Phukha Cafe in Nan town

Destination Travel Guide Nan, North Thailand
Exterior at Phukha Cafe in Nan town, North Thailand

Phukha Cafe is not only a Coffee Shop but also a restaurant. And the nice thing is they are specialised in a bit different kind of food, so called hill-tribe Hmong food. You should try their Tom Kaduk Kai Dum (Black chicken in soup). And Phukha Cafe is part of Phukha Silverware & Hill-Tribe Museum so you can also visit their little museum and their silverware shop. Nice place for small groups.

  • Opening hours : 8:00 - 22:00
  • Kitchen : Hot & Cold drinks + Thai food

Day 8 of Voluntary Self Isolation at StayHome

Image
As there will not be any traveling in the next few months I will update you about living in Social Distance at StayHome during the Corona Crisis. I started this StayHome thread on 22 March 2020 but since 15 March 2020 we are in a kind of self chosen isolation, we only go to town for shopping. This is Day 8 at 29 March 2020. Photo above was made at 23 March 2020 on 8:00am. Do you see the mountains of Doi Phu Kha? Well me neither. Have a look at the photo below to see what you could see 2 days earlier. That photo was taken on 21 March 2020 on 10:00am. Here you can see at least the first mountains, while on a good clear day you will be able to see 3 more mountains behind that! Thanks to lack of law enforcement, lack of education, greed and just plane stupidity people keep on burning remains of harvests, garbage and whatever is in the way. We can see the mountains burning, we can smell the smoke from small fires nearby. Local people are in the long term killing themselves, their family a…

Lunch at Khao Soi Ton Nam Noodle Restaurant in Nan town

Image
Khao Soi Ton Nam Noodle Restaurant is in Thai just called Khao Soi Ton Nam and is located near D-Best OTOP Market just 100m before the Wat Ming Muang. Khao Soi Ton Nam is serving the best Khao Soi, a northern style curry noodle dish served with chicken or beef. Khao Soi Ton Nam was established about 45 years ago and 15 years ago it was taken over by the same sweet ladies of Hot Bread that is next door. And they are still serving the same delicious Khao Soi by the same recipe of the original owner, a little oil and freshly made chili paste. And still at the same location, it has become a institution of Nan town, not only for the delicious Khao Soi but also for the friendly smile and information about Nan province.

Travel Tips : The Corona Crisis update on 20 March 2020

Image
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? 
Personally I think you are crazy to travel anywhere at this moment (and for the following months). For safety reasons for yourself and others it might be best to stay where you are.

Day 11 of Voluntary Self Isolation at StayHome

Image
As there will not be any traveling in the next few months I will update you about living in Social Distance at StayHome during the Corona Crisis. I started this StayHome thread on 22 March 2020 but actually since 15 March 2020 we are in a kind of self chosen isolation, we only go to town for shopping. This is Day 11 at 1 April 2020. So we now have a US AQI of 173 (Unhealthy for sensitive people) with an pm2.5 of 98.3 µg/m3 (where above 25 is unhealthy). I did receive my air purifier, so at least in the house we can improve the air quality a little bit. But in the past days the air quality has gone from bad to totally shit! For postings about air quality in Thailand click AQI (Air Quality Index).

In the meanwhile the Self Isolation is not so Voluntary anymore. Air Asia did stop flying, so no more flights to/from Bangkok. Inter-provincial traveling is limited to essential-travel-only. All 3 main road to Nan province have road blocks to check people. Smaller roads are blocked. Border to…
