Click here to change to Thai languageMeaning land of a million rice fields, Lanna was the name of an ancient, north western Siamese kingdom famed for its natural beauty, flora, and fauna.

From Sipsongpanna, China in the north, to Tak, Thailand in the south; the Mekong river, east to the Salween river, west. Lanna originated in the mid 13th century lasting until the late 19th century, when it was divided between Burma, Laos and Thailand.

Geographically isolated from the rest of the world, it developed its own rich and unique culture, particularly known for its architecture, crafts and food. The Great King of Lanna, Phaya Meng Rai built Lanna?s capital, Chiang Mai ? one of the original seats of Thai culture. Also home to The Bhubing Palace, royal winter residence and guesthouse for foreign State visitors.
