Nan - Luang Prabang
Thailand to Laos Package 5 Days 4 Nights
Discover the Hidden Life: A Journey into Nan, Thailand & Luang Prabang, Laos
Life presents us with two options: the life we’re living and the one we have yet to experience. Sometimes, a life waits, hidden within each of us, longing to be embraced. In our "Hidden Life" package by JC Tour, we invite you to step beyond the ordinary into a world of natural beauty, cultural heritage, and profound memories through two remarkable destinations—Nan, Thailand, and Luang Prabang, Laos.
Nan: Thailand’s Dream Destination
Nan, the enchanting province where nature is abundant and faith is deeply rooted, captures the soul with every step. Known for its breathtaking mountains, flowing rivers, lush meadows, and coffee and tea plantations, this hidden paradise offers an atmosphere of serenity. Imagine crisp, cool air year-round, landscapes that change with the seasons, and people who greet you with a warmth so genuine you’ll feel immediately at home. Here, Buddhism isn’t merely a belief; it’s a way of life. This strong faith permeates the region, reflected in exquisite temples that seem to stand as silent guardians of the land. Visiting Nan feels like stepping into a dream, and JC Tour invites you to make this dream a reality—why wait any longer?
Luang Prabang: A World Heritage Wonder
Journey across the border to Luang Prabang, Laos—a UNESCO World Heritage city where time slows, peace abounds, and history whispers from every corner. Known for its beautifully simple architecture and vibrant traditions, Luang Prabang is a place that captures the essence of harmony and elegance. With streets lined by traditional houses, richly adorned temples, and locals engaged in age-old customs, the city exudes a unique beauty best described as “easy but perfect.” Here, happiness isn’t measured; it’s felt deeply in every moment. As you wander its streets, you’ll find yourself surrounded by an intangible sense of contentment—a feeling that, for a brief while, nothing in the world is missing.

Phou Si Stupa
Atop a hill standing 150 meters above Luang Prabang lies the magnificent Phousi Stupa, a stunning and unique landmark that has become a sought-after destination for visitors eager to pay homage to this revered site. Climbing Phousi Hill offers both a direct and indirect sense of reward. The "direct profit" is the pilgrimage itself, ascending to honor the sacred stupa. The "indirect profit" comes as an unexpected gift: a breathtaking, panoramic view of Luang Prabang that stretches across nearly every corner of the city.
To the west, the serene Mekong River flows gently, winding as far as the eye can see. To the east, the cityscape unfolds in all directions, revealing the town, the airport, and beyond to the endless horizon. The vista from Phousi Hill is unforgettable—a vantage point where you can see all that makes Luang Prabang so enchanting. “Let’s journey up the mystical ‘Hill of the Rishi’ and experience it for ourselves.”
Note: Originally called Phu Suang, the hill was later renamed Phou Si, or "Mountain of the Rishi," to honor the many sages who once made this hill their dwelling place.
Luang Prabang Market
The night market in Luang Prabang, known locally as the “Dark Market,” is an evening spectacle filled with variety, vibrancy, and warmth. It’s an experience like no other, where visitors can wander through stalls showcasing the rich and diverse culture of the city. With an array of goods from all corners of Luang Prabang—delicious local foods, traditional clothing, handcrafted souvenirs, and intricate artwork—the market reveals the simple yet profound lifestyle of the Lao people.
What truly makes the experience unforgettable is the friendly, welcoming spirit of the vendors. Their genuine smiles and easy-going nature turn every transaction into a friendly conversation, adding to the charm of the market. Here, enjoyment arises from this unique connection, where friendliness and warmth make every step through the market feel like a celebration of Luang Prabang’s heart and soul.
Royal Palace and Wat Xieng Thong
The morning almsgiving ritual, or "Tak Bat," is a daily tradition cherished by the people of Luang Prabang. At dawn, in the fresh, chilly air, this peaceful town awakens to a scene of serene beauty. Monks in flowing saffron robes approach from a distance, moving quietly through the streets. Locals and visitors alike, dressed respectfully and holding offerings of rice and food, line the streets in quiet rows, ready to participate in this meaningful act of giving.
The entire scene is breathtaking—a beautiful fusion of tradition, reverence, and community that brings a profound sense of peace to all who witness it. The experience fills one’s heart with happiness, a rare moment of quiet connection. You, too, will have the chance to join this sacred almsgiving ceremony, becoming part of Luang Prabang’s timeless ritual.
Royal Palace and Wat Xieng Thong
Wat Xieng Thong and the Royal Palace Museum in Luang Prabang are two cultural treasures located near each other, each showcasing the intricate artistry and rich heritage of this historic city. The exteriors of both buildings are masterpieces in themselves, adorned with ornate details that exemplify the traditional art of Luang Prabang. The mural paintings at Wat Xieng Thong are so exquisite that words can hardly capture their beauty. These scenes, alive with color and detail, reflect the deep spirituality and creative expression of the region.
Inside the Royal Palace Museum, where photography is not permitted, visitors are treated to a collection of invaluable artifacts. Each exhibit tells a part of Luang Prabang’s story, offering a glimpse into its royal past and daily life in eras gone by. These displays not only enhance our understanding but ignite the imagination, transporting visitors back to a world where the people of Luang Prabang lived in harmony with their customs, nature, and each other.
Kuang Si Waterfall
The allure of Luang Prabang is rich and diverse, drawing travelers from around the world, but some attractions are simply unmissable. Among these, the waterfalls stand as one of the most breathtaking sights. Here, water cascades down a high cliff, creating a shimmering veil that captivates all who see it. The beauty of this waterfall is unparalleled, with each level of water flowing into serene turquoise pools below, terraced naturally down the hillside.
When these stunning elements—majestic falls and terraced pools—come into view together, they form a scene that feels like one of the world’s most beautiful waterfalls, set against the raw, unspoiled beauty of nature. The journey to reach this spot fills visitors with an overwhelming sense of pride and awe, knowing they have arrived at such a rare, untouched wonder.
Span Stop Dissonanceg
Dissonance represents a mental complexity that creates discomfort, a feeling of unresolved tension that compels the mind to seek answers and clarity. When clarity is elusive, this unease can disrupt and diminish creativity, leaving the mind in a state of frustration. To alleviate this cognitive tension brought on by daily life, experts suggest immersing oneself in peaceful, simple, yet beautiful surroundings—an environment that allows the mind to breathe and reset.
In the heart of such serenity lies Sapan, a small village embraced by lush green rice fields, surrounded by verdant mountains, a gentle river, and soft clouds drifting throughout the day. The air is pure, and the village exudes simplicity, where locals greet visitors with warmth and kindness. A trip to Sapan offers more than happiness; it is a journey that soothes the mind, dissolving dissonance with the quiet power of nature and peace. Here, amid nature’s embrace, the mind finds relief, and creativity returns refreshed.
Sky Road - The Most Beautiful Road in Thailand
This route winds from Wat Kong in Pua District, looping around to Bo Kluea District in Nan Province. The road twists and turns in the shape of the number 3 along its length, tracing the ridges of the mountain peaks. From this elevated path, travelers can gaze out over sweeping mountain views on both sides of the road, creating the surreal sensation of driving on a road suspended in mid-air. You’ll truly feel this unique atmosphere as you ride along, capturing the essence of “floating on the sky road” that defines this journey.
Nan Riverside Art Gallery "Of course, people have short lives, but art never dies."
At the Nan Riverside Art Gallery, visitors find themselves immersed in a diverse collection of art across various disciplines and perspectives. From the moment you step in, there’s an almost tangible sense of artistic emotion in the air. Moving through each artwork at your own pace, you’ll feel a remarkable calmness wash over you, as if each piece lifts your spirit little by little. Here, you’re not just observing; you’re truly “consuming art,” allowing it to resonate deeply. This experience offers a profound connection to creativity that refreshes the mind and soul.
Road on Hill Top
From Bo Kluea, the winding route leads back to Wat Phuket in Pua District, offering an unforgettable journey through some of the region's most scenic viewpoints and attractions. Along the way, you’ll pass through numerous must-see spots like the 1715 Viewpoint and Phu Kha Viewpoint, each offering breathtaking panoramas of the northern landscape. The journey also takes you to the Highland Cooperative Shop, where you can sample and purchase fine local teas and an array of northern fruits.
As you continue, the route winds through ancient, pristine forests classified as “Agent Forests,” rich in biodiversity and untouched natural beauty. You’ll also pass through Doi Phu Kha National Park, where the tour includes stops, allowing you to immerse yourself in the grandeur of this protected wilderness. This route, packed with unique views and experiences, promises a deep connection with northern Thailand’s natural and cultural treasures.
Wat Bo Kaew firsthand
On the full moon night of Buddhist holy days, a radiant orb is said to rise from the sacred well at Wat Bo Kaew, visible to all who gaze upon it. This is not merely a coincidence but a true marvel, a phenomenon that has become part of the temple’s mystique. Inspired by this miraculous light, every structure at Wat Bo Kaew has been crafted from finely cut glass, gleaming like a palace of crystal. Whether it’s due to the blessings of divine forces or something beyond explanation, Wat Bo Kaew stands as a testament to beauty and reverence. Today, you will have the chance to experience the profound atmosphere of Wat Bo Kaew firsthand.
Bo Kluea Wisdom, passed down for over 800 years
The ancient salt wells of Bo Kluea embody wisdom passed down for over 800 years, preserving a unique method of extracting pure mountain salt from underground brine. This traditional process carefully filters the brine, leaving only the purest, medicinal-grade salt with health-enhancing properties. Known for its natural benefits, including the ability to aid digestion and promote overall wellness, this mountain salt is revered for its purity and efficacy.
With this package, you’ll have the rare opportunity to immerse yourself in this age-old tradition. Witness each step of the salt-making process, gaining insight into the wisdom and skills that have been carefully handed down through generations. It’s an experience that connects you to the deep cultural heritage of Bo Kluea’s ancient salt wells.
Wat Phra That Chae Haeng
Wat Phra That Chae Haeng is a legendary temple that predates recorded history, with tales recounting the Buddha’s own visit to this sacred place. During the tour, you’ll hear the full story, unveiling each step of its revered past. The golden stupa, radiant and resplendent, alongside the original ancient stupa (smaller in size), and every sacred structure within the temple grounds, fills the heart with a profound sense of peace and spiritual harmony—a feeling best described as boon banleng, or “a melody of blessings.”
Doi Samer Dao viewpoint.
At the Doi Samer Dao viewpoint, visitors can immerse themselves in a sea of mist that blankets the landscape every 20 minutes, slowly dissipating to reveal panoramic views of lush mountains, forests, and winding rivers below. This enchanting cycle repeats as the mist drifts back in, creating a dynamic spectacle of nature’s beauty. Here, you can breathe in fresh, oxygen-rich air, abundant in beneficial negative ions.
Note: Negative ions, present in pure oxygen, support creative brain function and slow the effects of free radicals, which contribute to aging. This natural benefit adds a rejuvenating aspect to the Doi Samer Dao experience, making it a haven not only for the eyes but also for the mind and body.
Whisper of Love Picture.
Wat Phumin is the true starting point for any journey into Nan. Artists and visitors from around the world flock here, drawn by its unique allure. But what makes Wat Phumin so captivating? Beyond the stunning principal Buddha image seated in an exquisitely crafted Lanna-style viharn, it is the mural paintings that leave a lasting impression. Each brushstroke, the blend of colors, the delicate pressure variations, and the natural aging of these murals evoke a striking resemblance to the expressive style of Picasso, the legendary artist himself. This artistic wonder is best appreciated in person—let’s see it with our own eyes.
Kong Temple-Surprisingly.
The verse, “A temple prospers when the community cares; a village thrives when the temple refines its values; together, temple and village bring joy and blessing,” captures the essence of Wat Kong—a place where the bond between the temple and the community is celebrated. At Wat Kong, the beauty of Lanna-inspired architecture stands harmoniously alongside the local villagers’ lush green rice fields, which double as a marketplace for souvenirs and crafts.
Connecting the temple, shops, and each village home is a picturesque bamboo bridge that stretches across the fields, weaving together the community’s life and spirit. This seamless blend of sacred and daily life, of temple and village, creates a breathtaking sight and fills visitors with a profound sense of peace and happiness. Here, “temple and village” unite to offer an experience of joy and shared culture, leaving a lasting impression on all who come to visit.
Kiew Muang Viewpoint
At the King Muang viewpoint along the sky-high road, you're treated to panoramic views of endless green mountains stretching all the way to the horizon. Every direction you turn offers stunning, postcard-worthy scenes, with a constant, refreshing breeze carrying pure, negative-ion-rich oxygen that revitalizes the spirit.
And just when you think it couldn’t get better, JC Tour’s staff presents you with a coffee menu, letting you order your favorite brew (free of charge) to savor while taking in the breathtaking landscape. Sipping on a warm cup of coffee amidst such beauty makes for an unforgettable experience, allowing you to immerse fully in nature's tranquility and splendor.
Pha Um Chu
Pha Um Chu, also known as Pha Chu (or “Pha Choo” by some), is a breathtaking viewpoint not far from Doi Samer Dao in Nan Province. After visiting Doi Samer Dao, this trip wouldn’t be complete without stopping at Pha Chu—a spot renowned for its striking panoramic views. At “Doi Pha Cherd Chu,” as it’s affectionately called, you’ll find yet another magnificent vantage point, offering sweeping vistas of the surrounding mountains and valleys. This scenic overlook captures the essence of Nan’s natural beauty, and it’s a must-visit for those looking to fully appreciate the region’s awe-inspiring landscapes.
The Frangipani Archway
The Frangipani Archway is a stunning natural formation where trunks, branches, leaves, and blossoms intertwine in perfect harmony, as if crafted by a master artisan. This archway resembles a painter’s masterpiece—yet it isn’t a work of art, but rather a flawless creation of nature itself. It’s been compared to the Stradivarius violin, a marvel so exquisite and unique that it’s impossible to replicate. Just as each Stradivarius is cherished for its unmatched craftsmanship, the Frangipani Archway captivates with its organic elegance, offering a beauty that can only be experienced, not recreated.
Sao Din Na Noi and Kok Suea
“Without any set form or guiding passion, without a predetermined purpose, these formations arise purely from nature, shifting and evolving each day.” Such is the essence of Sao Din Na Noi and Kok Suea, natural attractions born from the earth’s own artistry. These unique earthen pillars and formations, created by tectonic shifts and erosion, change subtly over time—so much so that if you visit one month and return the next, you may find their shapes have transformed.
Visitors come to Sao Din Na Noi and Kok Suea to witness this natural artwork, where the earth itself creates something new every day. The dynamic beauty of these landforms offers a fresh perspective on each visit, embodying the idea that nature is an ever-changing masterpiece.
Phra That Khao Noi Temple on Top
Atop a high mountain with a breathtaking 180-degree view of Nan, stands a radiant golden Buddha statue, gazing out over the city as though blessing its people with happiness and peace. Nearby is the revered Phra That Khao Noi, a stupa that blends Lanna and Mon architectural styles, adding a unique cultural charm to the landscape. Adding to the scene’s beauty is the Sala Lanka tree, whose delicate flowers fall gently, creating a natural carpet beneath, reminiscent of the day the Buddha attained parinirvana. This serene setting offers visitors not only a spectacular view but a profound sense of peace and reverence amidst the beauty of Nan.
Hong Na Thai Lue
From Wat Phuket in Nan, a stunning view unfolds below—a quaint village dotted with small pathways, where bamboo bridges link to traditional Hong Na Thai Lue huts, the charming shops of the local community. These paths lead to the renowned Lamduan Handwoven Textile Workshop, where visitors can explore handmade Thai Lue fabrics and watch simple weaving demonstrations that reveal the skill and tradition of this ancient craft. Though it may be a public site, JC Tour believes it’s a must-see destination, offering a true glimpse into the cultural heritage and local artistry that make Nan so uniquely enchanting.
