Time: In the early spring (after the Lunar New Year) - Location: Muong Lay Town, Dien Bien Province

"Kin Pang Then" Festival, a unique cultural activity that has existed for a long time, contains great spiritual values of White Thai people in Muong Lay Town. White Thai people think that beyond the real world of mankind, there is the world of the God, and the heaven is also a Muong (village) where the generals of God are called Then. With his compassion for the people in Muongs on earth, every year the Heaven God sends Thens to help. Kin Pang Then Festival usually takes place at the beginning of Spring (after the Lunar New Year). It is the most beautiful time of spring when Ban flowers bloom white in the mountains, peach blossoms and grapefruit flowers show their aroma every Muong roads. In cool weather, all things grow, trees sprout, bloom, and bear fruit, and nature seems to blend in with people's hearts, and then the Then master holds Kin Pang Then Festival to welcome his adopted children to celebrate Then to be "as strong as a silver pillar, as stable as a gold pillar", at the same time to give thanks to Mr. Then and Mrs. Then and pray for rains, crops, happiness, and fortune to all families in Muong.
