Phetchabun, Thailand the Top Things To Do
Owing to its relatively cool climate, fresh air and Alpine terrain, Phetchabun is known as the ‘Thai Alps’ or ‘little Switzerland’. The province borders the North, Central and Northeast regions of Thailand and makes a worthwhile stopping off point when passing from one region to the next.
Once notorious for being the scene of a bitter communist insurgency from the 1960’s to 1980’s, the Khao Kho Mountains have since returned to peace and tranquility. Offering some of the best scenic views in the province the area has many points of interest to keep you occupied, from waterfalls, viewpoints and mountain bike trails to war memorials, a Weapons Museum and even a Royal Palace built for the current King, but for many simply driving along stunning stretches of steep winding roads proves to be the highlight of any trip to the area.
For a fascinating glimpse into the provinces’ ancient past, head to Si Thep Historical Park, which contains the ruins of the ancient town of Si Thep, built during the height of the Khmer empire around 1,000 years ago.
For anyone suffering from Temple fatigue we recommend a visit to the unique Wat Pha Sorn Kaew. Loosely translated as ‘Temple on a high glass cliff’, the Wat, just a few years old, is set on a 830 metre peak with a breathtaking backdrop of rugged mountains, and is adorned with over 5 million colourful mosaic tiles. The entire site is a real feast for the senses, and what the Temple may lack in history it more than makes up for in beauty.
Phetchabun is a province teeming with tourist potential, yet remains by in large under the radar of most travelers. But for those willing to take the time to explore, the province is a treasure trove of rich cultural heritage, ancient history and stunning misty mountains, ready to welcome you with open arms and that famous Thai smile.

Thailand Travel: Phetchabun
Many say that the province of Phetchabun is the Switzerland of Thailand. Phetchabun has a much cooler climate compared to the rest of Thailand and it is full of mountains and areas high above sea level. Making it an awesome place to travel and hike.
This is predominantly an area made up of Thai tourists, I noticed very few foreigners there so you are able to get an excellent insight into Thai tourism.
We drove all the way from Rayong (SE Thailand) to Phetchabun (North Central Thailand). The drive altogether took us about 8 hours or so.
Locations in Phetchabun that we visited
1. Phra Tam Nak Palace
2. Wat Phra That Pha Sorn Kaew
3. Phu Tub Boek
We spent the night camping on Phu Tub Boek mountain in order to see sunrise the next day. We were not disappointed. Although it was a chilly night in the tent, it was more comfortable than I had anticipated.
Sunrise started around 6.45am and it was simply stunning. Well worth visiting.

Thailand's dreamy north has national parks galore and tons of amazing temples and hidden gems and down south, it's still possible to find amazing islands without a ton of other tourists.
We went on a road trip up north and island hopping down south to find some of the best unknown parts of Thailand. We found Wat Chaloem, Pha Chor, waterfalls, two mountains in Doi Inthanon National Park and Doi Chiang Dao, as well as Koh Yao Yoi and Koh Yao Yai, the no-farang islands.
Just when you thought you'd seen it all in Thailand, I bet there's at least one thing on this list that you've never seen or heard of before!

Lampang, Thailand the Top Things To Do
Welcome to Lampang; the land where time stands still. A place where you can truly unwind and experience a unique and infectiously laid-back way of life that has remained largely unchanged for years. Despite all it has to offer, the area still receives comparatively few visitors, giving the area a wonderfully ‘undiscovered’ feel.
So join us as we take a look at just some of the highlights that Lampang has to offer.
Most visitors to Lampang are drawn to the province for its famed Thai Elephant Conservation Centre, the only centre of its kind in Thailand under Royal patronage. Founded in 1992, it currently cares for around 50 Asian elephants as well as housing six of the King’s ten white elephants. Visitors can learn about all about elephant conservation, watch one of the regular elephant performances, and the ever-popular elephant bath time. Elephant trekking, overnight homestays and even mahout training courses are also possible, though I’d strongly recommend making an advanced booking as places fill up fast.
The charming city of Lampang nestled in the broad river valley of the Wang River and surrounded by stunning mountain ranges is home to many impressive Laana era temples, including this one, Wat Phra Tat Lampang Luang located just 30 minutes from the city centre, and definitely worth a visit. Many of the temples in the area are constructed from timber and adorned with ornate carvings and decorations. So if visiting temples is your thing, then you really are spoilt for choice.
For many, travel in Thailand conjures up images of tuk tuks or long tail boats, but Lampang takes an altogether more relaxed approach to getting around. And the preferred method of travel? The good old fashioned horse and cart. So what better was to explore the city than by taking a leisurely ride through the city streets with your feet up in the back of a horse drawn carriage?
Lampang really is a gem in the crown of northern Thailand, so if relaxing riverside bars and restaurants, spectacular temples, friendly, laid-back locals and abundant wildlife and nature are your thing, then why not pay Lampang a visit. We’re sure you won’t regret it.

Loei, Thailand the Top Things To Do
Bordered by the mighty Mekhong River and mist-shrouded mountains, Loei has long been popular with Thai tourists, but still receives comparatively few international travelers. However, with all that the province has to offer, the secret may soon be out.
When visiting Loei, many people choose to head straight to Chiang Khan, famed for its laid-back charm and kitsch walking street. It is also a good base from which to explore nearby natural attractions, including un-spoilt national parks with their cool climates, lush pine forests and unique flora and fauna.
For those of you who don’t mind an early start, a visit to Phu Thok, which means isolated mountain, is a must-do whilst in Loei. Famed for its spectacular sunrises and ‘sea of fog’ views, this natural phenomenon is best viewed during winter months though good views are to be had all year-round. The area is also home to Wat Phu Thok; known locally as ‘stairways to heaven’, a popular spot for meditation in addition to offering striking views over the surrounding countryside.
For three days of the year the sleepy town of Dan Sai plays host to one of the most colourful and some would say spookiest festivals of its kind; Phi Ta Khon, or the ‘Ghost’ festival. Accompanied by raucous music and dancing, young men dressed as ghosts wearing huge colorful masks parade through the streets to worship spirits and ask for plentiful rain for the year ahead.
The annual event takes place between March and July, the exact dates being determined by the town’s spiritual mediums. If you can’t make the festival but are still interested in learning more, pay a visit to the Dansai Folk Museum, which provides information on the origins and significance of the Phi Ta Khon festival. At weekends you can also see demonstrations of how the festival masks are made.
With its unique climate, cultures and traditions, stunning natural attractions and colouful festivals, Loei is a province just waiting to be explored and is an up and coming ecotourism destination not to be missed, so come along and explore the wisdom of the mountains for yourself.

Best place to relax I have ever visited in north Thailand
Phitsanulok พิษณุโลก is an important, historic city in lower northern Thailand and is the capital of Phitsanulok Province, which stretches all the way to the Laotian border. On the banks of the Nan River, the city was originally a small Khmer outpost known as Song Kwae, before the Khwae Noi River changed its course in the 11th century CE. The Khwae Noi River แม่น้ำแควน้อย is a river in northern Thailand. It shares the same name as another river in Thailand, the popular tourist attraction also known as The River Kwai. These are two distinct bodies of water. About 1 hour ride from Phitsanulok in direction East and you will end up in the forest were you can find a beautiful place close to a dam where small tiny houses are placed on both side's of the river. You can rent a picnic house (Baht 300) and enjoy various sorts of fresh Thaifood. There is no parking fee. I haven't met any foreigner as I was there. Opening hours are from 8am - 6pm during hot season.
