Chiang Mai's Llana Folklore Museum

The Llana people consist of the tribes who inhabited the north of Thailand from antiquity. The Siamese inhabited the south. The Llana Folklore Museum in Chiang Mai is one of the most beautifully laid out museums we have seen anywhere.  And unlike some of the more idiotic museums we've been to (for example, the Angkor National Museum in Siem Reap), you can take all the pictures you like.

Below is my photo gallery from the Llana. And listen here to a display of Llana musical instruments and the sounds they make.

                   To perform the Nail Dance, women wear iron nail extensions on four fingers of each hand, and dance to the music of flutes and drums.
