Doing the rounds the last week Ive picked up on a few festivals that might interest some people 8-9 November Tai Lue Kathin Ceremony in Phayao 17-18 November Tai Lue Kathin Ceremony in Nan 23-24 November Tai Lue Ceremony in Chiang Khong 23-24 November the Sunflower & Hill tribe festival in Hua Mae Kham. 6-10 December 10 Hill Tribes festival in Mae Sai. The Tai Lue Kathin ceremonies were pretty amazing IMHO & the one I followed from Chiang Khong to Mae Sai last week was sensational for photographs. (Pix still coming = too busy.) {}
Thanks David! So much to see and never enough time. I'm envious of your retired folk! The Sunflower & Hill tribe festival in Hua Mae Kham sounds quite special- I think I'll try and make that one. Will you be there? See you on Saturday in MHS! :happy5:
A message from the TAT in Chiang Rai: "The Sunflower at Hua Mae Khan will be provide on 23-24 Nov.2012, the opening ceremony is on 23 Nov. at 2 pm. and after that you can see the 9 hilltribes performance showing until 10 pm. and on 24 Nov.12 you can make merit with the monk on horse riding."
HMONG NEW YEAR 2012-2013 There's a big one planned for Tung Na Noi, just out of Chiang Khong . The date: 14-15 December 2012. Tung Na Noi is on the GTR Golden Triangle Loop map.
Emergency phone call just in advises that the Kachin Manau festival is now 4-5 December. Starting 7-8AM on the 4th? Good luck & maybe see some guys there.
