Phrae Province
A small northern province famed for teak architecture and ancient temples, with a "ghost city" of strange rock pillars and few tourists.
Phrae Province lies in northern Thailand, with the Yom River flowing through its capital. Historically it was an important town in the Lanna region and a center of the teak trade. The old town preserves remnants of its city walls and several old teak houses, of which Vongburi House is among the best known; outside town, Wat Phra That Cho Hae is an important pagoda in northern Thailand. Phae Mueang Phi Forest Park, with its earth pillars sculpted by wind and rain erosion, is known as the "ghost city." Mo hom, traditional indigo-dyed cloth, is also a local specialty. The cool season from November to February is best. Phrae has its own airport, and you can also come by the Northern Line road or railway.
