The Lan Na way of life differs greatly from the rest of Thailand on account of its unique cultural heritage.
Moreover, forests abound in the areas where the four main rivers - the Ping, the Wang, the Yom, and the Nan - also have their sources.
Ultimately, these four rivers converge to become the mighty Chao Phraya River,the largest artery of Thailand.
Calling themselves " Khon Muang ", these ancient people of Lan Na have their own characteristics of language, costumes, and cuisine that altogether make up the Lan Na culture.
