Phrae, Provincial capital in northern Thailand
The city spreads along the eastern bank of Yom River, surrounded by mountains and extensive teak forests that extend across nine square kilometers.
Founded in 828 as Muang Phon, the city developed into a major center for teak trade during the 1800s, attracting foreign companies to the region.
The temples of Phrae, including Wat Phra That Cho Hae and Wat Chom Sawan, display architectural elements combining northern Thai and Isan building traditions.
Visitors reach Phrae by transferring at Den Chai station from the Bangkok-Chiang Mai railway line or through domestic flights at Phrae Airport.
The Phae Muang Phi park contains sandstone formations shaped through natural erosion into strange configurations across an extensive geological area.
