through light, steam, and serenity,” said TAT Governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool.
“Chiang Mai’s heritage and natural beauty provide the ideal backdrop for this
immersive celebration of creativity.”

footbath oasis.

The Power of Fire: A digital campfire
experience honouring human connection.

sculpture symbolising life and creation.

trees and shadows invite reflection and wonder.
Alongside
the installations, visitors can enjoy interactive attractions:
