Thailand: Thevada (angels) beneath a temple tree at Wat Ban Tha Kham, Mae Had Valley, near Chiang Mai, northern Thailand

The Mae Had Valley lies in the northern part of the greater Chiang Mai Valley. The small Mae Had River runs through the valley.

The people of the Mae Had Valley are overwhelmingly Khon Muang. Their whole lifestyle is a celebration of flatland, wet-rice paddy culture. Their attitudes are conservative, restrained, old-world.
