Ban Wen small village along the Nan River, just within Bo Klua district and about 28 km north of Bo Klua town. Ban Wen is becoming a new destination for tourists to experience rural life in Nan province. And actually not only the village itself but the all area nearby the village. From Ban Wen you can go to a few smaller villages like Ban Piengsor along the Thai-Lao border. And with along I mean about 50m - 300m from the real border. There used to be a local border crossing (and unofficially it might still be used).
