Nan - Tours of Northern Thailand

Nan sits in Northern Thailand fertile valley, nearly 668 kilometers from Bangkok. The districts in this sleepy province include Mueang, Wiang Sa, Na Noi, Pua, Chiang Klang, Tha Wang Pha, Thung Chang, Mae Charim, Ban Luang, Na Mun, Santi Suk, Bo Kluea, Chaloem Phra Kiat, Song Khwae, and Phu Phiang.

The inhabitants of Nan are Laotian by descent, and many can trace their heritage back more than 700 years in the Pua district, eventually settling on the Nan River basin. The province’s history is deeply entangled in political and religious turmoil with the various nations that occupied it—Lanna, Burma and Thailand Tours. Today Nan is still home to many of the original hilltribes who continue to practice their unique customs and traditions.
