The village of the White Thai people in Muong Lay town, Dien Bien province, lies peacefully beside the Son La hydroelectric reservoir. This area is likened to a living museum, preserving the traditional values of the Thai people in the middle of the Northwest.
Muong Lay is located in a narrow, long valley, a river junction - the convergence and confluence of the Da River, Nam Na River and Nam Lay stream.
One of the special heritages passed down by the White Thai people in Muong Lay town to this day is the Kin Pang Then Festival (usually held in early Spring, after the Lunar New Year; from before the full moon of January to before the full moon of March every year). This is an occasion for people to give thanks to Then. Kin Pang Then holds an important position in the spiritual life, a unique cultural feature of the White Thai people.
