Phrae Hotels
Thailand is so rich in cultural and historical heritage that every city and even small towns provide glimpses of this richness. Phrae is famous for its vast teak forests and its location on the Yom river banks almost 555 kilometers from Bangkok adds to its appeal. Built almost 800 years back, the total land mass of Phrae is 6,538 sq km and it rests in the lap of the mighty mountains of Thailand. There are eight administrative districts in Phrae and they are Sung Men, Muang, Den Chai, Wang Chin, Long, Song, Nong Muang Khai and Rong Kwang.
What will really attract you towards Phrae is its location, which is more off the beaten track. If you travel to Phrae around May then you will witness their annual rocket festival marking the beginning of the season for rice growing. Phrae is economically stable due to the existence of coal mining and logging businesses and is a reasonably well-developed area.
There is much more to Phrae than meets the eye and you have to visit the place to feel the many charms. One of the biggest attractions is the temple architecture that has survived the storms, the fires and arson but can still behold your imagination. The walls of the temple talk about the great art of the Lanna architecture. This can be seen in the form of multi-tiered roofs. Phrae is a land of romance and love stories especially the legend of Phu Chana Sibtid and Phra Lor.
