#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck #100WaysToTravel #KwanPhayao #VisitKwanPhayao For those who visit Phayao Province, another place that should not be missed is KwanPhayao, located in Mueang Phayao District, Phayao Province. It is the largest freshwater lake in the North. The word "Kwan" in the local language means "lake". It was created by the Department of Fisheries. They built a water gate to provide people with water to use in the dry season and in the rainy season. It prevents the water from flowing too hard to flood the orchards and farms downstream. It is located in the center of Phayao City. There is a mountain range as a backdrop of mountains and the sun. In the evening, sit back and relax, walk and watch the sunset by the lake. It is a beautiful sight. Another thing

#WinterTravel Phu Langka National Park is another famous tourist attraction in Chiang Kham District and Pong District, Phayao Province. It is located in the Nam Puey National Forest Reserve, Nam Yuan National Forest Reserve and Nam Lao National Forest Reserve, and Mae Yom National Forest Reserve, covering an area of ​​approximately 7,800 rai. With its complex mountaintops, it is ideal for nature-loving tourists who enjoy hiking to conquer high peaks and enjoying the scenery during the winter. There is also a beautiful sea of ​​mist viewing point at Magic Mountain Cafe, which also provides accommodation. Those who do not stay here can come into the cafe to sip coffee and enjoy the view. During the rainy and cold seasons, there is a sea of ​​mist almost all the time. You will be able to see the sea of ​​mist along with Pha Chang Noi, which is the unique feature of this spot. Getting to Magic Mountain Cafe is not difficult. There are some steep roads, but the roads are good and all types of vehicles can come here.

#Recommended accommodation For those who are going up north, stopping by Phayao for a night to worship Buddha or relax by the lake, I recommend A:BIZZ Hotel. The hotel is quite new. There is a buffet breakfast, but the price is separate from the room rate, 80 baht per person. The room price is cute, 690 baht for the city view side and 790 baht for the lake view side. The room may not look very big, suitable for a stopover and for working people or staying for 1-2 nights before continuing to travel up north. The room has complete equipment, a desk to work on, the bed is not hard, it is comfortable to sleep on, but it is not as soul-sucking as expensive hotels. The pillows are good, you won't have a sore neck. Overall, this price is very good. The hotel has bicycles for you to borrow. There is a lot of parking, about 30 cars, in 3 spots around the hotel building. The air conditioner is brand new, definitely cool, but the shower water flows at a normal level, it may not be very strong, but other hotels in this area have water flowing at the same level as well, so I think it is more of a problem with the area. The staff are lovely and attentive. Near the temple. If you come to Phayao, you should come to pay homage. Many temples, such as Wat Phra That Chom Thong, Wat Sri Kom Kham or Kwan Phayao I recommend staying here. It's also convenient to travel. #trip #hotelreview #Phayao #point out cheap and good hotels #ABizzHotel #ABIZZHotel #nice hotel

Beautiful! Tired! Worth it! This trip, I tricked my friends into going hiking, pretending it was an easy and relaxing walk, but it turned out to be very tiring!!! The surprising thing is that there were leeches all along the way. Anyone who thought of sitting and relaxing will immediately encounter leeches😂 There is only one area with water, which is that you have to walk down to the other side of this mountain to get water. And the whole way is very slippery, the way is very steep. It is best to use the water to its fullest potential. Throughout the way, there will be fog everywhere, making it difficult to see the way at intervals. There are easy walks and gradually steeper walks. This trip, there are no porters, only local guides. We have to help carry the communal food. The air up there is cool and comfortable. Don't forget to sit by the fire to warm up your body before going to bed. 🔥 ❌Warning: Choose only necessary clothes. 🤣 #NatureAttractions #Hiking #HikingThailand #Climbing #DoiLuangDoiNokPhayaoNationalPark #PhayaoAttractions #Phayao

This temple was built by King Tilokarat of the Lanna Kingdom in Chiang Mai, who ordered Phraya Yuthithira, the Lord of Phayao, around 2019-2029, which is likely to have created an ancient community during that time. Later, in 2482, the Fisheries Department built a floodgate in Kwan Phayao to store water, which eventually caused many temples to be submerged, including Wat Tilokaram, which was submerged in Kwan Phayao for more than 68 years. To travel to pay homage to Luang Pho Sila at Wat Tilokaram, you must take a passenger boat to Wat Tilokaram. There will be an alms-giving activity at the pier. While sailing to pay homage to the Buddha image, we will be able to see the beautiful, spacious Kwan Phayao. On important Buddhist days, such as Makha Bucha Day, Visakha Bucha Day, and Asalha Bucha Day, tourists who visit here will be able to watch a candlelight procession in the middle of the water around the Phra That Chedi Wat Tilokaram in the middle of Kwan Phayao, which is considered the only candlelight procession in the middle of the water in the world. (Information from TAT) . Tourists can take a paddle boat every day from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. The round trip from the pier to Wat Tilokaram takes approximately 15 minutes. 📌 Location: Wat Klang Kwan Buddhist Center, Mae Sai Subdistrict, Mueang District, Phayao 56000 📌 Location: https://goo.gl/maps/jNE5nvppiFTJdDjA8 #Phayao #VisitPhayaoWat

There are also many small ponds and many canals flowing down from Doi Luang Mountain and connecting to each other. This makes this river plain very fertile and has been settled in communities since ancient times. #MissingNature #SecretLocation #RecommendDeliciousRestaurant
