Nan
The charming Northern province of Nan will host its annual boat races again from Oct 24-26, said to be the largest of their kind. Traditionally held to mark the end of the Buddhist Lent, the event will see some 200 colorfully-painted boats made from whole tree trunks, and accommodating up to 60 oarsman, battle it out for regional supremacy. Split into two periods, the races will also be accompanied by the usual fair featuring booths selling food and drinks, souvenirs and local art from Nan province. For more information, contact TAT Phrae Office on 05-452-1127.
