The golden orange, with golden peel and a sweet taste, is a famous crop of Nan Province. The orange's gold color results from the difference between day time and night time temperature. Main features in the fair include beauty contests, Golden orange parade contest, Contest, booths displayed by the government and private sectors, and various entertainment. It is held in October or November when the Nan River flows swiftly past the province. It is incorporated with the celebrations of the Black Ivory and the local Tod Kathin.
Boats are dugouts made from large logs and beautifully decorated.
Manned by well-trained oarsmen, the racing boats are lustily cheered on by spectators lining both banks of the river.
