Imagine standing beneath a night sky illuminated by thousands of glowing lanterns, each carrying a heartfelt wish, a hope, or a dream. This breathtaking spectacle awaits you at the Sky Lantern Festival 2023 in Chiang Mai. Don't miss your chance to be part of this mesmerizing celebration, where you'll be immersed in the rich history and culture of Thailand's ancient Lanna Kingdom.

The annual Sky Lantern Festival, also known as Yi Peng, is a captivating tradition in northern Thailand's Lanna culture. Every year, during the full moon of the second lunar month, people from all walks of life come together to release lanterns into the sky as an expression of gratitude, hope, and the letting go of negativity. As the lanterns ascend, they symbolize the release of misfortune and the welcoming of good fortune and blessings for the year ahead.

Chiang Mai, the cultural heart of northern Thailand, is the epicenter of the Sky Lantern Festival. The city plays host to a myriad of events and celebrations that will leave you spellbound. From the grand lantern release at Maejo University to the beautiful krathong (floating flower offerings) on the Ping River, there's no better place to experience the magic of the Sky Lantern Festival.

Why celebrate in Chiang Mai?

All around Chiang Mai, you'll be mesmerized by the sight of thousands of lanterns (khom loy) floating into the sky, candles illuminating charming sois (lanes), special parades, and krathong (floating flower offerings) drifting along the Ping River. To truly appreciate the grandeur of the festival, join the main celebrations at the Three Kings Monument, Thapae Gate, Phan Tao temple, the Old Town moat area, and the Ping River.

For a more intimate experience away from the bustling crowds, head to a rooftop bar like Oasis or take a tranquil stroll down candlelit lanes.
