With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up everything that Phayao, 17 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Phayao Lake, Wat Sri Khom Kham Temple and Anal Yothiparam Temple. Don’t skip Chiang Rai either! Just 35 miles away, Chiang Rai Clock Tower, Saturday Walking Street Market and Central Plaza Chiangrai are essential stops here.
