 Lanna Thai, the Kingdom of Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand
Notwithstanding its ambitious size and the grand scale of its architecture, Mandarin Oriental Dhara Dhevi was born out of a very simple wish: to preserve the beauty of northern Thailand’s Lanna culture and to create an atmosphere that would renew and nourish the traditions, craftsmanship and intangible charms of its people.
The culture of Lanna people is distinguished by its own dialect and writing system called ‘Gam Muang’, its own cuisine, with the staple food being sticky rice and a style of dressing which is distinct from other regions as well.
The Lanna Kingdom stretched across modern day borders and absorbed influences from Burma and the Shan State, Laos, southern China’s Sipsongpanna area and Central Thailand/Siam.
