Khum Chao Luang in PhraePhrae is a charming small town with around 20,000 permanent residents. Phrae has a long history going back possibly as far as the 7th Century. Phrae also had its own ancestral rulers until 1902 when the town was invaded by an army from Burma. Two of the most interesting tourist attractions in Phrae, Khum Chao Luang and the Vongburi House Museum, are former residences are the royal family which offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these regional potentates. Phrae used to be one of the world’s major producers of teak, which made its ruling family very rich and provided a building material for many of the older houses in Phrae. Teak is still grown in the hills around Phrae and the surrounding area is slowly being rehabilitated after several centuries of rapid deforestation. In addition to the teak houses, Phrae also has some beautiful small temples, such as Wat Phong Sunan, which are also worth visiting. What Phrae doesn’t have, however, is the lively nightlife that would associate with Chiang Mai or Bangkok. The night food market in the town centre is about as lively as gets after dark in Phrae.
