Phayao Lake

August 7th, 2013 — 5:24am

Phayao is a pleasant northern Thai town that should receive far more visitors than it does. Situated beside a large lake, it makes a lovely place to stop over for a two or three nights on the way further north to Nan.  I was last there earlier in the year on a motorcycle trip around the north. At Loy Kratong in November, Phayao is a great alternative to Chiang Mai where the annual celebration has become far too big and commercialised.

This  image of a fisherman laying his nets was captured at dusk and will feature in my latest commissioned book, Enchanting Chiang Mai & Northern Thailand which should be in the shops by October.
