Mae Fah Luang Art & Cultural Park
Established in 1977 by HRH the Princess Mother, Mae Fah Luang Art & Cultural Park originally opened as a camp to provide young leaders of hill tribes with the necessary skills to run development projects sponsored by the royal family.
Today it houses an impressive collection of Lanna artifacts, on display to protect them from being purchased by antique collectors for private ownership and leaving the region. Highlights include the teakwood exhibition and the Haw Kham golden pavilion which houses the 19th century Wiang Ta murals – tempura painted panels that depict the stories of Buddha and the Lanna way of life.
