Phayao [pa-yao] is a small, lovely, and peaceful town on the lake’s edge. It’s far from Chiang Mai, 150 kilometers away. Basically, we can drive non-stop for 2:30 hours and transfer to Phayao.

The city was quiet and calm. The people are extremely welcoming, and the scenery is breathtaking. Those are well worth a visit instead of just passing through. Spending time and living a slow life here is something I highly recommend.
