Image description

Once a year, Wat Pa Pao plays host to the luk kaeo, or "crystal sons" - young Shan boys about to be ordained into the Buddhist monkhood. Many of these novices travel to Chiang Mai from surrounding Shan communities at Mae Cham, Mae Rim, Chiang Dao and Fang. This annual Shan ceremony is called Poy Sang Long. During the day of the ceremony the 'Crystal Sons' and their relatives process from Wat Pa Pao to Wat Phra Singh, one of Chiang Mai's most important temples.
