Suep Chata Mueang
The tradition of Suep Chata Mueang or Extension of the City’s life is an ancient Lanna custom held to boost the spirit and morale of the city and the people to ensure the wellbeing and long life of the city establishment. It is meant to make all the residents feel confident of their safety and prosperity. The tradition is said to take place in two situations in particular. That is when the city faces turmoil due to war and starvation, which is the sign of the city’s fate declining. The other occasion is when the city is peaceful.
