To satisfy wanderlust without having to leave the capital, people will get an opportunity to experience sustainable living and the beautiful culture of the northern town of Uttaradit at "Along Uttaradit Festival", which takes place in Bangkok's CU Centenary Park from tomorrow until Sunday.
To celebrate authentic cuisine of the lower North, urban foodies are invited to a khantok dinner that includes some local specialities like mi phan lablae (Uttaradit-style spring rolls filled with thin rice noodle salad), sai krok phi chai (Uttaradit-style sausage stuffed with sticky rice and roasted peanut), and khao phan phak (Uttaradit-style crepe made from rice flour and filled with vegetables and glass noodles).
A creative art show will also be on display at the Art-taradit Creative Space, and a number of well-known travel influencers will serve as special tour guides to help visitors discover lesser-known tourist destinations in Uttaradit. Additionally, you can take part in a painting workshop to make clay plates and postcards.
A craft market with 15 stores will provide a wide selection of creative handicrafts, keepsakes and other regional fare. The festival is open from 3pm to 9pm. Admission is free.
