Enjoy the Yi Peng Festival with Lanna Culture
If you are staying at a designated hotel within Chiang Mai Old Town, you can use the free pick-up service from your hotel to the meeting point. Upon arrival at the event venue, you will be welcomed in traditional Lanna style before freely exploring the festival grounds. Traditional Thai costumes are provided for VIP option guests, while the standard option includes a traditional 'sabai' shawl.
At the festival grounds, you can enjoy various Lanna cultural experiences along with traditional performances prepared by local residents. Workshops are held where you can paint on fabric or make lanterns, candles, and herbal compresses yourself. In the evening, savor local food and drinks while enjoying the festival atmosphere.
Send Your Lanterns with Wishes into the Night Sky

As night deepens, the highlight of Yi Peng, the lantern floating, begins. Following the instructions, make a wish, light your Khom Loi lantern, and wait until it's sufficiently inflated before releasing it into the night sky with other participants. The sight of countless lanterns rising simultaneously is the most special moment of this festival.
After releasing the lanterns, you can continue to enjoy traditional performances and explore the festival grounds to take photos. When the event concludes, you will return to Chiang Mai city via the provided transportation.
