Experience the Magic of the Sky Lantern Festival 2023

A Mesmerizing Journey through Chiang Mai's Yi Peng Celebration

Discover the enchanting world of the Sky Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai as it returns for 2023. This time-honored event features the mesmerizing release of thousands of lanterns into the night sky, creating a truly magical experience for all who attend. Be part of this unforgettable celebration, embracing the rich history and culture of Thailand's ancient Lanna Kingdom.

The Sky Lantern Festival, or Yi Peng, is an annual tradition deeply rooted in the Lanna culture of northern Thailand. Each year, during the full moon of the second lunar month, locals and visitors alike gather to release lanterns as an expression of gratitude, hope, and letting go of negativity. As the glowing lanterns soar into the sky, they symbolize the release of misfortune and the welcoming of good fortune and blessings for the upcoming year.

Chiang Mai is the heart of the Sky Lantern Festival, with numerous events and celebrations taking place throughout the city. From the grand lantern release at Maejo University to the beautiful krathong (floating flower offerings) on the Ping River, the city comes alive with an array of breathtaking sights and unforgettable experiences that will leave a lasting impression on everyone who attends.
