Buddha Trace: Nan - Phrae
4 Days, 3 Nights – Following the Buddha’s Path
It is said that during Buddha’s time, he journeyed to what is now the Nan province, blessing the people of a local village. Upon seeing a holy figure, the villagers offered him fruit—a dried and hardened myrobalan (fruit of the terminalia tree). Buddha placed it in water to soften it, and after eating, he foretold, “This place will one day hold my relics, which someone will come to enshrine…” Today, this site is known as Wat Phra That Chae Haeng.
Another story from that time speaks of Buddha’s visit to Doi Kosiyachakka Mountain. Luwa, a local tribal chief, paid homage to him, and Buddha gifted him a strand of hair as a keepsake. He instructed that it be placed in a nearby cave, prophesying that this area would become a sacred ground. Years later, after Buddha’s passing, the prophecy came true with the enshrinement of the relic at Wat Phra That Cho Hae in Phrae, alongside other precious relics.
In partnership with local guides from Nan and Phrae, JC Tour has crafted the Buddha Trace package, offering a deep, culturally rich journey through these two historical provinces. This experience brings together sites of profound significance, woven into a single itinerary, so you can embrace every story and preserve it as part of your life’s journey.
We recommend reading the program’s details carefully to decide if this unique, memory-filled package should be the next chapter in your life’s stories—a meaningful experience of following in the Buddha’s footsteps.

This revered Phra That Cho Hae
This revered Phra That Cho Hae is a cherished landmark and spiritual symbol of Phrae Province, and a central destination for travelers.

Wat Chom Sawan - Phrae (The Strength of Buddhism)
The people of Myanmar are known for their profound devotion to Buddhism, with faith that runs deep throughout the culture. They demonstrate this reverence by constructing numerous temples across their homeland and even abroad. Every Buddhist sanctuary crafted by Burmese artisans stands out for its meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the highest dedication to their craft. Wat Chom Sawan, built over 500 years ago by skilled Burmese artisans, is a prime example of this exceptional artistry. Today, due to its exquisite beauty and cultural significance, the Fine Arts Department has registered Wat Chom Sawan as a national treasure.
