“Enjoy a bamboo rafting trip, learn about local fish conservation efforts, and stay in a Thai-certified homestay surrounded by pure nature.”

Ban Hat Phakhon Homestay is located in a small riverside community along the Nan River, known for its peaceful atmosphere and authentic way of life. The village is embraced by mountains and water, creating a tranquil environment perfect for rest and relaxation.

The highlight of the area is the bamboo rafting experience — visitors can leisurely float along the Nan River while tasting freshly prepared local dishes such as grilled fish and traditional curries. It’s not just a scenic ride but also an opportunity to learn about the villagers’ simple riverside lifestyle.

This rafting activity is part of the Community Fish Conservation Project, which began in 1993 after villagers discovered that over half of the 80 native fish species in the river had disappeared due to illegal electrofishing. The community came together to create protected fish zones and promote sustainable use of natural resources, reviving the abundance of the Nan River.

For those wishing to stay overnight, Ban Hat Phakhon offers homestay accommodations certified by the Thai Homestay Standard. Visitors are warmly welcomed by local hosts and can experience traditional northern Thai living — fishing, cooking local meals, and sharing stories in a friendly, family-like atmosphere.

Attractions and activities include:

  • Bamboo rafting along the Nan River and observing local fish habitats

  • Village walks to experience rural life, traditional boats, and local farms

  • Relaxation in a peaceful riverside setting, ideal for nature lovers

Ban Hat Phakhon Homestay is an ideal destination for those seeking to experience authentic Nan culture, connect with nature, and support community-based tourism.
