Lanna means “Land of million rice friend”. The Lanna Kingdom was founded in the 13th century by King Meng Rai (1239-1317). After his ascendancy to the throne in 1259, he rapidly expanded control over territories. The prosperous self-ruling kingdom included Northern Thailand (founded Chiang Rai in 1262, conquered Lumphun in 1281 and founded Chiang Mai in 1297) and parts of Southern China (Chiang Rung and Sipsong Panna in Yunnan). Northeast Burma (Keng Tung in Shan State) and Laos (Luang Prabang)
The wealthy history and culture of Lanna became an important cradle of civilization. Despite many national developments and modernized aspects of life, Lanna’s unique dialect, culture, music, beliefs, cuisine and stylings are still retained throughout the region.
Today most of Lanna became the 8 northern provinces of Thailand:Chiang
