The province of Nan is located in the north of Thailand and borders Laos. It is one of the lesser known provinces of Thailand, but is known for its natural beauty, rich culture and ancient history. It's a great place to visit if you're looking for adventure and relaxation in nature. Road 1256 passes through the mountains of Nan and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding nature. Almost the most beautiful road in Thailand, the view on the side of the road is very beautiful, if you go during the rainy season, the atmosphere will be very good. You can see the green along the two sides of the road on the ridge. In some parts you can see the beautiful view of rice fields over the hills. It may be overgrown on some parts of the road. There are several interesting sights and activities to enjoy along the way. It's great for bird watching, camping, and hiking, and you're unlikely to meet many other people while exploring. You can also visit the Doi Phu Kha National Park, which is known for its beautiful waterfalls, lush forests and spectacular views. Wonderfully cool weather all year round. In addition, there are also several hill tribe villages along the way, where you have the chance to experience the local culture and traditions.

The local people call this tree ต้นผึ้งยักษ์, Giant Bee Tree or Giant Tree. There are several bee nests in the tree. With a height of up to 40 meters and several hundred years old, this tree belongs to the Moraceae family. The Ficus albipila is a rainforest tree, a type of fig tree native to Thailand and Southeast Asia. Ficus albipila is commonly known as the "Elephant Ear Fig" or "White Fruited Fig." This species is characterized by its large, heart-shaped leaves, which resemble elephant ears, and its white fruits. The leaves have striking veins and the fruits turn from green to white when ripe. Ficus albipila is a strangler fig, meaning it often begins life on other trees and eventually encircles and strangles its host tree as it develops. Ficus albipila is well adapted to tropical climates. It plays an important ecological role as a food source for various animals, including birds and mammals, that feed on its fruits. The tree's dense foliage also provides habitat and shelter for wildlife. The Gaint Bee tree is located on the Wa River in Wiang Sa District, Nan Province.

De lokale mensen noemen deze boom ต้นผึ้งยักษ์, oftewel Giant Bee Tree of Giant Tree. Er zijn verschillende bijen nesten in de boom te vinden. Met een hoogte van wel 40 meter en enkele honderden jaren oud behoort deze boom tot de familie Moraceae. De Ficus albipila, is een regenwoudboom, een soort vijgenboom afkomstig uit Thailand en Zuidoost Azië. Ficus albipila is algemeen bekend als de Elephant Ear Fig of White Fruited Fig. Deze soort wordt gekenmerkt door zijn grote, hartvormige bladeren, die lijken op olifantenoren, en zijn witte vruchten. De bladeren hebben opvallende nerven en de vruchten verkleuren van groen naar wit als ze rijp zijn. Ficus albipila is een wurgvijg, wat betekent dat hij zijn leven vaak begint op andere bomen en uiteindelijk zijn waardboom omsingelt en wurgt terwijl hij zich ontwikkelt. Ficus albipila is goed aangepast aan tropische klimaten. Het speelt een belangrijke ecologische rol als voedselbron voor verschillende dieren, waaronder vogels en zoogdieren, die zich voeden met zijn vruchten. Het dichte gebladerte van de boom biedt ook leefgebied en beschutting voor dieren in het wild. De Gaint Bee tree ligt aan de Wa rivier in Wiang Sa District, Nan Province.
