. Actually, from Wat Phukiet, you can walk down to take pictures in the rice fields. There is both accommodation and a coffee shop called "Tub Na Tai Lue". But with my quality team, our physical condition was not up to it, so we could only take pictures from above…sad.


Watermelon, bowl, pot, salad, cocktail,🍹......😍🤣

And then it was time for our meal in Pua district. I spent some time searching the internet for famous restaurants. In the end, I decided to eat at "Krua Linda", a local restaurant with reasonable prices. Most importantly, the food was delicious. I ate there until the day I left. PS. The waitress was very sexy... I don't believe it, haha haha.

🌞🕗… Morning of Day 3 of the Trip

This morning, I woke up very early to capture the breathtaking views before checking out of our accommodation. Today's plan is to explore the lush forests of Wang Na Pua, shop for traditional Nan fabrics, and then continue our journey to Nan province.

After checking out, we headed to Wang Nam Pua, a restaurant located by a stream. We were able to sit and eat on a floating raft. When we called ahead, they said they opened at 9 am, but the owner told us we could bring our own food and eat there while we waited for the kitchen to open. We decided to just take some photos instead. If you have the chance to visit, you won't be disappointed. The water is cool, and you can relax on the raft. It's very chill.

After a relaxing time by the river, the next stop that our senior citizens requested was a shopping place in Pua district, "Lam Duan Woven Fabric". Here, there will be a variety of local style clothes to choose from. Let's go and visit!

🚗.......Finally, it's time to travel to Mueang District, Nan Province.

Our plan for today is to capture as many photos as possible at various locations before departing tomorrow.

Nan is a charming city with stunning scenery. The atmosphere is so inviting that it's hard to put into words. Upon arrival, we made the most of our time by exploring various locations and taking pictures before checking into our accommodation. In the evening, we enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the bustling night market.


This night, we are staying at "Wiang Phumin", another budget accommodation. It is located near the walking street, within walking distance from our accommodation. This time, we are traveling without spending more than a thousand baht per night for accommodation.

The restaurant where we will be having dinner tonight.

The final day of our journey has finally arrived. Today, we will capture a few more sights before embarking on our return trip to Bangkok. Thank you to everyone who has followed our travelogue. Please stay tuned for more updates.
