Cultural experience with delicious food @Wiang Nuea

Khaw Neung Bai Bua

Khaw Neung Bai Bua or Rice covered in Lotus leaves is a nutritious dish heavily influenced by Thai and Chinese culture. This healthy, delicious meal is relatively uncommon to get at typical restaurants these days. It has become a health-friendly menu since traditional medicine states that steaming the lotus leaf will aid in nourishing the heart. Furthermore, lotus flowers and pollen can nourish pregnancy, reduce fever, cure heat poisoning, and relieve fatigue and palpitations. Using old lotus leaves can help lower fever, nourish circulation, and lower BP and LDL cholesterol levels.

 

Secret Recipe

Khaw Neung Bai Bua is made of rice, pork, Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, and egg yolk that has been seasoned with local spices and herbs. First, stir-fry everything like fried rice. Then, cover everything in lotus leaves and simmer it.

The Buddhist Lent Day Legend

In the past, monks’ constant travel destroyed rainy-season crops. Therefore, Buddha forbade monks from leaving their temples during the rainy season. Unless a monk has an urgent business, they can depart for only seven nights.

 

What do locals Do on Buddhist Lent Day?

During Buddhist Lent, people would visit temples to earn merit, listen to sermons, and purify their thoughts. In addition, the Khao Pansa candle festival, which occurs every year at the beginning of the Buddhist Lent in late July, will be celebrated. In 2022, the Khao Pansa Candle Festival will be on July 14.

 

Enjoy the Candle Festival with a Locals

Chiang Saen’s traditional candle festival, or Khao Pansa, reflects the master craftsmen’s technique of candle carving as part of this cultural event. Carved candles depicting religious stories and detailed sculptures from the fairy tales will be presented on the candle display.

Wat Pa Sak Chiang Saen was established during Phra Phaya Saen Phu in 1930. This famous temple was erected to house artifacts with 300 teak trees planted around it. Architecture in the Dvaravati era has been a blend of art and architecture. Chinese art was a source of inspiration for several of the stucco designs.

Taste the Best Glutinous Rice in Thailand
Khao Niew Khiaw Ngoo Glutinous Rice is a local grain grown in the area historically known as Chiang Saen plains. The agriculture area covers Mae Chan, Chiang Saen, Mae Sai, Mae Fah Luang, and Doi Luang in the present day. This is where the country’s best glutinous rice is farmed. Because of sufficient water and hot springs in Pa Tung, minerals have accumulated in the watershed for millions of years.
