Lanna Culture refers to the traditions and practices of the Lanna Kingdom, which existed in northern Thailand from the 13th to the 18th centuries. This culture is characterized by its unique language, art, and architecture, including the distinctive Lanna-style temples known for their intricate wood carvings and tiered roofs. The region is also famous for its traditional festivals, such as Yi Peng, where lanterns are released into the sky.
The Lanna people have a rich culinary heritage, featuring dishes like Khao Soi, a coconut curry noodle soup. Traditional music and dance play a significant role in Lanna culture, with instruments like the saw duang and performances that reflect the community's history and beliefs. The culture emphasizes harmony with nature and strong community ties.
