Phitsanulok unveils ‘Sapa’ of Thailand

Phitsanulok has introduced Phu Thap Si in Ban Nam Chuang as “Sapa Muang Thai”, or Sapa in Thailand.

Located in Lao Cai province in northwest Vietnam, Sapa is a famous tourist destination known for its rice terraces, pleasant weather and its peak at Fansipan, the highest mountain in Indochina.

Ban Nam Chuang in Phitsanulok’s Chat Trakan district is home to a Hmong ethnic group who are predominantly farmers that grow rice in about 500 rai of terraced paddies in mountainous areas.

As the province wants to generate income for the villagers, it is promoting the village as a tourist attraction.

Besides its terraced rice fields, visitors will also have a chance to observe the local way of life of Hmong villagers, visit a royal dam project, flower fields, Tad Pla Klang and Tad Pla Khao waterfalls.

Homestay services are also available. Contact 063-067-6100, 087-317-8089 and 089-244-2552.

Please help to support BangkokJack News through these troubled times... Poor government reaction to the COVID virus has left many, including some who rely upon us, in very difficult positions.

And still we try to deliver the REAL news to you on a daily basis. But this all comes at a cost and as tourism has dried up and with expats going home whenever they can, income streams and ad revenue is also drying up.

And this is why we appeal to our tens of thousands of readers to help out however you can - to keep us independent and opinionated.

Just Bt100 per month makes all the difference and will keep some of us in noodle soup for a day.

Alternatively please click on the advert each time you read a story and that will boost our ad revenue, at no cost to yourself.

Thank you so much to those who already do support us. It means a lot to everyone.
