After Lampang I took a bus to Nan and a few days later backtracked to Phrae. Both
towns are similar in their almost total absence of foreigners.
The Thai I'd been learning was put the test in these towns. I'd often stare at a menu
on the wall for ten minutes before ordering, slowly translating the Thai script.
Here's an excerpt from an email I sent home later:

A peaceful back street in Nan
After Nan I moved onto Phrae for a few days where I must admit that I
spent disgusting amounts of time sitting in the local internet cafe
playing Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge until the manager came and waved
his hand in front of my face to check if I was in coma. Damn that
game's fun.
While I was in Phrae I bought some of the cotton farmers clothing called Maw Hawm.
