Lost in the Mist #17: Exploring the Charm of "Na Naeo", a Village Shrouded in Mist

Embark on an adventure to 'Na Naeo', a charming village nestled amidst the mist.

Coordinates: Na Haeo District, Loei Province

-------

If the rainy season makes you feel gloomy, how about we go on a trip?

If someone tells you that this kind of weather makes you want to stay in bed and snuggle up, I'm here to tell you that you're missing out on some great things this season.

Following my intuition, I asked my brother to take me on a long road trip, starting from Bangkok and heading towards Loei Province. Our final destination was Na Haeo District, Loei Province, a village nestled amidst the mist in the heart of the mountains. Upon arriving, I was surrounded by breathtaking scenery, no matter where I turned. It was incredibly refreshing and invigorating, to say the least.

This remote village of Na Haeo, nestled on the Thai-Laotian border, is a small haven of natural abundance. Its tranquil atmosphere and untouched beauty make it an ideal destination for those seeking peace and rejuvenation amidst nature's embrace. Here, amidst the verdant rice fields, rolling hills, and misty mountains, one can find solace and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life. The simplicity of village life, with its friendly locals and unhurried pace, offers a unique opportunity to reconnect with nature and oneself.

This trip was all about adventure, so we were ready for any terrain. That's why we chose the Nissan Navara, a vehicle specifically designed for off-road enthusiasts. The new Nissan Navara, known as the "intelligent pickup," is the perfect companion for our adventure. Let's embark on a journey to discover where the Nissan will take us in Na Haeo.

The image depicts a group of people standing in front of a large building. The people are dressed in formal attire, and the building appears to be a government or corporate office. The image is likely from a news article or website.

Our journey began with an evening departure from Bangkok, arriving in Loei province just as dawn broke. We were greeted by a thick blanket of fog, a promising sign for our upcoming adventure. This auspicious start assured us that our trip to Na Haeo wouldn't be a disappointment, as the fog seemed to welcome us with open arms.

As you drive into Na Haeo district, the atmosphere is breathtaking. Dense fog envelops you, creating a surreal driving experience amidst a sea of mist.

As mentioned, this trip will involve a lot of off-roading, so my trusty vehicle needs to be able to handle the terrain. The new Nissan Navara is the perfect companion for this adventure. Not only is it built for tough conditions, but it also comes equipped with advanced technology that will help us reach our destination, no matter how challenging the road. With a powerful 190-horsepower engine, a 7-speed automatic transmission, and the option to switch to manual mode, the Navara is ready for anything.

No need to worry about the sound system either. When driving long distances, we need to play some music to match the travel atmosphere. We can easily connect the car's audio system to our mobile phones and listen to music throughout the trip.

We are approaching Na Haeo district. No need to worry about getting lost this time, as the Nissan Navara comes equipped with GPS. This will make the journey much easier.

With the car ready and, more importantly, with our own spirits even more prepared, we were excited from the moment we started the engine in Bangkok. Let's explore and check in on the must-visit spots when traveling here.

01: Reforest Coffee

Coordinates: Located on Route 1268, 500 meters beyond Huai Mun Reservoir.

-------

The First Stop: Reforest Coffee

My first stop is Reforest Coffee, a café with a mission. The name, which translates to "Forest-Building Coffee," reflects the establishment's commitment to supporting local farmers and promoting sustainable practices. More than just a coffee shop, Reforest Coffee is part of a larger initiative aimed at creating jobs and restoring forests, aligning with the vision of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The image depicts a group of people gathered around a table, engaged in a lively discussion. They appear to be students or colleagues, collaborating on a project or brainstorming ideas. The atmosphere is one of intellectual curiosity and shared purpose. The table is covered with papers and notebooks, suggesting that the group is actively engaged in their work. The image conveys a sense of energy and enthusiasm, as well as the importance of teamwork and collaboration in achieving academic success.

02 : Tharn Sawan Waterfall

Coordinates: Located behind Na Haeo Witthaya School, approximately 2 km from the district.

------

Next, let's head to **Than Sawan Waterfall**, nestled within the Phu Kradueng National Park. This waterfall offers a refreshing escape, inviting visitors to swim or simply relax amidst its lush surroundings.

Let's go… If you want to go all the way, then why are you walking into the tall grass? I don't really understand myself either. 5555+

Next, it's time to find accommodation. We hopped into the Nissan Navara and continued our journey. The car is spacious and comfortable, and most importantly, it has air conditioning for the passengers in the back. If you have a lot of friends, you can all come along without worrying about being uncomfortable, hot, or fighting over the air conditioning. This car will keep everyone cool and comfortable.

03 : Na Haew Resort

Coordinates: Link to coordinates

------

After driving around looking for accommodation, we finally found a place we liked. It's called Na Haew Resort, and it's right in the middle of nature.

There are many types of rooms to choose from, but the best one is probably the newly built house called 'Baan Somna', which offers a beautiful view of the rice fields. The atmosphere in the house is also very hip and warm. The price for this type of room is 2,000 baht per night, but it can accommodate up to 4 people, so it only costs 500 baht per person. I think this house has the feel of a dream house. It's simple, but it has a view of nature. You don't need to decorate it much. Just use white and wood colors and make the beautiful view of the rice fields the main furniture of the house. In addition to the two main beds downstairs, there are also two more beds on the mezzanine floor, which offers a high-angle view. It feels like an attic room. Come and see for yourself. You'll definitely love it.

06 : Huai Nam Phai

Next, let's visit the reservoir at #Huai Nam Phai. During the hot season, the atmosphere is different, with people rafting on bamboo rafts and playing in the water. However, during this time, you will get a peaceful feeling with the lush nature. The reservoir is surrounded by mountains.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

The access road to this destination is a steep, unpaved dirt track, offering an adventurous experience. While not suitable for most passenger cars, the Nissan Navara pickup truck makes it a breeze. Its Hill Start Assist system prevents the vehicle from rolling back when starting on an incline, while the 360-degree surround-view camera provides a comprehensive view of the surroundings, enhancing convenience and safety.

Although we may encounter difficulties parking in tight spaces or driving in narrow alleys where cars barely pass each other in our daily lives, the 360-degree surround view camera eliminates these obstacles. No matter how narrow or small the path, it will no longer be a problem. We no longer have to worry about collisions or accidents, nor do we have to constantly look back, as we can now see everything through the screen. This makes our lives much easier.

07: Tad Hueang Waterfall

Coordinates: Phu Suan Sai National Park

-------

The Tad Heuang Waterfall, also known as the Thai-Lao Friendship Waterfall, is part of the Heuang River, which forms the border between Thailand and Laos. It is a large waterfall that flows from a cliff about 30 meters high. For those who visit the waterfall during the rainy season, you will not be disappointed with the amount of water, but it may not be suitable for swimming. However, we can still stop by to admire its beauty.

This is another waterfall attraction that you can visit. There is water flowing all year round. If you visit during the rainy season, there will be more water. However, before entering the park, it is recommended to check with the park officials for safety reasons.

Nestled in the tranquil embrace of Na Haeo, a quaint district, the local market exudes an aura of serenity, reflecting the simple way of life that prevails here. This idyllic setting serves as a gateway to the Thai-Lao border at Ban Muang Phrae, where a unique spectacle unfolds. Logs are transported across the river separating the two nations using a rudimentary system of ropes and人力, creating a scene both captivating and symbolic of the region's ingenuity.

On the way back, you will encounter the **"flower tree"**, a unique tradition practiced by the villagers, the only one of its kind in Thailand. The ceremony is usually held during Songkran, a Thai New Year festival, and serves as a merit-making ritual for the well-being of the villagers. The flower tree has also become a symbol of Na Haeo district.
