Why Phayao?
Phayao ain’t your typical tourist spot, and that’s what makes it special. Picture this: a massive lake reflecting mountains, temples tucked in forests, and ruins whispering tales from centuries ago. It’s got nature, culture, history—all without the crowds. You’ll pedal through rice fields, taste fresh grilled fish, and maybe learn to weave a basket in a village. From the submerged Wat Tilok Aram to the quirky art of Wat Huai Pha Khiang, every stop’s got a story. Plus, the locals? Warm as the Thai sun.
Explore the tranquil beauty of Kwan Phayao, the largest freshwater lake in Northern Thailand. Enjoy a scenic boat ride to Wat Tilok Aram, the submerged temple, and visit the Pho Khun Ngam Muang Monument. End the day with a leisurely walk along the lakefront, soaking in the sunset views.
