Nang Lerng is a hundred year-old historic neighborhood situated near the traditional center of Old Bangkok. The Nang Lerng neighborhood formed a social enterprise, E-Lerng, to improve the livelihoods of its people through tourism by promoting art and cultural preservation.
 
Join us to meet members of the community and visit the heritage neighborhood they call home. Let's stroll along the road, absorbing the uniqueness and experiencing the atmosphere of a traditional community.​ Learn from the community first hand the critical issues members face as well as their journeys through time and into the future. 
 
Bonus: Get a rare chance to practice the lost Thai art of Pang Puang, a delicate garland made from rock flour and fragrant plants -- the art of Pang Puang dates back to the 14th-century Ayutthaya Kingdom.
