It’s Thursday. Day 1 of our Magical Mystery Tour across northern Thailand. today we head from Chang Rai to Phayao, via the home that Lek grew up in. In Phayou, we will relax at the pool, watch a sunset, then visit the night market for some street food.
Stop 1 – Hemps on Thailand
Although it may sound as if we stopped for cannabis, it is also an excellent coffee shop. This place does research and makes pharmaceutical grade cbd products for the international market.
Stop 2 – Lek’s Childhood Home
We stopped in a hamlet in the middle of rice fields to visit with Lek’s parents and family. They are building a new house. Her sister also lives in the compound, with her disabled son. He suffered from brain damage at three years old, and needs constant care.
We said hello, watched the construction, checked out the rice drying, and rather enjoyed meeting Lek’s family.
Naga Tara Resort – Phayao
Turns out, this is a pretty sweet resort. Phayao is on a fairly large lake, and the resort was on a northeastern shore. Very nice, with great sunset.
Phayao Night Market
For dinner, we decided to check out the night market. Lek gave us a great tour of street food.
Loving the photo journal…please keep it up!
