Happiness that doesn't need to be sought, just look for it and you will see it. Sila Phet Community, Pua District, Nan.

For city dwellers with a slow and leisurely pace of life, whether it's raining in the morning on the way to work or in the evening after work, the unintentional slow life of city dwellers ^_^ I would like to give myself the opportunity to refresh my body, get close to nature, and truly relax and enjoy a slow life.

Nan Province is the perfect destination. Nan, a charming city with friendly people and a relaxed atmosphere, allows you to let time pass slowly. Enjoy nature-based tourism, local culture, and delicious and healthy food. Travel Nan slowly, travel Nan leisurely, travel Nan for a long, long time :)

This time, we'll take you on a rustic, down-to-earth journey through the mountains and verdant rice fields of the Sila Phet community in Sila Phet Subdistrict, Pua District. When it comes to vast, verdant rice fields, Pua District is the place to be. It's a true landmark, with the majestic Doi Phu Kha mountain range as a backdrop. With rice fields, rivers, and mountains, there's no chance of getting bored during your two-day, one-night stay.

Sila Phet Subdistrict is located approximately 60 kilometers from Nan city center, about a 1-hour drive. Search for the coordinates of "Sila Phet Homestay" on your GPS for easy navigation. You won't get lost! :)

Upon arrival at Silapetch Homestay, Uncle Somkiat, the owner, warmly welcomed us. To kick off our trip, Uncle Somkiat took us to pay respects at the Shrine of Luang Pu Kha, located beneath a centuries-old banyan tree in front of the homestay where we were staying.

When the sun is less intense and the wind has died down, you can take a leisurely bike ride to the market and explore the local community and rice fields. The homestay provides bicycles for you to use, but they do not have gears. Please ride at a moderate speed and be careful.

Let it be vibrant green, refreshing, so that you can ride as far as you want without getting tired.

This pristine natural environment is also home to an abundance of rice field crabs, which are used to make **nam pu**, a crucial condiment in northern Thai cuisine.

I made new friends with my girlfriend's gang. The kids also came to exercise and play.

The atmosphere before the sun sets, with clouds, mountains, and smoke.

I love moments like this. Can I stay here forever? Don't let me go ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ In the city life, we don't get to see this. We don't need to change anything to follow the trend. Instead, we should adapt to nature and live in harmony with it.

After a day of travel, we had some time to relax before the evening ceremony. The Lahu people welcomed us with a traditionalบายศรีสู่ขวัญ ceremony, which involved blessings, tying of ceremonial strings, and the removal of negativity. It was a heartwarming experience that left us feeling peaceful and ready for a good night's sleep.

This morning, we woke up to a rustic atmosphere. The sound of roosters crowing served as our alarm clock, accompanied by the voices of vendors selling their wares at the local morning market. Around 6 am, monks arrived for alms. Uncle Somkiat prepared offerings for us to put in their alms bowls, or we could buy additional offerings at the market.

We then strolled through the village market, where we shopped for fresh, pesticide-free food straight from the farms and gardens.

Let's visit Sila Phet Waterfall later this morning! It's best to arrive early to avoid the crowds, as it tends to get busy around noon and into the afternoon.

The water level was high and the current was strong during our visit, so please be careful not to slip while walking around.

A must-try when visiting Sila Phet is Aunt Pen's Khao Lam. Witness the traditional Khao Lam making process firsthand, just 3 kilometers from the accommodation.

The provided text is empty. There is nothing to translate.

Aunt Pen offers a wide variety of sticky rice fillings, beautifully packaged and easy to carry. Prices and phone numbers are listed on the sign. Please call ahead to order, as supplies are limited and made fresh daily.

At Aunt Pen's house, there is also a fresh coffee shop where you can buy coffee to drink with sticky rice. It goes well together, depending on your preference.

Next, we headed to Wat Si Mongkol, which boasts a stunning coffee shop and panoramic rice field views.

Wat Si Mongkhon is a century-old temple, a popular destination for tourists to worship. The view behind the temple is also beautiful, overlooking the Doi Phu Kha mountain range.

Regardless of whether they are monks or lay people, everyone must stop by and stroll across this bamboo bridge in the middle of the rice field.

We also found our own beautiful angles. Even though our necks were sore, it was still worth it. ^_^

After enjoying the atmosphere, we returned to the homestay to collect our belongings and take a look around the surrounding area.

The house is cool and shady with trees, and the bedrooms have mosquito nets so you can sleep soundly without being bitten.

This is called "gawlut," freshly picked from the tree in my backyard. It's a different variety from the ones they roast and sell. When you boil the fresh gawlut seeds, they have a delicious, nutty flavor.

The backyard boasts the Yaung Stream, which originates from the Sila Phet Waterfall. What could be better than having a stream flowing through your backyard?

It's time to go home. We would like to thank the kind uncle and aunt who took care of us like their own children and grandchildren. Sila Phet Community is another option for visiting Nan. You can visit Nan for as long as you want, depending on your time and budget. Especially during the rainy season like this, it will be a million times better. You will experience light rain, light fog, and cool, refreshing air.
