Laplae & Uttaradit Photo Spots
City gate · woven cloth · waterfalls · durian orchards · old temples
Visit Laplae and Uttaradit and you'll want to come home with great photos. This guide rounds up real photo and check-in spots across the province, with the prettiest angles and the best time of day to shoot each one.
Getting Beautiful Photos in Laplae & Uttaradit
The appeal of Laplae and Uttaradit is the variety of scenes within easy reach: an ancient city gate, vivid teen jok woven cloth, emerald-green limestone waterfalls, lush fruit orchards, old temples and a giant-dam view amid the hills — so you can capture many moods in a single trip.
The key to a great shot is timing. Outdoor spots like the city gate and the orchards are loveliest in the soft light of morning or evening, while Mae Phun waterfall is greenest and fullest in the late rains, and temples and the weaving work shoot well in the shade all day. Try ordering your stops to match the light at each time of day.
Many of these spots already have their own in-depth articles on the Hua Dum Resort site — the Laplae City Gate, Mon Laplae and the weaving, Mae Phun waterfall, the Long-Lin Laplae durian orchards, Wat Phra Thaen Sila At, Wat Phra Borommathat Thung Yang and Sirikit Dam. Read those for each place's directions and opening hours.
