Four provinces in the upper North have joined hands to hold the 10-day.
The provinces participating are Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son, Lamphun and Lampang.
Chiang Mai governor Charoenrit Sanguansat said this expo has been organised for the eighth consecutive year, building on the success of every year to promote the potential of small businesses and expand their market base.
This year’s event is divided into four zones, namely furniture and decorative products, health and beauty zone, fashion and textile zone and food and beverage zone.
There is also a Lanna handicraft zone, where visitors can enjoy the distinctive identity of northern culture.
