Chiang Mai, Thailand Stats Joanna Fuller’s trip LA to Hong Kong to Bangkok to Chiang Mai

Historical Capital of Thailand Scenic mountain beauty, adventure activities, ethnic hill tribes, historic temples, and distinctive culture characterize Chiang Mai. Located 700 miles north of Bangkok, the province was once part of the independent Lanna Thai Kingdom, (literally translated as "the Kingdom of a Million Rice fields") which ruled northern Thailand from the 13th - 16th century. Chiang Mai city, the former capital founded in 1296, flourished as a major religious, cultural and trading centre until the Burmese invaded in The legacy left by Lanna can still be seen in the temples, sculptures and city walls, which remain today.

Lahu Tribal People Musur comes from a Burmese word for hunter. 5 varieties: Laho Nyi (Red), Laho Shehleh (Black), Lahu Na (also Black), Lahu Shi (Yellow, aka Musur Kwi) and Lahu Hpu (White). Yi/Lolo branch of the Tibetan-Burmese linguistic group, closely related to Lisu, each sub-group has its own distinct dialect. The soft and tonal Lahu Na is used as a lingua franca among them, and by some other hill-tribe groups also. Many are Christian (but with an earth-mother goddess, Ai-ma); they believe in a supreme being but are animist too
