The Lanna Expo Caravan featured hotels, tour programs, community products,

to promote Thailand tourism, both domestic and international, and learn the
beauty and tradition of Thailand’s four northern provinces.
Thirty booths demonstrated sales and contracts of products, tour promotions,
presentations and more. There was also a traditional Lanna dance show that
attracted the crowd.
Agricultural products and health
services were among the many northern products and services on display.
