Pua, Thailand to Bo Kluea, Thailand Run
Highway 1256 through the mountains from Pua to Bo Kluea, then Highway 1081 south from Bo Kluea. Bo Kluea is a town, and has a well from which they obtain salt water, which is then boiled down and sold as either table salt or salt scrub, etc. Bo means well, while Kluea means salt. That's just what we went to see, and yes - we bought some table salt. :) Note: Nothing but wind noise captured by the camera, so I substituted music. I do not own the rights to the music, and will take the video down if necessary.

This spectacular access road to Doi PhuKha National Park is part of famed Doi Phukha Loop, along with R1081.
It begins its journey eastwards and upwards from Pua to Bo Kluea across sharp ridge lines towards Doi Dong Ya Wai at height of 1,939m providing one of the most jaw-droppingly scenic rides in Thailand. Truly one memorable ride through thick forest and across switchbacks, tight corners, scenic viewpoints, sweeping curves and standing rows of steep mountains, including 1980m high Doi Phukha itself.

Saturday Evening Market Nan Thailand August 2014
Saturday Evening Market Nan Thailand August 2014. Saturday evening market in the city of Nan used to be located at so called Walking Street, Sumon Thewarat Road, near Wat Hua Wiang Tai temple [วัดหัวเวียงใต้]. This is the market you can see on the video. In 2015 it was moved near Wat Phumin temple, where, in my opinion, it lost its charm. From what I’ve heard it was moved because of some financial issues.
At the market you can try a variety of Thai and Northern-Thai dishes, buy some clothes and all you can expect from a market in Thailand.
Little-known Nan is a very peaceful province in Northern Thailand in the remote valley of Nan River. It is about 600 kilometers from Bangkok. It borders with Uttardit, Phrae and Payao provinces and Sainyabuli Province of Laos. The province is subdivided in 15 districts: Mueang Nan, Mae Charim, Ban Luang, Wiang Sa, Na Noi, Thung Chang, Pua, Tha Wang Pha, Ma Muen, Chaing Klang, Santi Suk, Bo Kluea, Chaolem Phra Kiat, Phu Piang, and Song Khwae.
There are many interesting tourists sites - King of Nan's Teak House, Nan National Museum, Wat Phumin and more. Nan is famous for its longboat racing festival held every year in September/October.
