The Shan Literature and Cultural Association in Chiang Mai, Thailand opened a history exhibition at Wat Ku Tao temple to educate people about Shan heritage.

The association, based at the temple, displayed historical photographs, traditions, and information about the saophas, the former rulers of Shan principalities. Sai Pho Aung, the association’s chairperson, explained the exhibition intends to reach a wide audience, including foreign visitors, students, and researchers.

The exhibition presents information in Shan, Thai, and English, allowing diverse groups to learn about the region’s past. A Shan migrant worker in Thailand said the exhibit would help younger generations understand their culture. The association hopes to expand the exhibition with donations and continued support.
