Nan, a small tranquil and culturally rich city, is another popular destination that visitors dream of roaming and exploring its uniqueness. Nan seems beautiful regardless of season. In rainy season, the views of lush green paddy fields and undulating mountain ranges shrouded in a blanket of fog look really spectacular. What is so fantastic about this province? What did it become a dream destination for nature enthusiasts? Today we would like to show you a 4-day and 3-night road trip to reveal the beauty of Nan, so you may schedule a few days off work to fill your lungs with fresh air.
We started off from Bangkok in early evening. After grabbing some food from a local market in Nan, it was time to find greenery. In rainy season, Tad Luang waterfall offers streams of water cascading down the rocks, and is less crowded, making this waterfall a true hidden gem. We rinsed ourselves to refuel, then continued out trip.

Next, let’s go to a small and faraway village of Ban Huai Thon which offers breathtaking views of the sea of fog. In rainy season, it requires a four-wheel drive, or an RV trailer with the recommended tyre tread depth. The route to the village would be a great fun for motorcyclists as well. Additionally, there are riding service providers to accommodate you. Feel free to contact Khun Noi at 090-317-6757.
A white blanket of fog and evergreen mountains are like Nature’s gift for travelers. Not only at the destination, but you can appreciate the beauty along the way.
