The writer had long intended to visit Kwan Phayao and finally got the chance at the end of 2017. This trip started from Chiang Rai by van. Traveling from Bangkok is not difficult. Take a bus to Phayao Bus Terminal, or fly to Chiang Rai and then take a connecting van to Phayao. From the Phayao Bus Terminal, it's just a short walk to the edge of Kwan Phayao.

The sentence is already in English and does not require translation.

Walk a little further and you will reach the Khun Ngam Mueang Monument. Cross the road along the edge of Kwan Phayao to pay your respects first.

Along the shores of Phayao Lake, there is a wide walkway with a bicycle lane and areas for dining by the lake. A short walk further, there is a service point for pedal boats.

The lakeside promenade boasts refreshing air and a gentle breeze. Restaurants along the way offer mats for seating. We continued our walk without stopping, as our booked accommodation is near the pier for the ferry to Wat Tilok Aram. The lakeside offers numerous spots for a leisurely stroll and exploration.

The boat pier is just a short distance away. Opposite the pier is the entrance to the "Baan Nai Soi Homestay" (which literally translates to "House in the Alley Homestay"). This means that you will be staying in the same house as the owner, but there will be no shared activities. The room rate is 500 baht per night. The pier to Wat Tiloakararam Temple is a 30-meter walk from the homestay.

After entering the room, I took a shower and rested. Today, I planned to take a boat to the temple in the middle of the water at 5:30 pm. I thought I would get a beautiful sunset. We left our accommodation and walked to the pier. We paid 30 baht for the boat fare and incense candles (normally the boat fare to the temple in the middle of the water is 20 baht without incense candles, but this must be a festival where everyone wants to worship the Buddha, so the pier has prepared a set for us). For safety reasons, everyone must wear a life jacket when boarding the boat. In a moment, we were on the boat.

The light was perfect, making the trip incredibly enjoyable. The timing was impeccable, thanks to the sunset information from the app. After a short paddle boat ride (note: the paddle boat has no motor), we arrived at the temple in the middle of the water. Everyone went to pay their respects, while I took some photos. I love this kind of light.

At the pier of the temple in the middle of the water, there are boats moored. This is the angle before boarding the boat to return.

We had to leave soon, but we didn't want to stay any longer. The light was beautiful, but everyone else had already boarded the boat, so we had to go.

On the way back to the shore, a boat passed by. This one must have gotten a beautiful light. The atmosphere before entering the shore was also very good. The timing of the paddle was just right when the boat came out before the bright light of the sky, so we pressed this angle for more than 20 pictures.

Upon reaching the pier before disembarking, I captured this perspective.

After reaching the shore, I returned the life jacket and took a picture looking back at the water, capturing this angle.

The sky still had some light, so we sat on the left side of the pier to wait for the light to fade and for the last boat to return.

As the light faded, we walked towards the playground and then back towards the statue of King Ngam Mueang. We walked to the walking street near the city pillar shrine, stopping to buy snacks along the way. Before reaching the walking street, we stopped by Wat Chaiyarawat, also known as Wat Pak Kham.

The night market was not as crowded as expected, but there was still a variety of food available, some delicious and some average. After eating, we walked back to our accommodation and waited until around 11 pm before heading out again. Phayao is a safe city, and walking along the lake, we could hear music from restaurants and the sound of chanting from a nearby temple, creating a unique atmosphere. The lakeside was bustling with people, and many were releasing sky lanterns, some with firecrackers attached. We watched anxiously, hoping they wouldn't fall on our heads. As midnight approached, there were small fireworks displays, and people started to disperse. This gave us the opportunity to take this photo.

The original text is in Thai and describes a pleasant morning on New Year's Day. The writer woke up a little late but still managed to enjoy the fresh air and 16-degree Celsius temperature. They went for a walk, which allowed them to stretch their legs and feel refreshed.

Here is a possible translation of the text into English:

On New Year's morning, I woke up a bit late but still managed to catch the beautiful weather. The temperature was a comfortable 16 degrees Celsius, perfect for a leisurely walk. I enjoyed stretching my legs and feeling the fresh air on my face.

Continuing on to the Father Khun Ngam Mueang Monument, there is a rice and dry food offering ceremony on New Year's Day, presided over by the Governor of Phayao Province.

We didn't prepare much, so we continued taking photos and breathing in the morning air.

Upon returning to our accommodation, we were greeted with a self-service breakfast of coffee and toast. After a satisfying meal, it was time to visit temples on New Year's Day. Our first stop was Wat Sri U-Mong Kham (Wat Sung), which houses the Phra Chao Than Jai, an ancient sandstone Buddha statue in the Payao style, considered the most complete of its kind.

A short walk will take you to the Phayao City Pillar Shrine.

Not far from Wat Ratchakhri.

Continuing on the path from last night's walking street, not far away, you will reach Wat Luang Rachasan.

It was time to return the room. My aunt offered to have my uncle take me to the bus station, but I told her I would walk. My bus was scheduled to leave at 1:00 PM, and I had an hour and a half to spare. On the way, I came across a restaurant called "Ko Khun Dok Kham Tai Noodle Shop" and decided to stop for a bite. I ordered a special bowl of noodles for 70 baht. The beef was good, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the chili sauce was very spicy, just as the warning sign had stated.

After eating, we walked to digest food and took a stroll along the edge of the Phayao Lake to the bus station. The sky was clear today, so we took in the atmosphere before saying goodbye.

The atmosphere at Kwan Phayao is truly wonderful. I will definitely have to come back again. I still want to experience the water candle procession here someday.
