Kwan Phayao, Phayao Province, Thailand
4.0 (140 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Phayao City Bodies of Water
Heart of Phayao.
Originated about 80 years ago due to the construction of a dam across Ing river (which turned the surrounding lowland region into a huge reservoir as we seen today), this is the biggest freshwater lake in northern Thailand. The lovely lake has still water with a beautiful mountainous background view and boasts an abundance of life including fish, birds, and aquatic plants floating on its surface. Although the lake is located at the center of Phayao city, it made me feel at peace. In the morning, we walked leisurely along the lakeshore and released some fish into the lake. Then, we travelled around (and on) the lake and visited many attractions. Finally, we were back again in the night to wander around a walking street (along the lakeshore) consisted of many stalls selling food, coconut ice cream, or souvenirs.

Beautiful Setting
Kwan Phayao is a large lake in a beautiful setting in the more Northern region if Thailand. There is a very nice promenade for walking along the lakeshore. The path is right up close to the shore. There are many nice cafes and coffee shops located here as well. Worth a visit and a nice bucolic option.
