Muang Luang Nuea Tai Lue Community

Chiang Mai

The Tai Lue people of Mueang Luang Nuea live in a village next to a vast river basin in the eastern part of Chiang Mai. The village is named after their original settlement on the banks of the Luang River in Xishuangbanna, with the surrounding land rich and abundant in terms of natural resources. Here, you can get to know all about the Tai Lue way of life, with the opportunity to make charcoal compress balls to be used to create unique patterns on bags. Taste “So ba kuay ted” (or papaya salad with ginger), which cannot be found anywhere else in Thailand. Show off your creative side with an activity that involves painting the mythical “Phaya Luang” figures. It’s worth noting that each visit to this region won’t be the same – as the seasonal activities depend on the time of year. Most of the locals are farmers who live a simple and tranquil life, and, like most people in the north, follow the concept of “Yoo Dee Kin Wan”. You’ll find that the charm of this community lies in its harmony, as well as the warm, and family-like interactions between you and the locals.
