In love in Lanna
To convince the Taiwanese that Chiang Mai is the best destination for the honeymooners, the Tourism Authority of Thailand’s Taiwan office will organise a collective wedding for 25 Taiwanese couples tomorrow. Set in classic Lanna ambience, with a traditional and graceful procession, folk dances and a khantok signature dinner set, the wedding ceremony will take place at Chiang Mai’s Monfai Museum.
