Location on map

Province of region Central Thailand

The province of Nakhon Sawan is probably one of the least visited in Northern Thailand. Although it is crossed by train and bus when going from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. There is Bueng Boraphet Lake, the largest freshwater lake in Thailand, and is a paradise for bird watchers and nature lovers.

Travelers can also go up to Wat Kiri Wong, a very gilded temple which dominates the city from its mountain. We will also note a few other interesting temples, Mount Khao Nor and an astonishing Bootel temple and a nice little night market along the river. Ah yes, this is also where the mythical river of Thailand, the Chao Phraya, begins.

Nakhon Sawan also organizes major festivals for Chinese holidays in its Paradise Park in particular. It is a good destination especially for Chinese New Year.
