Chiang Mai Province has launched the “OTOP Goes Global” fair, bringing together local products and community craftsmanship from all 25 districts of Chiang Mai. Held from 9–11 October 2026 at Central Chiang Mai Airport, the three-day event aims to promote local businesses, boost community income and connect traditional products with tourism and international markets.
