Visit Tai Dam Village (Chiang Khan)

The small village kilometers south of Chiang Khan, is often nicknamed Ban Tai Dam because it is inhabited by the Tai Dam who migrated here from Vietnam in the early twentieth century and try to preserve their traditions thanks to the small museum in the village. There you will discover their artcrafts, old houses and utensils, their traditional clothes and if you go there the weekend or in the middle of the afternoon, when the school is finished, you will be able to live moments of sharing with the children who will show you their traditional games and how skillful they are on stilts. You can also discover the folk dances of Tai Dam and try yourself. The steps are pretty easy. It is also possible to sleep in one of the homestays of the village. I have not tested but I have an excellent memory of my 2 hours in the museum.
