Krathongs on the river. Lanterns in the sky. One full moon.

Celebrate with us

Two lantern nights we sell tickets for, with transport from Chiang Mai.

Highlights

  1. Float a krathong

    A small float of banana leaf, flowers, a candle and incense, set on the water to give thanks and let go.

  2. Release a lantern

    In Chiang Mai the same nights are Yi Peng: lanterns go up together at organised events.

  3. Go with a ticket

    Lanterns may only be released where and when organisers allow. Our two events include transport and a set release time.
