Yi Peng Lantern Festival
About Yi Peng Lantern Festival
The iconic Yi Peng Lantern Festival is held in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand on the full moon of the 12th lunar month of the calendar year, which usually falls in mid November. Visitors gather from all around to celebrate Yi Peng by releasing thousands of brightly lit lanterns into the night sky, creating a magical effect that leaves a lasting impression for anyone lucky enough to witness it in person.
