Nan, Loei, and Phetchabun are three secondary provinces with numerous tourist attractions, including mountains, rivers, and rice fields. They are renowned for their local customs and traditions. Moreover, traveling to these provinces is convenient as they have commercial airports, and airlines frequently offer promotional deals on cheap flights.


In addition to convenient travel, another important thing to consider when traveling is "travel insurance." I would like to recommend a small trick to buy travel insurance that pays less but covers a lot, such as domestic travel insuranceTIP FLY SURE from Tipinsure. The insurance premium is very affordable, with two options: the first is a one-way trip for 55 baht, and the other is a round-trip for 129 baht. However, it covers our entire trip until we board the plane back to our destination, with a maximum coverage of 4,000,000 baht.


Purchasing the insurance is simple. First, during the flight ticket purchase process, simply check the insurance option and proceed with the ticket purchase as usual. Then, visit www.tipinsure.com/tipflysure and fill in the details as instructed by the system. That's it! You'll have comprehensive travel insurance to protect you throughout your travel adventure.


Now that you've learned some tips for getting the most out of your travel insurance, let's take a look at what these 3 secondary provinces have to offer.

Nan Province.....Rice field, Mountain, We, Nan

N่าน: A Romantic Escape in Rural Thailand

N่าน, a province in northern Thailand, is renowned for its romantic charm and the preservation of its rural lifestyle. This idyllic destination offers a perfect escape for those seeking a slow-paced, romantic experience.

The journey began with an early morning flight from Don Mueang Airport, destination: Nan Nakhon Airport. Renting a car, we embarked on a city tour, starting with the captivating murals at Wat Phumin. We paid respects at the city pillar shrine at Wat Ming Mueang, followed by a visit to the golden-hued viharn of Wat Sri Pan Ton. A panoramic view of Nan awaited us at Wat Phra That Khao Noi. Our taste buds were tantalized by the renowned Khao Soi at Khao Soi Ton Nam restaurant. Seeking tranquility, we drove to Pua district, where numerous homestays offer a glimpse into the local farming lifestyle. We opted for a peaceful stay at the School of Farmers, Tanong Homestay, or Tub Na Homestay. Before departing, we visited the scenic Wat Phu Ket, savored delicious mushroom pizza at Baan Hua Nam Mushroom Farm, and relaxed with a cup of coffee at Baan Tai Lue coffee shop. Our journey concluded with a souvenir purchase of woven fabrics at Lam Duan Pha To.

Loei: Slow Down and Embrace Life on the Mekong Riverbank

If you are tired of the fast-paced life, where you have to rush to eat, walk, work, and do everything else, and you want to escape the hustle and bustle of life for a couple of days, even just Saturday and Sunday, I recommend "Loei" Chiang Khan.

A Tranquil Escape to Chiang Khan: Immersing in Culture and Serenity

Nestled along the banks of the Mekong River, approximately 60 kilometers from Loei Airport, lies the quaint district of Chiang Khan. A mere hour's drive unveils this charming town, where visitors are greeted by a tapestry of traditional life meticulously preserved by its inhabitants. From houses and banks to convenience stores, the commitment to heritage is evident throughout.

For an immersive experience, choose accommodation along the Mekong River, offering breathtaking views and a chance to fully embrace the tranquil ambiance. As dusk descends, stroll along the riverbank, witnessing the mesmerizing sunset over the Laotian shores. Indulge in local delicacies at the Chiang Khan Walking Street, a vibrant hub of culinary delights.

Awaken to the ethereal beauty of a misty sunrise atop Phu Tok mountain. Upon your descent, participate in the ancient ritual of "tak bat khao niao," a time-honored tradition where locals offer sticky rice to monks, perpetuating a cherished cultural practice.

No visit is complete without savoring the local breakfast staple, "khao piak sen," a delectable rice noodle soup best enjoyed with crispy "pathongko" fritters. This unique combination offers a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.

To conclude your rejuvenating escape, rent a bicycle and meander through the streets, observing the unhurried pace of life in Chiang Khan. This tranquil experience provides a welcome respite from the frenetic pace of modern life.
