Wang Chin District Celebrates Annual Cultural Fair in Phrae
Former Education Minister Worawat Uapinyakul inaugurated the three-day 'Wang Chin District Best Products Fair 2026' to promote local heritage and community unity.
On September 3, 2026, the 'Wang Chin District Best Products Fair 2026' officially commenced in Phrae province. The event was opened by former Minister of Education and former Phrae MP Worawat Uapinyakul, who presided over the initial Buddhist chanting and consecration ceremonies. The festival is scheduled to run for three days, concluding on September 5, 2026, with financial support provided by the Phrae Provincial Administrative Organization.
The fair highlights local traditions and community spirit through various activities, including a large-scale merit-making alms-giving ceremony, fish releases, and the presentation of 'Good Person of Wang Chin' awards to recognize individuals who have contributed to the community. A notable highlight of the opening day was a synchronized performance by 269 local women, whose traditional dance served to showcase the cultural identity and unity of the district.
For residents and visitors, the event offers a rare opportunity to witness authentic local customs and support regional craftsmanship. While the fair is currently underway, specific details regarding the full schedule of remaining performances or potential changes to the closing ceremony program have not been publicly confirmed.
