Nan Bang, Thailand has three treasures: horse carriage parade, chicken pot, and stir-fried minced meat with chili and basil. "Fragrant Meat Kitchen" is the world champion of Thai fried rice. The handmade chicken bowls in the Danbodi Ceramic Museum can make 30 chicken bowls per person every day. The carriage shuttles through Sam Phran, the old trading street when the Chinese migrated to northern Thailand. #City Humanities Notes
It takes an hour to drive from Nan Bang to Nan Phung. When not splashing water, the small town in northern Thailand is wrapped in tradition, art, and food. The coffee at papacraft cafe is certainly good, but the real highlight of this art shop lies in the handmade and creative inspiration. Two generations of artists, father and son, combine local natural gems and leather to create unique jewelry and artworks. #Niche Discovery Society
As a transit point in northern Thailand, Nan Phung can easily obtain fresh ingredients from the ocean, so the seafood barbecue here has become a feature of urban cuisine. The "invasion" of foreign culture and materials, including seafood, is accepted, reduced, and sprouted into new local good things here. #Ancient towns and villages worth visiting
In the suburbs of Nan Bang, a large Buddha statue that looks exactly like the Great Buddha of Kamakura sits on the top of the mountain. It is also called the Thai version of the Great Buddha of Kamakura. The Terracotta Garden in Nan Bang, which was rebuilt from an old kiln, is both a restaurant and a cultural center. The owner said: At first glance, it looks like Angkor Wat, but it is completely based on local elements.

I have found another fun check-in spot in Thailand! This time I went to a niche check-in spot around Chiang Mai - Nan! . [Travel experience] 1⃣️ Take a horse-drawn carriage to visit Sam Phran Sitting in a horse-drawn carriage to visit the city scenery, the breeze blowing on your face, it is very comfortable, and you can also see the old trading district where the Chinese used to trade 2⃣️ Make handicrafts in papacraft There are many small shops with characteristics and atmosphere in Nan. The design of the one we went to is so amazing. I love many things. You can make handicrafts and drink coffee. The environment is so chill. The bracelets made under the guidance of the boss are also very good~ 3⃣️ Ceramic painting handmade experience Visit the Danbodi Ceramic Museum to learn how the rooster bowl is made, and then you can make a special rooster cup in the handicraft workshop. I drew a super fat chicken. It is not good-looking but commemorative, haha 4⃣️ Phra That Tao Pagoda in Chiang Rai Province The Thai version of the Great Buddha of Kamakura, with a torii gate at the foot of the Buddha, a great place to take photos and check in . [Food Recommendation] 🍃 Fragrant Meat Kitchen ครัวเนื้อหอม ลำปาง (แชมป์กะเพราเนื้อประเทศไทย) 🥇This is the real champion of the paan, many Thai foreigners will come to check in, the dishes on the menu are not bad, the paan is unique, and the raw beef recommended by the chef is also delicious (sweet and sour). . 【About accommodation】 This time I stayed at the Bangkok Hotel in Bangkok, which is in the city center and is very close to Central World and the Erawan Shrine. . 【Transportation】 You can fly directly to Chiang Mai from China, and you can fly from Bangkok to Chiang Mai and then drive there. This time I took Bangkok Airways from Bangkok to Chiang Mai, a unique Thai local airline. The Platinum Lounge is very nice~ .

Because of Thailand's Songkran Festival, I unlocked a new town: Nan Province. Here, horse-drawn carriages are still preserved, and the sound of horse hooves awakens the sleeping streets; The pottery kiln is firing handmade products that have been passed down for hundreds of years... Because of a "rooster", I remember this place thoroughly. From Nan to Bangkok, enthusiasm and blessings are poured all the way. The holy water ceremony in Nan is as distant as the ancient tunes of Lanna, while the street carnival in Bangkok is as unrestrained as a modern symphony. The splashing water also reflects the dual charm of Thai culture: There is both the quiet and beautiful precipitation of handicrafts and the fresh vitality of festivals. I like this rhythm of tension and relaxation!
