Incoming rain in Pua

Destination Travel Guide Nan, North Thailand
Incoming rain
Yesterday we were sitting on the verandah of our bungalow and while the sun was almost going down and strong wind blew over the rice fields while dark clouds were formed above us. And a rain was coming in. We had a short but heavy rain with thunder & lighting and since that the temperatures have dropped.

Having a drink at Rai Sut Mung Pho Farm & Homestay near Bo Klua

Image
Rai Saut Mung Pho Farm & Homestay is located in the mountains of Doi Phu Kha and a bit difficult to find especially with the logo suggesting it is in Pua. Yes, technically it is located in Pua district but in reality it is better to say it is along route 1081 from Bo Klua to Santisuk. And even then you will only see a sign along the road and have to drive a small dirt track (be careful in the rain). But then hidden in the mountains you will find a oase of flowers at this so called Bio Farm where you can enjoy a coffee or a Thai snack while overlooking the stunning views over the mountains of Doi Phu Kha. And in the cool season it is a great place for camping.

Travel Tips : The Corona Crisis update on 20 March 2020

Warning : I am writing this on 20 March 2020 and the graphic on the left is from 18 March 2020 and comes from the Department of Disease Control Thailand. This graphic is not meant as information about the corona virus. And I am not a medical specialist, so what I am going to write now is based on my own interpretation of the news and medical information that is currently available. For more information about the corona virus in Thailand you might also have a look at Wikipedia about the 2020 coronavirus outbreak in Thailand. Although the TAT still tries to sell the sunny beaches of Thailand they also have Thailand Tourisme Updates. For reality updates about traveling to/from Thailand you could have a look at Facebook from Richard Barrow in Thailand.

Still traveling to Thailand?
