Watch and learn fon leb, Thailand’s famous fingernail dance

Join me, a Lanna dancer and teacher, at the Old Chiangmai Cultural Center, where fon leb, the Fingernail Dance, tells stories through each poised fingertip and fluid movement, and an art form of quiet power unfolds. You’ll learn the delicate hand gestures and dance in a group performance. • Begin by wrapping yourself in jong kraben, the traditional Northern Thai pants, designed for comfort and grace in movement, and warm up with light stretching. • Learn the delicate gestures in fon leb, where every flick of the wrist and tilt of the head carries meaning, and their rhythm in harmony with traditional Thai music. •The Antique House, rich with Lanna heritage, becomes your stage for a final group performance, blending history and movement in a breathtaking moment. You’ll be invited to wear traditional clothing, taking home beautifully framed memories of your transformation into a Lanna dancer.

1 day trip of 9 temples in Chiang Mai

Chiang Mai is situated in Northern Thailand, 700km north of the capital city of Bangkok. Chiang Mai is the second largest city in Thailand, yet only has a population of around 200,000. Compare this to Bangkok which has about 9 million and it is easy to see why even the Thai people in Bangkok love to visit Chiang Mai for a holiday. Chiang Mai was built in 1296 as a walled city surrounded by a moat. The old city was roughly 1.5km square. Whilst a good portion of the original city wall has collapsed the four corner bastions are still intact along with various other sections. The original moat is still in use to this day. Chiang Mai city is basically made up now of the old city (within the walled area) and the new city which has grown up around it. If you like ancient temples (Wats) and buildings, then visit Chiang Mai and the surrounding areas, they are full of them, several hundred in fact. I would like to share a wonderful experience to enjoy a Historical of 9 Temples in 1 day private trip. You can learn a brief history and culture of Chiang Mai and Buddhism in the same time. I will pick up you at your hotel at 09.00 AM. and back to hotel at 16.00 PM : * we also have guide licence to support our trip. Other things to note Participants should respect the place.
