About

Held each January in the umbrella-making village of Bo Sang east of Chiang Mai, this colourful Lanna craft festival lines the streets with hundreds of hand-painted paper umbrellas, plus a Miss Bo Sang pageant, craft demonstrations and a parade of performers in traditional dress.

Highlights

  • Streets lined with hundreds of hand-painted paper umbrellas
  • Umbrella parade with performers in traditional Lanna dress
  • Live craft demonstrations and the Miss Bo Sang pageant

Plan it well

  1. Bo Sang is about 9 km east of Chiang Mai old city — easy by taxi or songthaew.
  2. Evenings are most atmospheric when the umbrellas are lit.
  3. Confirm the exact January weekend with TAT before locking in travel.
