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.
So come not only to watch the lights, but to meet the hands that make them, taste the food that carries generations of memory, walk through the landscape, and share an evening with the people of Mae Taeng.
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.
Three experiences. One ceremony.
A memory that stays with you forever

A Journey More Meaningful
A journey becomes meaningful when we move beyond being visitors and become part of a place, even for a little while.
At Phor Khom Mae Taeng, every experience is designed as a gentle invitation to connect — with craft, with food, with nature, with local people, and with traditions that continue to live today.
You may make something with your own hands, sit down to a meal prepared with local ingredients, listen to stories from the community, or simply pause beneath the evening sky.
There is no need to rush.
This is Mae Taeng at its own pace — intimate, thoughtful, and deeply rooted in place.
Craft With Care
In Mae Taeng, craft is more than an object. It is knowledge passed from one generation to another, shaped by hands, materials, patience, and place.
Meet local makers and discover the quiet beauty behind Lanna craftsmanship. From natural materials to traditional techniques, each piece carries the character of the landscape and the story of the person who made it.
Here, you are not simply buying a souvenir.
You are meeting the maker, learning the story, and experiencing the value of something made slowly and with care.
Cook With Love
Food is one of the most intimate ways to understand a place.
At Mae Taeng, Northern Thai cuisine is rooted in the land, the seasons, and the wisdom of generations. Local ingredients become dishes that are both familiar and deeply connected to the community.
Sit at the table. Taste the herbs, spices and flavours of the North. Share food the way families and communities have always done — generously, slowly, and together.
Because a meal is never only about what is on the plate.
It is about the people who grow it, prepare it, serve it, and share it with you.
Rooted in Community
Mae Taeng is not a destination created for visitors. It is a living community with its own rhythm, traditions, relationships, and stories.
Phor Khom is created with the community, not simply for the community.
Through local makers, cooks, farmers, performers, guides and hosts, the experience creates a space where visitors can connect with the people behind the place — and where local knowledge can be valued, shared, and carried forward.
We believe tourism can give something back to the places we visit.
When you come to Mae Taeng, you are not only experiencing the destination.
You are becoming part of its story.
Shared With Heart
At the heart of Phor Khom is something simple: sharing.
These are the moments that cannot be bought as a product or captured completely in a photograph.
They are felt.
And perhaps this is what makes a journey memorable — not what we collected along the way, but what we shared with one another.
Why Mae Taeng?
A place where nature, culture and community live together.
Nestled among the mountains and valleys of Chiang Mai, Mae Taeng is a place where the landscape and the way of life remain closely connected.
Rice fields, forests, rivers and villages form a living landscape shaped by generations of local knowledge. Here, Lanna traditions are not simply preserved as heritage. They continue through everyday life — in food, craft, ceremonies, stories, and the relationships between people and their land.
Mae Taeng invites you to experience Chiang Mai beyond the familiar.
To travel more slowly.
To meet the people behind the place.
To discover the beauty of things made by hand and food prepared with care.
And to find a quieter connection with Northern Thailand.
