The Lanna Kingdom was a historical kingdom located in what is now northern Thailand. It was established in the 13th century and became a significant center of trade, culture, and Buddhism in the region. The kingdom's capital was Chiang Mai, which remains an important city today.
Lanna was known for its unique art, architecture, and traditions, influenced by both Thai and Burmese cultures. The kingdom maintained a degree of independence until it was gradually incorporated into the Siamese Kingdom in the 18th century. Today, the legacy of Lanna is celebrated through festivals, cuisine, and traditional crafts.
