Major Event

     Nan Provincial Boat Racing

After Buddhist Lent, which falls at the end of October or the beginning of November, every year, a boat racing festival takes place in the Nan River in front of the provincial community.  This is regarded as a big fair where several long boats, carved out of one single tree trunk, participate in the racing.  It it is promoted, by the Province, as an annual fair of Nan. 

     Golden Orange and Red Cross Fair

The fair is held annually around mid-December at the Provincial Stadium.  Golden orange, with golden peel and sweet taste, is a famous crop of Nan Province.  The orange’s gold colour results from the province’s cold weather and less sunny seasons.  Main features in the fair include Miss Nsn Beauty Contest, Miss Golden Orange Contest, Miss Hill Tribe Contest, booth displays by the government and private sectors, and various entertainments.
