At the weekly talad nut at Ban Chambong downstream from Chiang Khong I noticed numerous Hmong stalls selling new year costumes, so enquired about Hmong New Year.

The reply was that around Wiang Kaen Hmong New Year 2019 will be 6/7 January 2019.

This roughly aligns with the new moon, so it may actually be possible some other Hmong villages maybe celebrating around new moon in December too - Laos? Keep an eye out for it.

Huai Leng a mountain top Royal Project village also has one going on this week: Google Maps
The road to Huai Leng is super steep and has amazing views for the adventurous.
