The first stop on the tour was one of the most impressive. The temple was a stunning building and Tui recalled how the last time he brought an Italian photographer who was so captivated with the temple landscape, that he immediately fired off two rolls of film. A devastated vihara which stands with a brick wall is garnished with a principal Buddha image. It is no wonder why the temple is such a big attraction. We then moved on to Wat Lok Kaya Sutharam.Over the Lop Buri River, we crossed and proceeded to the King Naresuan Monument and Wat Phukhao Thong. It was a long ride that took us onto a highway to Angthong. We passed a reservoir that is a favourite relaxation spot for local people. It is said that in past times, Ayutthaya residents rowed their boats to the area during the flooding season. The original land was a flood plain. At times of war between Ayutthaya and the Burmese, the latter had to retreat their army when the flooding season arrived. 
The remote province of Nan in the north of Thailand is known as an oasis of calm and tranquility.
Nan culture remains prevalent in the area and it has remained largely unscathed from the influences of the outside world.
Despite the peacefulness of the area, the region's stunning nature offers adventure seekers the opportunity to take part in a variety of exciting sports that belie the province's sleepy image.
Nan is among the last provinces most Thai people would think of when they plan an adventure trip.
And if you mentioned the Wa river, the majority of people would be hard pressed to place it on a map.
Difficult access has kept this wild river relatively unknown to all but the most enthusiastic adventurers.
Though some may have experienced rafting at a lower level of the river where the rapids are not so difficult, very few have seen the upper and middle levels of the waterway.
