Dhevaraj Hotel Nan

If you are near Pua on a hot day, you ought to stop by Sila Phet Waterfall. The waterfall is great for swimming because there is various pools that you can swim in. There are areas that are shallow enough for little kids, but there are deep area as well. There are great little cliffs to jump off into the water if you are the dare-devil type.

... museum was closed on a Monday, the day we planned to go however we went along anyway and it was open.

... driver, and made it there in just under three hours -- that despite stopping repeatedly at the checkpoints, where our driver had to check us in w/the Myanmar authorities. When we got to town, we also had to check in w/immigration. Kengtung is a pretty city in the mountains, w/three lakes in its boundaries. It was very pretty, and quite different from Thailand: no internet (in the entire country, I believe), electricity only after 6:00 PM, and good meals ...
