Thailand: Umbrellas drying in the sun, Bo Sang Umbrella Village, near Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. Bo Sang, near the northern city of Chiang Mai, is famous for its hand-made brightly coloured umbrellas and parasols. Once a year, in late January, the Bo Sang Umbrella and San Kamphaeng Handicrafts Festival is held in the town. Chiang Mai (meaning 'new city'), sometimes written as 'Chiengmai' or 'Chiangmai', is the largest and most culturally significant city in northern Thailand. King Mengrai founded the city of Chiang Mai in 1296, and it succeeded Chiang Rai as capital of the Lanna kingdom.
