Friman | Sundberg's Posterous

In late 2009 the neighbors and tennis partners, Jan Friman and Per Sundberg, thought it was time share the well hidden treasure and story of The Northern Rose - A Kingdom of Well Being.

The title describes an ancient region were people through the centuries have learned to live in peace and harmony, based on the Buddhist philosophy. The tribal people from this region have at the same time developed a unique sense of maintaining a delicate balance with nature.

To inspire people and visitors, contributing and spreading knowledge about this precious lifestyle in todays fast evolving society, they decided to start a common publishing project and business venture: The Northern Rose - A Kingdom of Well Being.

The project aims to awaken and grow travelers and peoples interest in South East Asian culture, to investigate and publish stories on the development of the Lanna region in Northern Thailand, Laos and Myanmar.
