Buak Had Public Park

This guide to Buak Had Public Park centers on Jaran Manophet, a musician born beside this lawn in 1951 who fused old Lanna folk songs with the electric guitar, writing some three hundred songs about villagers leaving home for the city. You'll hear about the illness he lived with for decades while he kept touring and writing, and about the reservoir behind you that once supplied the walled city before becoming a corner of its old moat. It traces how, decades later, the city chose this spot to remember him.
