Lampang Festivals
The Luang Wiang Lakhon Fair is held just prior to the annual Loi Krathong event around
Wat Phra Kaeo Don Tao and Wat Phra That Lampang Luang, featuring
Lampang's own historical backgrounds and long established customs
and traditions. A Khrua Than procession is organized with local
people dressed in native attires carrying various traditional
household appliances, some of which are of ancient vintage.
The Khantok Chang Fair is organised on the first Friday-Saturday period of February
each year at the Thai Elephant conversation centre. There is an
elephant show and the pachyderms are feasted with their popular
fruits and vegetables which are placed on the Tok, a traditional
food tray of the Lanna people.
