2025 Ban Thi Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

If you're visiting Lamphun, I recommend making merit at Pa Yang Temple, also known as Wat San Phra Chao Daeng. Located in Ban Thi Subdistrict, Ban Thi District, Lamphun Province, this ancient temple is serene and simply beautiful, with a touch of Lanna history and art. Upon arrival, you'll feel the tranquility from the large trees that cover the temple grounds, providing a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for practicing meditation. The main highlight is the San Phra Chao Daeng Viharn, known for its distinctive red color, which is linked to the legend of Phra Chao Daeng, revered by the locals. There is also an ancient chedi near the viharn, showcasing the beauty of ancient Lanna architecture and reflecting the history of the Ban Thi community. Additionally, there is a sacred Buddha image enshrined in the viharn, believed by locals to be holy and often prayed to for health, success, and blessings. If you visit during traditional festivals (such as the Songkran Festival or Yi Peng Festival), you will experience the true Lanna atmosphere. If you are visiting Lamphun, I highly recommend stopping by here. Travel Information: The temple is not far from Lamphun city, about a 20-30 minute drive. The route is convenient, and you can search for 'Wat Pa Yang Ban Thi' on Google Maps.

When Isan kids want to travel to a mountain in the north that is not well-known to tourists, let's just say they get lost, gasp for air, and fall to their knees 🤣 📌 Location: Wat Phra That Doi Ngum, Lamphun Province Review: Nature tourism, a running route with a beautiful view that is ranked at the top...🍀 See a high angle view of Chiang Mai, including Doi Suthep. The route is 42.3 kilometers from Chiang Mai city. It takes about 1 hour to travel through San Kamphaeng District. ⛰️Doi Ngum is quite steep, so tourists don't like to travel there. In the past, cars couldn't go up at all, but now the villagers have helped to renovate the route. I want everyone to go, it's really beautiful. Now there is a concrete road mixed with gravel. 🏍️The only vehicles that can go up should be 4-wheeled four-wheel drive vehicles only. And the driver must be really skilled at driving because the road is very steep and scary. If it's a motorcycle, it should be a dirt bike or a car with gears. Personally, I drove a new 1-year-old Filano 125 cc, alternating walking, pulling, and walking up some parts because I read the reviews and prepared myself to walk. The road is steep and very narrow. Cars can't pass each other, so I have to stop. Let me tell you, at the sharp curve, I jumped out of the car without thinking about my life. It was really crazy 🤣🤣🤣 The distance is more than 4 kilometers for the car route from the point where there is a sign warning that the road is steep. Let me tell you, if I had known, I would have walked up because I had to pull the car and walk up the mountain. Oh my! 📍If you drive and don't want to encounter a sharp elbow coke, there will be a warning sign first. If you can't handle it, walk up. Drive to the parking lot and you can walk up the mountain. The distance is about 1 kilometer. The road is quite steep. For those who are interested in walking up the mountain Without driving up, it took about 3 hours round trip, the distance is 11 kilometers (I repeat, 11 kilometers). Practice your legs well, hehe 🤣🫶🏻 Map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WtwtxMUK8GZdMKVg6?g_st=ic (Don't believe some routes that will get you lost. We got lost.) #triptravelasia

Hot weather like this, I recommend Lamphun Province to go rafting, enjoy the beautiful nature, play in the water, the food is not expensive. Anyone passing this area or driving through Lamphun Province on the way to Chiang Mai, I recommend Mae Thi Reservoir. Good atmosphere, beautiful, clear water. Saturday and Sunday are full every day, no seats. But if you come on a weekday, there are many booths to choose from. There is also a cafe zone. The price is not expensive, 40-50 baht. As for the food, it depends on the menu, starting at 40 baht.

There is a restaurant with a good atmosphere, a beautiful view, a bathroom, food that isn't too expensive, and there's also a coffee shop, Amfer'cafe, which is a cafe located on the edge of Mae Thi Reservoir. In this zone, there are many shops to choose from and you can order food to go back and forth. The opening hours are not fixed, you have to check their Facebook page. In the morning, they sell food and coffee, and in the evening, they sell alcoholic drinks. The shop isn't very big, the atmosphere is quite comfortable. I ordered coffee to drink, but I forgot to take a picture. There are many coffee beans to choose from.

A coffee shop hidden in the valley of “Mae Thi Reservoir”, Lamphun Province, not far from Chiang Mai. The atmosphere is very good. If anyone is tired of monotony, I recommend you to come here for a change of atmosphere. You will not be disappointed. I recommend coming in the morning when the sun is down and the wind has died down. In the Mae Thi Reservoir area, there are many shops, both shops and coffee shops. This place will give you a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, but it is also filled with chicness and coolness. You can take pictures here in the most stylish way. Most importantly, the shop owner is very cute and friendly. The shop opens from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM. During times when there is a lot of water, some places are not suitable for children. You may have to choose to sit in other corners. However, for adults, you can stand and soak in the water and relax. #BeautifulCafeToShare #MustVisitCafe #CafeReview #MissNature #GoToAChicCafe #SecretLocation #VisitLamphun #LamphunNotAlone

Rabiang Doi Restaurant is a restaurant in Mae Thi Reservoir, Ban Thi Subdistrict, Ban Thi District, Lamphun Province. This is my first time here and I was impressed by the nice, quiet atmosphere, clear water, and beautiful mountains. The journey to the reservoir is quite far from Lamphun city, about 30 km. When you get there, there are many restaurants by the reservoir to choose from. There are both riverside restaurants and pavilions on a raft, depending on your choice. We saw Rabiang Doi Restaurant separated from the other restaurants and it looked nice, so we decided to give it a try. The entrance to the restaurant is a rough gravel road that cars can't pass each other, so be careful. The owner of the restaurant said that this restaurant is only open on Saturdays and Sundays. If you come to sit and enjoy the view at the restaurant, you'll find that it's worth the trip. The food tastes good. ❤️
