That's Nan, my hometown… Speaking of the Green Season, the season I love so much. The light rain falls, the scent of the earth fills the air, and the mist is so thick I could almost dive into it. We love our hometown, "Pua," a small town with a big heart. Looking back over 20 years, when I was still a child, I was born in Pua, grew up in Pua, saw the mist, and experienced the cold weather so often that I didn't find anything particularly exciting about my hometown. But when I started working in the big city, I found myself longing for the "ordinary" things of my hometown.

With the right timing, opportunity, and time, and with the rainy season in full swing, I packed my bags and headed home. I went back to rest my weary body, recharge my life, and hug my loved ones. Let's go home!

The rain is stopping, the mist is rising. Looking far into the distance, I see Baan Glua, another beautiful place to be during the rainy season. Today, even from afar, it looks stunning. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be up close, with the mist touching my face, my body feeling light, floating on the veil of mist.

Now, back to Pua. This time of year, the rice fields are planted, and the landscape is a vibrant green, full of life.

Early morning after the rain, after making merit, it is refreshing like this. "Wat Ratcha Sri Ma or Wat Ban Khon", a Tai Lue style temple, Tai Lue architecture in the shape of a theater or Hongsa. A temple in a small village in Pua district, a village surrounded by rice fields, mountains and rivers. This is our home.

Surrounded by verdant rice fields, our home is nourished by the lifeblood of the river. This section, known as the "Fang Nam Pua," serves as a barrier between Ban Khon and Ban Pa Lan, offering picturesque views and glimpses into the lives of local fishermen.

The evening is approaching, and it's time to go home. The scenery along the way is not bad. The setting sun is hidden behind the mountains, and the soft yellow light shines on my head, making me want to take a picture.

Today, we started our day with a bright morning at a coffee shop with a beautiful view. As women, we can't resist a cute café to stop by, grab a bite, take some photos, and enjoy the slow pace of life. In the city of Nan, there are many cafes that are both cozy and perfect for taking beautiful photos. Today, we chose WORK BOXES, located opposite the Nan City Municipality.



When asked about the restaurant's signature dishes and recommendations, the answer is a resounding "I don't know." Ordering according to your preferences is the best option. Basic menu items include fragrant iced milk and soft bread drizzled with caramel.




The cafe is stylishly decorated, with a reading corner, a gossip corner for girlfriends, and a corner for changing workspaces. Although it may not be quiet, it's a nice place to change the atmosphere. There are also new photo corners to post on Instagram. If you move left, turn right, and look for angles, it's another kind of fun.



After chilling at a cool coffee shop, let's continue to a lovely shop called "Plaina Himnam," a stylish cafe located on the way to Ban Luang. If you're driving from Nan city to Ban Nam Khoeng, it's about 17 kilometers away. The shop is on the left-hand side of the main road, making it easy to spot.

Before entering the shop, there is a long bamboo bridge stretching across the rice field (used to be). I peeked left and right, where is the rice field? Haha, I'm not sure why it hasn't been planted yet. But if you come during the winter when the field is golden yellow, I highly recommend this shop.



We visited during a time when there were few tourists, so the restaurant was relatively quiet. However, this provided a high level of privacy. The menu offered a wide variety of options, making it suitable for families to enjoy a meal, relax, and dip their feet in the cool water. We ordered food at the counter and it was delivered to our table by the water's edge. During our visit, we moved around the restaurant to different tables, as there were no other customers. Every corner offered a unique and enjoyable experience.



This angle is the coolest. It's a balcony that juts out a bit, close to nature. This time we ordered hot milk, iced tea, and toast to snack on because we were already full from the food at home. After enjoying this angle, we'll move on to another one. Follow me.



After exploring the scenic surroundings of the shop and taking photos, we sat on the swings in the water, getting our pants wet. Now, let's warp to another location.



Run straight to Ban Luang's house, enter the Buddha statue at Wat Phra That Ku Khao Khieo, Ban Pa Ka Luang, Pa Ka Luang Subdistrict, Ban Luang District, Nan Province for good luck before returning to Bangkok. The Lanna-style Thai pavilion, on top of which is an ancient stupa, is about 500 years old. On the day we arrived, there were still villagers or tourists. The temple will look quiet and beautiful in the Lanna style.





When darkness falls, Nan city is truly unique. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, there are many places to eat around the city center. The food served in Khantoke trays looks delicious, and the atmosphere is truly northern. However, on this trip, we came during the weekdays when the market at the city center is closed. The market we will visit today and cannot be missed is the Ming Muang Di Best Night Bazaar. Here, you will find souvenirs, local products, OTOP goods, and food to welcome tourists and buy gifts before returning home. It is open every day. Monday-Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Friday-Saturday-Sunday from 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM.


The charm of Nan, my hometown, remains unchanged in my heart, even as time passes and new things emerge. Despite the advancements and developments, the people of Nan remain kind and welcoming, making me feel safe and secure every time I visit. Even a short stay of a few days can recharge my heart and prepare me to return to work and home. You will discover that it is a priceless life-charging platform.
