Lisu New Year Festival at Ban Sam Li Village Near Chiang Mai
Experience the Lisu New Year Festival at Ban Sam Li village, about 2 hours north of Chiang Mai. Held February 14-16, 2025, this authentic celebration features the Lisu people in their most vibrant traditional costumes – unlike other hill tribes, Lisu dress up exclusively for New Year. The village is reached via Route 1001 north to Phrao town, then 20 minutes up mountain roads toward Chiang Rai. A rare glimpse into living hill tribe culture.
