25 Unmissable Spots in Chiang Rai and Phayao

Our journey began at Mae Fah Luang Airport in Chiang Rai, where we embarked on a scenic road trip, exploring various tourist destinations without retracing our steps (except for our flight back to Bangkok!). We aimed to move forward, stopping at temples, waterfalls, and delectable restaurants that we personally enjoyed and believed were exceptional.

This list showcases 25 must-visit locations in Chiang Rai and Phayao that we highly recommend. If you've already visited these two provinces, you might have missed some of these hidden gems. So, consider revisiting them!

1. Uncle Suban's Shrimp Farm, Thoeng District, Chiang Rai Province

Whenever I visit Chiang Rai, I always make a stop at Uncle Suban's Shrimp Farm. The freshly grilled shrimp are incredibly fragrant and flavorful, and the accompanying dipping sauce is simply divine. This farm boasts the largest shrimp ponds in the area.

The farm features a restaurant, a coffee shop, and cozy pavilions surrounded by shrimp ponds and verdant rice fields, creating a tranquil ambiance.

You can either have the restaurant grill the shrimp for you or rent a grill and do it yourself at the pavilions. The price of the grilled shrimp is calculated per kilogram and varies depending on the season.

During our visit, the grilled shrimp cost 470 baht per kilogram.

A friendly tip: bring someone to help you peel the shrimp! 555

2. Phu Chi Fa, Thoeng District, Chiang Rai Province

For those who love the green season, teasing the morning mist, or enjoying the slow life in the evening at Phu Chi Fa, Chiang Rai, this is the place for you.

Conveniently park your car and walk another 200 meters to find stunning views, cool breezes, and fresh air.

It is recommended to visit in the morning to see the mist, or in the evening to enjoy the equally stunning sunset.

3. Phu Chi Moon, Thoeng District, Chiang Rai

Another new landmark officially opened for Chiang Rai people. For those who love mountains and hills, the walk is not far, only 200-400 meters.

With the stunning morning mist view, how much you will see depends on your luck. The best time to visit is during the late rainy season, early winter, or the peak winter season. The way up is quite tough, you have to take a local pickup truck up and back for 500 baht, which can be shared among several people. It's definitely worth it for the view and atmosphere you'll get.

4. Doi Pha Tang, Wiang Kaen District, Chiang Rai Province

A short drive away is Doi Pha Tang in Chiang Rai, which offers stunning views of the Mekong River and Laos. Highlights include the Khao Khaad viewpoint and Hill 103, both of which are must-visit destinations. The hike is easy and enjoyable, making it suitable for all fitness levels. For the best experience, visit early in the morning to witness the breathtaking sea of mist or in the evening to catch the mesmerizing sunset. No matter your preference, Doi Pha Tang is sure to impress.

5. Phu Sang Waterfall, Phu Sang District, Phayao Province

After descending from the mountain, we continued our journey to Phayao Province. We started at the border with Thoeng District, Chiang Rai Province, and drove to Phu Sang Waterfall, located in Phu Sang National Park, Phu Sang District, Phayao Province. This waterfall is unique as it is the only warm waterfall in Thailand.

Visitors can hike up to see the natural hot spring, which has a temperature of 38 degrees Celsius, before it flows down to form the waterfall. The National Park Authority has built a well-maintained trail for easy access.

Along the way, you can also enjoy the diverse flora and fauna of the surrounding forest.

6. Wat Don Chai, Chiang Kham District, Phayao Province

While in Chiang Kham District, stop by Wat Don Chai, one of the oldest temples in the area.

This temple belongs to the Mahanikai sect and is conveniently located opposite the Lotus's supermarket in Chiang Kham.

Next to the temple, you'll find a shop selling freshly made "Kalamae Boran" (a traditional Thai sweet), a must-try local delicacy of Phayao Province.

Don't miss out on this delicious treat!

7. Nam Min Waterfall, Chiang Kham District, Phayao Province

Driving out of Chiang Kham town towards Phu Langka, we stopped at Nam Min Waterfall, which few people know about.

Located in Ban Nam Min, 3.5 kilometers from the village road into the Nam Min Waterfall Forest Park. The road is paved all the way. You can park your car and walk to the waterfall in just 100 meters. It's easy.

8. Phu Langka Resort, Pong District, Phayao Province

This affordable resort with million-dollar views has made a significant contribution to Phayao Province's reputation. Its prime location offers breathtaking views of the mist-covered sea from the comfort of your balcony or tent. For just 700 baht, you can enjoy a delicious breakfast and easy access via paved roads. Phu Langka Resort is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Phayao.

The best part? You can step out of your room and be greeted by breathtaking mist. The peak season falls between the end of the rainy season and the beginning of winter, extending all the way through the cold season – making it an exceptional value for money.

11. Nam Dang Beach, Pong District, Phayao Province

Driving out of the waterfall and heading through Pong District, there is a sign to turn left to Nam Dang Beach. Let's go and have a look. Nam Dang Beach in Pong District is famous as a top-class resort for the people of Phayao. There is clear water flowing through, but during the rainy season when we visited, the water was the color of iced milk tea. However, the peak season for Nam Dang Beach is during the hot season and Songkran, when shops and stalls are set up to cater to tourists, and music adds to the lively atmosphere of Nam Dang Beach.

12. Tharn Sawan Waterfall, Chiang Muan District, Phayao Province

Another popular tourist destination in Phayao is the lush Tharn Sawan Waterfall, located within Doi Phu Nang National Park.

We visited during the wrong season, as the water was a scary red color due to heavy rains. We ignored the warnings from the park rangers and went in anyway (oops!).

Normally, the water is a beautiful emerald green. We recommend visiting during the winter or summer months to enjoy a refreshing dip in the cool water. Another highlight of Doi Phu Nang National Park is the opportunity to see peacocks.

13. Verdant Rice Fields in Chun District, Phayao Province

Immerse yourself in the refreshing green season of Chun District, where vibrant rice fields paint the landscape with breathtaking beauty.

Step into a world of emerald green, where lush rice paddies stretch as far as the eye can see. Every corner you turn unveils a scene of pure serenity, invigorating your senses with the essence of nature.

Whether you choose a leisurely morning stroll or an evening amble, the tranquility of the rice fields will envelop you. Capture stunning photographs amidst the picturesque landscape, using the charming rice barns as props and the verdant backdrop for an unforgettable memory.

Mae Puem Reservoir, dubbed the "Pang Ung 2," is known for its early morning mist that rises above the water's surface. However, keep in mind that visiting during the winter is essential. During other seasons, it serves as a popular spot for relaxing, strolling, taking photos, and kayaking in the lush surroundings of Mae Puem National Park. The asphalt road is in excellent condition throughout.

18. Wat Rong Khun, Mueang District, Chiang Rai Province

The tea plantation spans 500 acres, and the cakes and green tea are absolutely delicious.
