The northern province of Mae Hong Son comes alive with vibrant colours and rich traditions during the Poy Sang Long Festival, creating a mesmerizing spectacle from March to April.

 

The festival, a celebration of novice ordination among the Tai Yai, descendants of the Shan people, transforms the province into a tapestry of faith and cultural richness, captivating both locals and visitors alike.

 

This year, from March to April, the temples in Mae Hong Son will again witness the grandeur of this traditional ritual and play host to a cultural phenomenon.
