Thoed Thai - Mae Fah Luang New Year Festivals
The Thoed Thai - Mae Fal Luang area is arguably the most remote corner of North Thailand.
It is rich in cultural diversity with multiple ethnic groups and a past history of opium fields and complicated underground drug dealing from across the border in Myanmar.
The ethnic groups living in the Thoed Thai - Mae Fa Luang area are Shan, Akha, Lahu, Lisu, Hmong, Karen and Mien, and combined with their religious diversity of animism, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucius, and Islam, provide wonderful opportunities for some great festivals and events in the area.
