About Phayao

Phayao is defined by the vast and serene Kwan Phayao, one of the largest natural freshwater lakes in northern Thailand, whose waters mirror the silhouette of submerged Wat Tilok Aram. The province sits in a broad mountain valley on the border with Laos and offers unspoilt nature, fresh fish restaurants lining the lakefront, and colourful hill-tribe villages in the highlands. It remains one of northern Thailand's best-kept secrets for travellers seeking tranquillity away from tourist crowds.
