Hello everyone, I am back :)))
From Uttaradit Province, We drove up north to Nan Province and our first stop was at Kok Sua (The Tiger's Den). It is a very large space in the ground caused by the ground sinking. There is a story about it that in the past they used this area for killing the tigers that came to hunt their animals. They chased the tigers down there and threw stones and wood at them. And that is why they named it Kok Sua which means Tiger's Den.
Then we drove to have a swim at Kaeng Luang and walked down to the Nan River.
Then we drove up the mountain to Si Nan National Park to stay overnight at Doi Samer Dao. This place is a wonderful place, the view was really good and you can rent the tent here for a fair price.
My next stop was in Nan town. I stayed in the town for a night and visited these places around the town in the day.
Wat Phra That Khao Noi - this temple is on the top of the hill which you can see the view of the town from up here.
Wat Phra That Chae Haeng - this is the main temple in Nan town. It was founded in 1355 and there is big a gilded chedi which contains a relic of the Buddha.
Wat Phumin - a royal temple which is located in the middle of Nan town. It was constructed in 1596. There are murals painted on the wall inside the main building and the famous one is 'the man whispering in the woman's ear'
Wat Phra That Chang Kam Worawihan - this temple is opposite Wat Phumin. It's a historical place and also famous.
Wat Si Phan Ton - a temple in Nan town which has a golden church that is interesting and attractive.
After visiting places around Nan town we headed to Phayao Province but before we left we stopped at this temple on the way - Wat Rong Ngae, a small temple built by Thai Lue. This temple is simple but beautiful and traditional.
