About Phrae

Phrae, a tranquil city in northern Thailand, is unmissable for its charming blend of rural charm and cultural heritage. The city's standout attraction is the Phrae Clock Tower, a beautiful example of colonial architecture dating back to the early 20th century. Travellers also adore the city's unique 'wooden house' architecture, with many traditional homes still intact and offering a glimpse into the region's rich history.

The best time to visit Phrae is during the cooler months from November to February, when the temperature is pleasant and ideal for exploring the city's many attractions. For first-timers, it's worth noting that many local restaurants and cafes offer free water refills, making it easy to stay hydrated while exploring the city without breaking the bank.
