旅行可治愈:“Nan - A simple and pristine province in northern Thailand, a rural province bordering Thailand and Laos, is famous for its many national parks. It has the White Temple in northern Thailand. When it comes to Nan tourism, the most representative attraction is Wat Phumin. This Buddhist temple, which was influenced by the Lanna and Tailue styles and cultures, was built in 1596 and renovated in 1875. It is famous for its beautiful and colorful murals. It has a history of more than 400 years. The murals inside show the daily life scenes and life in Nan in the 19th century. Among the many murals, the Whispers of love, a picture of ancient Lanna men and women whispering softly, is considered by the public to be the most representative in Wat Phumin. Later, it was widely used in various daily necessities, home decorations, clothing and souvenirs in Nan.”

When standing at the viewpoint, you can clearly see the surrounding mountains. The atmosphere is quiet. ## Camera [ Canon EOS 600D ]”

Tonjaiyai:“Ban Tai Lue Cafe - Ban Tai Lue Cafe, a Delicacy of Nan Province
A famous coffee shop in Nan Province, it is like a highlight of Pua District where tourists like to stop by for a taste, take photos, and check in. The atmosphere of the cafe is a wooden hut next to a green rice field. The wooden house is decorated with woven fabrics, which are fabrics from Lamduan Fabric Shop, which is open for sale next door. The coffee is fragrant and delicious, and the price is not expensive.
The highlight is the coffee, which has both light roast, medium roast, and dark roast. You can also buy coffee beans to grind yourself or as souvenirs. Most importantly, the price is very friendly.
Inside, there is a wooden bridge connecting every hut, which was built by the Tai Lue villagers. The structure is strong and feels solid. We can walk around the entire wooden bridge to take photos, and each point has a different view. We can also see the colorful Tai Lue fabrics that are decorated.
Ban Tai Lue Coffee Shop is a homemade coffee shop of Lamduan Fabric Shop. Of course, it is not just an ordinary coffee shop. Because here, there are also souvenirs and Tai Lue woven fabrics, Nam Lai woven fabrics, ancient patterns, a delicacy of Pua District for sale. All woven fabrics and products are from the community products.”
