The Story
Not Just a Festival.
Phor Khom Mae Taeng is more than a festival. It is an invitation to
slow down, to look closer, and to experience Mae Taeng through the
people who call it home.
Here, a lantern is not simply something we release into the sky. It
carries an intention, a story, and a moment of reflection. Around it
unfolds a living landscape of Lanna culture — local craft, northern
food, traditional knowledge, nature, and the warmth of community.
We believe meaningful travel is not about seeing more. It is about
feeling more.
This is a journey into the spirit of Lanna — one that begins with a
lantern, but stays with you long after the light has disappeared.
Phor Khom Mae Taeng was born from this spirit.
A celebration of light, but also of place.
A moment to honour what has been passed down, to appreciate what is still alive today, and to imagine what we can carry forward together.

Come for the lantern. Stay for the story of Mae Taeng.
