Salak Yom — A Spectacular Festival in Lamphun

Join Som and me as we experience the 2026 Salak Yom Festival at Wat Phra That Hariphunchai in Lamphun — one of Northern Thailand's most fascinating and colourful traditions. As evening falls, the temple comes alive with beautifully decorated Salak Yom offerings, lanterns, music and people coming together to make merit. The towering, colourful structures are especially impressive against the night sky. In this video, we take you inside the festival, explore the atmosphere around one of Lamphun’s most important temples, and share our experience of this very special Northern Thai tradition. Come along with us and discover Salak Yom in Lamphun. 🇹🇭 Google map link: https://maps.app.goo.gl/4fMouRbarNkbJ... #SalakYom #Lamphun #WatPhraThatHariphunchai #Thailand #NorthernThailand #ThaiFestivals #Robert'sThailandJourneys 00:00 - Intro 01:26 - Viewing the Salak Yom 05:49 - Childrens dancing 10:50 - Thai traditional dance 15:42 - Light show 21:00 - More Thai dancing 29:18 - Outro
