FeunBaan Yaan Wiang

FeunBaan Yaan Wiang is a local umbrella organization dedicated to preserving Chiang Mai and Lanna culture and heritage. It brings together smaller groups and parties interested in Chiang Mai conservation, including the Chiang Mai City Arts and Cultural Center, the Green Beauty Scented Network, the Jai Baan Studio and the Rak Lanna group. Together they campaign to restore and protect the old central quarters of Chiang Mai, highlighting the importance and value of the city's heritage.

The organization promotes education and understanding among both locals and visitors about the value of Chiang Mai's past in terms of its history, environment, society, economy, governance and architecture, aiming to protect the identity of Chiang Mai from the adverse impact of rapid development. It organizes and hosts regular seminars and cultural events.

It has also opened a free library in the city center, run entirely by volunteers, as a meeting space for the community and as a way to promote education and knowledge about local history.
