For those who visit Phayao Province, another place that should not be missed is
KwanPhayao, located in Mueang Phayao District, Phayao Province.
It is the largest freshwater lake in the North. The word "Kwan"
in the local language means "lake". It was created by the Department of Fisheries.
They built a water gate to provide people with water to use in the dry season and in the rainy season.
It prevents the water from flowing too hard to flood the orchards and farms downstream. It is located in the center of Phayao City. There is a mountain range as a backdrop of mountains and the sun.
In the evening, sit back and relax, walk and watch the sunset by the lake. It is a beautiful sight.

It is a tourist attraction and the center of activities for the people of Phayao. It is a large freshwater lake located in the heart of Phayao. The surrounding scenery is beautiful because there are many mountains as a backdrop around the lake. There are many restaurants and hotels providing services. The most popular highlight is the Naga statue in the middle of the water facing each other. Kwan Phayao is therefore a highlight tourist attraction of Phayao Province that should not be missed. And what should not be missed when visiting Kwan Phayao is taking a boat trip to see the lake and a boat trip to see Wat Tilokaram, a temple in the middle of the water, which is an unseen temple in Phayao.
Watch the sunset along Kwan Phayao. The sun slowly sets along the horizon with the Phi Pan Nam mountain range. The sky, water, and the light are very beautiful.

Kwan Phayao
Often when I have the opportunity to drive my own car to take my family to travel to the northern provinces, I often drive past Phayao Province, heading to Chiang Rai Province. Even though Phayao is a province with many interesting and beautiful tourist attractions, good weather, people have a simple way of life, customs, culture, temples and monasteries are no less prominent than other provinces in the north. #thailand #Phayao #Visit Kwan Phayao

Stop by to see "Kwan Phayao" and visit "Wat Ananlayo".
If we talk about "Phayao", it would be impossible not to mention "Kwan Phayao". Especially the air in the morning is very cool. Sitting by the lake is like sitting and watching the sea view. If it's good to come during the holidays or on the weekends, there will be an activity area, a morning market, sipping coffee in the morning, and watching the lake view. It's another kind of relaxing. In the late morning, we can stop by to visit more. And what we can't not mention is Wat Analayo. When we go to visit the temple, we feel much calmer. I'm not from Phayao, but whenever I have a chance, I always stop by. It's peaceful, shady, and I feel like we're fully in touch with nature.

🥰 Kwan Phayao is located in Mueang Phayao District, Phayao Province. It is the largest freshwater lake in the northern region.
🥰 The word "Kwan" in the local language means "lake".

🐟 Kwan Phayao has many species of freshwater fish. Therefore, it is a major producer of fermented fish and is famous for it. It has become a famous product of Phayao Province. Anyone who comes to Phayao must buy Phayao fermented fish as a souvenir. Most importantly, it is delicious. 🥰🐟🐟🐟

The magnificent lake at Kwan Phayao
Kwan Phayao, the largest lake in the north. The natural beauty of the lake contrasting with the mountains is like visiting Kashmir Lake, India. But ours is more beautiful because we are Thais. We don't have to pay a lot and travel hard. Thailand also has good things. The lake here is beautiful both day and night. It is confirmed by the photos. The road next to the lake still has delicious food. Waiting to welcome you to eat and enjoy the view. Especially during Songkran, people like to take a boat to the island in the middle of the lake. To Wat Tilokaram, which is in the middle of the water, pay homage and receive blessings. Kwan Phayao is a large area. It is not hard to find. You can visit anytime. Collect another good experience in Thailand. Go to Phayao, Kashmir of Thailand. #This content is of quality.

This morning at Kwan Phayao, let's go together.
Kwan Phayao is located in Mueang Phayao District, Phayao Province. It is the largest freshwater lake in the North. The word "Kwan" in the local language means "lake". It came from the Fisheries Department building a water gate to provide people with water to use in the dry season and to prevent the strong water from flooding farms and orchards downstream in the rainy season. It is located in the center of Phayao City with a mountain range as a backdrop. It is formed from water flowing from 18 streams.
Along the edge of Kwan Phayao are restaurants and public parks for people to relax. In the past, Kwan Phayao was a river plain with the Ing River flowing through it, meandering and stretching all the way from the north to the edge of the lake in the southeast. There are also many small ponds and many canals flowing down from Doi Luang Mountain and connecting to each other. This makes this river plain very fertile and has been settled in communities since ancient times.

Kwan Phayao, a small and warm town
"Kwan Phayao" The largest freshwater lake in the North
It is a small city well-known as Phayao Province 🌴
Today we will review this community 💕🍃
In the morning, we went out to give alms to monks by the river, which is the culture of the locals who wake up early to receive the cool atmosphere, fog, or the wide, white river. The air is very cool.
Next is a public park in the heart of Phayao City, where the community here comes out to exercise in the morning and sit and enjoy the atmosphere amidst the many shops along the road, which gives warmth. 🤍
There are many shops here, both coffee shops and restaurants where you can sit and eat, walk and eat, and watch the river.

Bunny Moon Cafe, a chic cafe in Phayao Province. Driving along the lake looking for this cafe was a bit discouraging because it was so deep, I almost thought I was lost. But when I got to the cafe, my feeling changed immediately. The cafe is so cute, it's an unconventional cafe. I can't exactly call it a coffee shop. This is a cafe with cute little animals, fragrant coffee, nice atmosphere, spacious area, convenient parking, inexpensive food, lots of corners for taking pictures. People who like taking pictures must come here. Open from 11:00-20:00, closed every Monday.

Kwan Phayao 🌤️ Enjoy the relaxing water view at Phayao's landmark.
Kwan Phayao is the largest freshwater lake in the north, located in the heart of Phayao Province. We can see water as far as the eye can see, with tall mountains as the backdrop. We went after the rain, so there was a little fog. The image of the fog floating next to the mountains behind, combined with the vast, calm water, makes it very suitable for relaxation. 🌤️
In addition, there are many shops open on the banks of the lake, both restaurants and bars. ☕🧆 There is also a public park and playgrounds for children, making it a great place to relax with your family.
Or if you are a spiritual person, you can also pay homage to the monument of Phraya Ngam Mueang for good luck in life. His monument is located at Phayao Municipality Park (Somdet Ya Park 90) in front of Phayao Lake. If you pass through Phayao, don't forget to come and relax at Phayao Lake.

Once upon a time with Kwan Phayao
Kwan Phayao is considered a place that everyone in Phayao must go to. It can be considered the face of the province. It is considered a place suitable for relaxation, peaceful, simple. There is a pagoda in the middle of the water for you to pay homage. In the evening, come to watch the sunset, it is very beautiful. And there is alms giving in the morning. If you want the chaos of the city, this should be the first place that comes to mind. #Kwan Phayao #Phayao

Kwan Phaya
Kwan Phayao
The best thing of Phayao that is considered to be the number one landmark that tourists must pin on their map is probably the 4th largest freshwater lake in Thailand and the largest in the North. The vastness of Kwan Phayao makes us feel like we are standing on the shore of the sea. Plus, there is a large mountain range in the background. You can come for a walk or exercise. It is so beautiful that you don't have to be surprised why you have to come here!

A very romantic atmosphere along Kwan Phayao
At 📌Kwan Phayao📌
Location: Ban Sang Subdistrict, Mueang Phayao District, Phayao Province
Kwan Phayao, the largest freshwater lake in the North, is an important water source that sustains the lives of Phayao people. Don't miss it!! Watch the sunset along Kwan Phayao. The sun slowly sets along the horizon with the Phi Pan Nam mountain range, the sky, the water, and the beautiful lights. It's a very romantic atmosphere, as if you were on Lake Kawaguchiko with a view of Mt. Fuji or like a view of Switzerland. It's an atmosphere that you can't miss if you come to visit Phayao Province.
After watching the sunset, come pay homage and ask for blessings from Pho Khun Ngam Mueang at the Pho Khun Ngam Mueang Monument along Kwan Phayao.
