Truly a royal palace of yesteryear🙏 Amazing details still there. A well spent 40 minutes strolling through a naturally ventilated masterpiece of tropical architecture.

Amazing, a must see in Phrae! It's free, with old Prison underground.

A last Phare governor's house. It's more than 100 years buiding. a cellar of this house was a prison cell.

Well preserved teak house with beautiful wood trims. Tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable in explaining the different parts of the house and its former uses. However the landscaping could use some improvement to complement the house.

It was on fine day we went, the building is in good care. There are etiquette in English, but only short explanation. For someone who interest with building/history, perhaps you could read online articles before/after going to this place. Clean toilet available at the backyard garden.

Visit 26/3/2019 - Historical Building. Many interesting displays. Take time to view and enjoy.

Former home of the last ruler of Phrae. Now a beautifully maintained museum which can be visited free of charge.

A very nice museum about the history of the ruling family of Phrae. It is worth the visit and has most information in Thai and English.

Excellent and totally free to enter, don't miss this important palace. Jao Luang Piriyahepawong-u-Dorn This statue was built as a tribute to the last "Jao Lunan" of Phrae (the King appointed ruler of the city) from 1889 to 1902. Through his vision and leadership he was both devoted to the welfare of the Phrae people and a devout Buddhist. His most significant plans for administering included the establishment of a police force and a system for local people trading. On 15th September 1902 during the rebellion of the Shan (many of them worked in Teak logging and mining in Phrae) the local rule was upset on a massive scale and he had to flee to Luang Prabang in Laos. (In the basement there used to be interrogations of suspected criminals)

Do not wear improper clothes and get in the temple. They have Sarong(Wrap-around Skirt) for who those wear short pants either short skirt. No need to buy tickets.

A lovely place to visit there's a small market across the road with lots of great things to buy and a few restaurants for food and drinks

Very beautiful temple located little outside of Phrae city. It’s surrounded by mountains.

Royal temple of Phrae province is claimed to be temple for people who were born in year of tiger. So there are many symbols, pictures, paitings about tiger in the temple complex. There is contruction over the main stupa ; however, visitors are allowed to pay respects and worship around the stupa.

The entrance is quite far from the expressway. It takes time to travel from the city quite a bit. But when you get to the temple, it's worth it. temple on top of mountain You have to walk up to the top. The pagoda is very beautiful, the whole pagoda is bright gold. The bell rang because he went early in the morning. as beautiful as the rumor

About 2hours and 40mins from Sukhothai..very nice and old temple on a mountain. Lucky they have lift to take you up from the carpark.m

Beautiful temple in Phrae. It's a great place to visit in winter when it's a bit cooler. There's beautiful nature and there are many hills around. Great for taking pictures.

A must when in Phrae. Lots to see. Shops were selling statues made from the old ubosot's roof when I was there. Very unique indeed. Also spiritually important for anyone born in a tiger year.

Wat (Temple) Phra That Phae Cho is an immensely peaceful Buddhist place of worship set atop a hill. Accessed by a (left as you walk up) set of 125 steps flanked by two beautifully tiled Dragon Snakes. The 33m Golden Stupa and the Prayer Hall adjacent to it are both, calmly soothing and meditational. One can also seek blessings from a presiding Buddhist Monk and join in prayer recitals in the latter. Or simply offer candles, incense sticks and a small hand-made conical bouquet of flowers along with their own prayer recitals by dropping a small donation of THB 20/person (£0.50p) into one of several boxes. Don't miss gonging the 33 or so large brass Bells with the Teak batons provided. We then descended on the opposite set of 86 (undecorated) steps back to the street. REMEMBER: This is a Place of Worship. Both genders must dress moderately and be prepared to take-off your footwear at the very top before entering a Sacred place.

Peaceful environment.

Less spectacular than its neighboring temple, but likely of more significance. And much older.

Wat Luang is a very old temple (however the current buildings are newer) with a main hall containing a bronze Buddha statue. The other notable building is the two-storey building containing a small museum. It is worth visiting when at Wat Luang. I enjoyed my visit and the TAT volunteer was very kind and helpful.

A big beautiful temple inside viang (the old town) built approximately 1200 years ago

Magic temple

Old and beautifully decorated

(Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful temple (for taking photos) and really quiet. Didn't meet any monks (may have already entered the monastery) or tourists haha. And the entire temple has many things, including an old pavilion, a church, a pagoda, an ancient fort (I don't know what to call it), but you can come and stop by. It is a little far from Wat Wong Sunan. (Original) เป็นวัดที่สวยมาก(ในการถ่ายรูป) และเงียบสงบจริงๆ ไม่เจอพระสงฆ์(อาจจะเข้ากุฏิไปแล้ว)หรือนักท่องเที่ยว555 และทั้งวัดมีหลายิย่างมาก ทั้งศาลาเก่า โบสถ์ เจดีย์ ป้อมโบราณ(ไม่รู้เรียกอะไร) ยังไงก็มาแวะเข้ามาได้ ห่างจากวัดวงศ์สุนันท์นิดเดียว

(Translated by Google) It is a very quiet ancient temple with few tourists. I met a monk who spoke a different language but was very friendly. Thanks to his help, I entered the museum and saw the 500-year-old golden Buddha protected by layers of glass. There are also some interesting things on the second floor. Impressive collection. There is a precarious cabin next to the museum, but it looks like it was once very exquisite, with some wood carvings placed upstairs. (Original) 游人很少非常宁静的古寺，遇到了一位语言不通但是十分友善的僧人，感谢他的帮助我才进入了博物馆内参观，看到了层层玻璃防护的500年金佛，二楼还有一些令我印象深刻的藏品。博物馆旁边有个岌岌可危的小木屋，但是看起来曾经也是很精致，楼上放了一些木雕。

This​ Wat​ gets points for history. It must be preserved for the future Generations. The temple is not the most beautiful Teakwood Temple but it is historic and it is very well-preserved the side of the temple has been a temple for over 1,000 years obviously this beautiful wooden Temple could not be 1,000 years old but it is very old and it is worth a visit

This was not on my list, And I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised upon visiting this beautiful wooden temple. I found this to be quite unique being made of wood. I am really glad I’ve found this temple.

A welcome surprise on the road ! Very unique temple that is completely different from the typical ones around the area

Beautiful Burmese style teak wood temple in the city of Phrae. A must see when in town.

Beautiful Shan style temple with the history of teak wood concession in Phrae. So you can offering the buddha image with the flowers and golden coil of yarn.

the most impressive temple in Phrae and northern Thailand, made from woods which is different from most of other temples. it is said that women not allowed to sit in the uppermost level. there are musical instruments and...lovely cats who would ask for some caressing from visitors.

Visit 26/3/2019 - Historic Teak wood Buddhist Temple. Lots of historical importance.

I was not expecting how much beautiful is this cave! This cave will surely amaze you. The staff was very helpful and informative!

Interesting to visit this place. Love the limestone with water flowing. Guess it the iconic stuff to see inside the cave. The steps up to thebcabe was not nicely patched hence its might be challenging for some. Plenty of parking. Short climb to the cave. Plenty of parking area.

Big cave with lots of dramatic lighting. It’s worth a quick stop

Great free place to visit. The caves are amazing inside if a little worry some as they are so wide haha Nicely lit up and it was very quiet. It's completely unaccessible for anyone with mobility issues unfortunately due to the height of the caves and the very rough steps. Outside the caves they have labelled all the trees if you are interested in that. Not too bad a view from the top also.

Awesome cave. Admission is free. Its about 100 meters of trekking up the rocky steps. The caverns sre lighted up in colours You ca go in without a guide. Its easy ar fully lighted. Awesome

Good exploring place, easy walking and nice environment.

Definitely one of the best caves I've visited in Thailand, and free. Tastefully lit inside with lots of stalactites and stalagmites. The climb to the cave is about 100 steps. Drinks and toilets available.

Beautifully lighted cave. No guide or torch light required. Paths are clearly marked and it’s an easy walk to the end of the cave (although the initial walk up to the entrance requires a bit of effort). Be amazed by the giant stalactites and the mini waterfall near the rear which is unique. There was no one inside when we visited in early Dec. Take time to enjoy the cave, the legend and take photos. No entrance fee, lots of free parking and friendly staff. Upon exit, be sure to ask the guys at the visitor center for a good lunch stop nearby. Not on google maps, it’s a house 200m left of the exit on the main road. Big bowl of egg noodles with lots of meatballs and seasoned pork for only 50 baht. Friendly owner and people!

Great for photography, we were the only ones there at about midday on a weekday. No entrance fee, worth a visit if passing.

A small cave 30 mins drive from Phrae. No entrance fee. Worth the time to visit if driving pass by.

We had a lovely time at this cave. The grounds are well maintained. Staff was friendly and helpful. The cave is currently dry and very easy to explore. There was a woman, working in the little store in the parking lot, who turned on the lights for us. We felt very lucky to be the only ones in the cave at the time. We also enjoyed feeding the animals there (Goats, deer, peacocks, ducks and chickens).

A must visit place if you're in the area. Free entry and expect to spend 45 minutes to an hour there.

What a wonderful night market. We had the best time. We tried new food strolling through the market on Christmas Eve. Great selection of food and great selection of goods for sale. So far - this is the best night market we have been to in Thailand. This market only happens on Saturday evenings. The event is several streets. Go hungry!

Very nice Saturday night market with a lot of food and gifts. Also fresh vegetables and fruits.

Cool street local market with local food and gift.

Great experience if you're looking for something authentically Thai! Great food. great drinks. Great products. Starts around 3 pm. Ends about 9 pm

Nice little Thai market, great food!

Must Go place in Phrae, you will love it. 💕

Good atmosphere and people!

Tired waitress and a lot of work including clearing tables. Harder when she was the only one serving. Nice garden atmosphere. Music was not eat piercing like most other places. Food was average.

4 stars for delicious food. But deduct 1 from wait for long time before get food. You better order in advance before you go

Great food and location

(Translated by Google) Went in the evening and the weather was great. There was live music. Ample parking. The food was delicious. The sour curry and omelet go together perfectly. Fish salad with lots of vegetables. The tom yam fish soup was a little too much. Crispy grilled pork kale salad, delicious and flavorful. (Original) ไปช่วงเย็นอากาศดีมาก มีดนตรีสดฟัง ที่จอดรถกว้างขวาง อาหารอร่อย แกงส้มกับไข่เจียวเข้ากันสุดๆ ลาบปลาผักแกล้มเยอะ ต้มยำปลาคังน้ำเยอะไปนิด ยำคะน้าหมูย่างกรอบอร่อยรสชาติดี

(Translated by Google) An open-air restaurant next to the main road. The food is big, but the taste isn't very satisfying. (Original) ร้านอาหารแบบเปิดโล่งติดถนนใหญ่ อาหารจานใหญ่ แต่รสชาติไม่ค่อยถูกปากเท่าไหร่

(Translated by Google) Waited for food for almost a full hour. When we entered, we noticed that the other tables had already received food. I think it won't take long. What's even better is The table came later and got the food first. When I asked, they said they sent the bill a little late????? A little????? Can't wait an hour for food. Whoever can handle it, go. (Original) รออาหารเกือบชั่วโมงเต็ม ตอนเข้ามาสังเกตุแล้วว่าโต๊ะอื่นๆได้อาหารกันหมดแล้ว คิดว่าไม่นานคงได้ ทีเด็ดกว่านั้นคือ โต๊ะมาทีหลังดันได้อาหารก่อนอีกพอถามก็บอกส่งบิลช้าไปนิด????? นิด????? รออาหารเป็นชั่วโมงก็ไม่ไหว ใครไหวก็ไปเลย

(Translated by Google) Restaurants that use fish as an ingredient Every menu is delicious. There's a wide space to sit and chill comfortably because during this time the winter is about 25 degrees. Ample parking, the shop is next to the road, and the bathrooms are clean. (Original) ร้านอาหารที่มีปลาเป็นวัตถุดิบ อร่อยทุกเมนูครับพื้นที่กว้างนั่งชิวสบายเพราะช่วงนี้ฤดูหนาวประมาณ25องศา ที่จอดรถกว้างร้านอยู่ติดริมถนนห้องน้ำสะอาดดี

(Translated by Google) Big dishes, inexpensive price, delicious taste. The place looks old. You will clearly see it during the day. It should be improved, especially the dust and cobwebs. (Original) อาหารจานใหญ่ ราคาไม่แพง รสชาติอร่อย สถานที่ดูเก่า ๆ ไปกลางวันจะเห็นชัด ควรปรับปรุง โดยเฉพาะขี้ฝุ่นและหยากไย่

The Gingerbread House B&B is a welcoming cozy stay with a wonderful downstairs cafe, friendly staff and family. The family taught us the history of some of the locally made white spirits and after a tasting session we ended up buying four bottles of different types !. As I type this review I am now on stage 10 of a 20 stage cycling journey from Chiang Mai to Phuket and we have stayed at ten different lodgings including high priced ones in some towns. None of them have left us with a feeling of wanting to return to one day except for the Gingerbread B&B which is why we are taking the time out to write this review - great place, great team, great ambiance.

This place is beautiful in its setup with big wooden beams, beautiful street view, rustic interior and plants. Waffles, cooked breakfast and granola on offer with soda and coffee based drinks.

Good: Short walk to street with food vendors; artsy rustic (teak board walls) room design; Boutique bathroom (for Thailand 5 stars); Good wireless; Relaxed Thai hospitality; Breakfast all day restaurant (not too expensive); AC very good; Easy ordering food and coffee to upstairs dining area or room service; Parking easy across street in police station parking lot Why only 4 stars? Room would be challenging to organize if you two large suitcases or a lot of luggage; A small microwave would be very convenient for reheating street food; A bit more expensive than many many comfortable places around town.

Who puts corn, peas and carrots in scrambled eggs? This place does. I will never go back.

I was very disappointed with the food. After reading (probably fake) reviews I was hoping to have a good time and enjoy a good lunch. Extremely disappointed and wasted my time and left feeling ripped off by social media marketing and the restaurant of course

Unfortunatly this is the only place open for breakfast, and early enough before busses. Super upmarket and fancy, expensive, not really worth it, my eggs were under cooked :((

The best brekky and info in Phrae. Excellent coffee too. Highly recommended.

Been visited the place was nice atmosphere with warm welcome from the host

The most beautiful coffee shop in Phrae! The B&B is amazing; it’s absolutely worth the money! Everything is super clean and the bed is very comfortable. The owners and the staff are extremely kind. I’ve been here 3 times already and I highly recommend this place. You get two bottles of water for free and breakfast is included. You can also have lunch there. The quality of the food is really good. I love this place and go there as often as possible

Excellent single-origin coffee made from beans sourced from Laos and delicious breakfast and lunch menu. Welcoming and hospitable staff. Central location.

Highly enjoyable stay. Clean, comfortable rooms in a convenient location. Easy to walk to night Market and historic sites. Very friendly and welcoming hosts.

Great spot to chill and have a meal. Staff were awesome. Food was more than acceptable. This town is full of pleasant surprises.

👍

Place is fine. Good local restaurant. Nice atmosphere, many tables, fair design. But, far not all dishes are really good. Soft shell crab with pomelo salad worth 5 stars. But tempura shrimps very average, fishcakes pretty standard, and grilled pork neck (kho moo yang) destroy the effect. This dish in recommend menu, and it is done in very author style. Lamb seasoning to have first taste of "sua rong hai", and chinese style sauce, type of jim jaew, but very-very sweet, this sweetness block taste of any other dishes and after huge amount of spiciness. If you don't like sweet pork in China, then you will not like one in this restaurant. It might be great experience for some anyway.. Second weak point is live music. Guitars and performance more or less ok, but singer was... Something you can expect in 420k population province 😁 Try another restaurants if you are picky. But also nothing too bad to come here for dinner. So, 3 stars. Oh, after trying one more dish, their signature, I'll change to 2 stars. Pieces of fish and squid have some spoiled smell, and taste too, even it was hidden by spicy yum souce. Oysters and shripms in this salad was fine, kitchen is not accurate with checking ingredients. 2 stars, hope management will recheck their processes.

Wonderful service is what we got from our waiter/waitress. Superb table along the water, romantic. Quick and efficient service. Food is average but the place is nice. Lots of bigger tables.

Beautiful spacious restaurant Very nice design with a Hugh selection of seating areas Good selection of food. The food arrived very quickly but it the rice took nearly 20 mins, so but the time the rice arrived the main dishes were cold Apart for the issue with the rice the staff very attentive

Good food good taste with scenic view. Live music starts around 7.30 pm. Price of some menu is a little high to me.

I like koi pond here and thai style food is also good

Great for family. Foods are so tasty with reasonable price. Thai and fusion can be found here.

Pleasant place for dinner with decent food and live music. Not many places to go out for dinner that are open late in Phrae.

Very clean restaurant with soft music, kind waitresses and a careful woman chef who has made the best meal for us since three days on our journey. Yesterday we were having food at an Italian restaurant in Lampang, it was just half as good but double the price of Wee Wee. Would be back any time again.

Good service, excellent food. A place to go if you are in Phrae. Hamburguer and wrap were amazing. If we come back to Phrae we'll repeat for sure.

Terrible experience. Giving 3 stars because in Phrae it might be the only one restaurant with some “italian” dishes… maybe their pizza worth visit, but we tried burger (very average, very “thai”), spaghetti marinara (so-so la-la, nothing special) and buffalo chicken wings which was the most terrible ones. You can choose sauce, we did choose “buffalo” and can not eat even one single wing. Too much vinegar in sauce, also it become heated on the hot wings and you get this warm vinegar terrible strong smell and taste, obvious mistake of local chef, it is not tasty, not buffalo, and you get this vinegar umbrae. Disappointed much after reading other reviews. This restaurant have good ratings because of low competition in Phrae. Pass this place, it not worth your time, if you did not stuck here for a while.

Wow, I like to think I know good pizza coming from the US, this place was better than I was expecting! The pizza was good and so was the pork chop, great sauce!

Lovely place. Phrae is known for the local dishes, but if you like western food: this is the place to be! We had dinner three times because the food is really delicious and well prepared. We had chicken, salmon, salads, tortillas, pizza. All dishes were great: very fresh ingredients, tasty and nice portions. I was almost sure that the cook was from abroad, but no: the cook is Thai! Congratulations, you are very well trained!

Newly renovated relaxed chill restaurant. Great Food too! Highly recommended!

Good place. I tried the double cheeseburger and it was quite decent. I will definitely return to try the pizza.
