Nan

Sports & the Outdoors

Nan is the ideal center from which to embark on treks through the nearby mountains, as well as raft and kayak trips along the rivers that cut through them. Khun Chompupach Sirsappuris has run Nan's leading tourist agency, Fhu Travel and Information (453/4 Sumondhevaraj Rd. 054/710636 or 081/287-7209. www.fhutravel.com), for 20 years and knows the region like her own backyard. She speaks fluent English, and has an impressive Web site describing tours and prices.
