Chiang Mai - Prae Route:

Overnight in Phrae

With the morning sun, a new adventure beckons. The family will escort you to the vibrant morning market, where a traditional Lanna breakfast in the style of "Khantoke" awaits. As your host guides you through this hidden gem of a market, you'll discover the Northern region's culinary treasures. Get ready to indulge your taste buds in the array of tropical flavours and local delicacies. Amidst the hustle and bustle, you'll also get a chance to connect with the friendly faces of the village.

Following breakfast, the true adventurer within you will step into the timeless realm of Ban Nun, a village that seems untouched by the hands of time and functions as an open-air living museum. A Songtaew (Local Taxi) will whisk you away to this unique village. Depending on the season, you might witness the rhythm of rice farming and the bustling villagers tending to their fields. You might even join in on the tasks, experiencing the authentic essence of their way of life.

Craftsmanship comes alive as you explore various artisan workshops, from the skilled blacksmith to the art of tobacco smoking. These encounters offer a glimpse into the rich tapestry of village life. And, if fortune favours you, you might witness a Bai Sri ceremony, a tradition that echoes the era when Phrae was a key part of the Lanna kingdom's grandeur.

Lunchtime brings a delightful surprise as you savour the authentic local flavours of a quaint village restaurant.

Afterwards, you have the freedom to unwind or explore the surroundings at your own pace, perhaps on a bicycle. For those seeking a unique overnight experience, opt for a tent under the embrace of tamarind trees, as this homestay also caters to camping enthusiasts. Well-maintained sanitation facilities and showers are readily available. As evening descends, a tantalising BBQ dinner awaits to gratify your palate.
