back over 900 years, Phayao is a pretty town located on
the edge of Phayao Lake, but well off the normal tourism
track. Phayao Lake is the largest freshwater lake in northern
Thailand and is surrounded by beautiful hilly scenery.
It is a great breeding centre for fish, supplying many
excellent restaurants that line its shores. The Fishery
Station is the first facility to successfully breed giant
catfish. |

Sikhom Kham, on the shore of the lake, houses a revered
400-year-old Buddha image. But it is the startling statues
of dinosaurs, devils and other images of hell - inspired
by both Hollywood films and Buddhist legend - that attract
many visitors. |
