Cultural Activities for Kids
Travel is one of the best ways to open children’s eyes to the world and their mind to other people and their unique culture and traditions. Learning a few words of the local language will bring smiles to the faces of everyone they meet on their holiday.
Here children are encouraged to try their hands at lotus folding or Thai dance and music and can then take these new skills home with them to share with their friends, and remind them of their trip to northern Thailand.
Lanna Kids Property Tour
Start this special tour aboard one of the resort’s brightly painted trishaws or with a view from above in one of the old style Lampang horse carts.
Kids can explore the resort’s grounds by horse-cart or trishaw and make visits to various interesting places, such as the Buddhist prayer hall and the spirit shrine. The highlight of the excursion will be a visit to the paddy fields where they will meet the resort’s resident family of water buffalos.
Kids will be offered a change into farmer’s hats, pants, shirts and boots and wind their way through the rice paddies to the shady field hut where they can sit and
ride a buffalo and learn the special technique of planting rice.
Last, but not least, kids will have the chance to meet people from the villages of Ban Tasala at the resort’s Craft Village.
