Short answer: For a first visit stay in Nan town (near Wat Phumin and the walking street — easy to explore and eat on foot). For a chilled feel choose the Nan riverside; for terraced fields and mountains pick Pua district (north, near Doi Phu Kha) or, deeper in, Bo Kluea/Sapan with its scenic mountains — the northern zones need a car.
