Phrae
แพร่
Phrae is a quiet northern province celebrated for its beautifully preserved teak architecture, with the Vongburi House and Ban Prathap Chai standing as outstanding examples of Lanna-style carved teak mansions. The province is Thailand's largest teak-growing region and the traditional indigo-dyed mo hom fabric produced here is a distinctive cultural product. Phae Muang Phi, an eroded sandstone formation resembling a ghost city, provides a surreal landscape unlike anything else in the north.
