Our first full day in this rich province up in northern Thailand, Naan. This is my first time visiting Naan and I was quite excited about it. *It's full of nature, culture,
beautiful architecture and of course, good food and pretty cafe and restaurants everywhere! Today we experienced almost all the varieties Naan has to offer.
From temples, food, cafe and nature. What a great day out with not just me and my boyfriend but we got more members in this very post as well, all my fam! Dad, step-
mom, sister and her boyfriend as well. (soon become fam member I guess :P)
We visited a few temples and they were quite different than temples I'm used to as it's Northern Style. * The whole buildings were painted in one plain color like, gold,
and white. Love how clean they look! They're also carved differently in the cement itself so that's quite impressive as well. Love the architecture indeed!
Visiting temples, of course, we're supposed to wear something polite and so we did. This time we did it a little differently by wearing northern style clothes just to enjoy
the Northern vibes even more! The pink long skirt (more like wrap skirt) is more like old school clothing too so that was fun!
Talking about northern Thai food, no way we don't get to this dish, Khao Soi, an egg noodle dish with a flavorful coconut curry with spices topped with other topping like
crispy egg noodles and pickles. So many flavors in one bowl! This one, we went to the premade food shop called 'Wanda'. Instead of ordering curry and rice what
they're known for, I went with their Khaosoi because I was addicted to the dish. Well, it was not bad. It was different. I would still prefer the other place I shared with you
the other day, [Khao Soi Jae Lekj@waybeyondpadthai/that-famous-khao-soi-shop-do-visit) over this one.
My sister and her boyfriend were all about pretty cafes and restaurants (to take pretty photos and all that like the cool kids nowadays do) so they were the one finding a
spot for us to visit for the day. Baan Na Kang Tong Cafe & Resort was it. Like, half an hour drive out of the Naan city. The place is super duper spacious with their own rice
field, the whole resort area and a few different spots for their cafe and restaurant.
This is more like a new concept of cafes in Thailand these days where they built something minimal in a nature area or a rice field just like this one. Love how green and
how open it is. The drinks were alright and nothing so special but I would just visit here for the environment for sure.
Love Naan! There are still more stuff I could share about this province. The only thing I wish was that we could stay a little longer. Oh well! There's always the next time!
