Description: |

By the end of the 14th century Nan was one of the nine northern
Thai-Lao principalities that comprised Lan Na Thai (now Lanna)
and the city state flourished throughout the 15th century under
the name Chiang Klang (Middle City), a reference to its position
roughly midway between Chiang Mai (New City) and Chiang Thong
(Golden City, which is today's Luang Prabang. The Burmese
took control of the kingdom in 1558 and deported many of the
inhabitants to Burma as slaves; the city was completely deserted
until western Thailand was retaken from the Burmese in 1786. The
local dynasty then regained local sovereignty and it remained
semi-autonomous until 1931 when Nan finally accepted full
Bangkok dominion. Parts of the old city wall and several
early wats dating from the Lanna period can be seen in
contemporary Nan. The city of Nan's wats are distinctive: some
temple structures show Lanna influence, while others belong to
the Tai Lü language, a legacy brought from Xishuangbanna in
China, where the Tai Lü people came from. |
