identity. The distinction of Lannas charming beauty is reflected
in the lilting dialect, classic architecture, valued customs
and traditions, expressive festivals, exotic handicrafts, and,
of course, unique cuisine. It should be noted that the northern
people traditionally sit on the floor eating food placed on
a low table.

Nam Phrik Ong (chili paste with minced pork
and tomatoes) and Nam Phrik Num (green chili paste).
