Phayao Lake - Northern Thailand

Kwan Phayao is situated in Mueang Phayao District in Phayao Province. It is the biggest fresh water lake in Northern Thailand and the fourth biggest in Thailand after Bueng Boraphet, Nong Han Lake and Bueng Lahan. The word “kwan” in Thai dialects means “lake”. Kwan Phayao is a natural lake with a mountain range in its backdrop. The source of water in the lake is from 18 streams. Its water volume per year is 29.40 million m3 in average. Over 48 species of freshwater fish are found in the lake, which covers an area of 12,831 rai. The scenery that is natural and captivating for visitors is the reason why it is renowned to be the heart of Phayao Province.Restaurants as well as parks for people to relax are found in the area. In the past, Kwan Phayaowas an alluvial plain with the long winding path of Ing River running from the north to the southeast of the plain. There were also ponds of different sizes and water channels that flow down from Khun Kao DoiLuang and connected, making the plain fertile. Since then, many people came to settle in the areaand formed a community.In the middle of the lake, historical remains of a submerged temple known as “Tilok Aram Temple” built during the reign of King Tilokarat are found. On the full moon day of the 3rd, 6th and 8th lunar month or also known as Maka Bucha Day, Visakah Bucha Day and Asalha Bucha Day, a candle light procession (Wien Tien) in Phayao Lake takes place at dusk. People make offerings of flowers, incense and candles on the boat that circles the temple for three times to worship the Buddha image of Luang PorSila. Kwan Phayao during these times is remarkable with the colors of the sky, shining candle lights that reflect in the water on full moon night. The incomparable atmosphere of being by the lake makes Mueang Phayao another place worth visiting. You will feel content to participate in the ceremony and to see the beautiful culture and traditions that the locals have preserved.

The Mysterious Sunken Temple of Phayao Thailand

Bob rides a flat-bottomed row boat out to visit the site of a 500 year old sunken temple, Wat Tilok Aram.

There is a Buddha image, a prayer tree, temple bells, incense candles and lotus blossoms, as well as lake birds. A peaceful reflective trip to a venerable old site of pilgrimage.

กว๊านพะเยา Payao Lake

Payao Lake
The city of Phayao is located at the Phayao lake (Kwan Phayao) in the valley of the Ing River. Three big mountains surround the valley, the Doi Luang (1694m) Doi Khun Mae Fat (1550m) and Doi Khun Mae Tam (1330m). The lake is fed by the Ing River, which empties to the north, and to a lesser degree by the Tam River, which empties into the south of the lake. At the east the lake empties into the Ing River, which then flows to the Mekong. To the south and west of the lakes are rice paddies, at the mouth of the Ing River is marsh area.
The main aquatic plants in the lake are Najas graminea and Ceratophyllum demersum. 22 species of fish are recorded for the lake, most dominant are the artificially introduced Nile Tilapia (Tilapia nilolica) and the Climbing Perch (Anabas testudineus). Also 47 bird species were found at the lake in a survey in 1982.
The lake was created in 1939 to improve irrigation in the area. It was added to the list of 61 most important wetland areas on August 1, 2000. There are currently plans to restore the ancient temple Wat Tilok Aram dating back to the end of the 15th century, which was submerged during the construction of the lake.
