in Chiang MaiSlide2

Yi Peng

(local name) is part of the festival of lights in Northern Thailand to show respect to Buddha. It's date usually coincides with Loi

Krathong which all of Thailand celebrates using floating lights on water. In Northern Thailand Yi Peng, which is celebrated alongside

Loi

Krathong, is different in that lights are placed into sky lanterns which float up into the air. Slide3

Loi

Krathong still happens in Chiang Mai but the actual Loi

Krathong

floating lanterns on water event happens the day/night after Yi Peng.

Alongside the floating light ceremonies there are also parades, fireworks, displays of colorful lanterns and cultural highlights involving the

Lanna. As Chiang Mai was the former capital of the

Lanna

Kingdom it holds the largest Yi Peng Festival. Slide4

Did you know?

Yi Peng translated from Lanna

is "Yi"

meaning "2nd" and

"Peng"

meaning "month". Yi Peng is held on the full moon of the 2nd month of the

Lanna

calendar. Though the exact dates change yearly it's usually held in mid to late November. Slide5

Sky Lanterns (

Khom loi / Khom

Loy / Khom

Fai) when released are said to end a person’s bad luck or misfortune. Especially if it disappears from view before the fire goes

out.Slide6

There's a little confusion over where and when to actually see the spectacular lantern release during Yi Peng in Chiang Mai. Here's a simple break down.

The biggest lantern release is held behind Mae Jo University in Chiang Mai known as the

Lanna

Dhutanka

grounds. There is a second release of lanterns for paying tourists only about a week after the official ceremony.

Lanterns are released all over Chiang Mai city throughout the weekend festival (even in the days leading up to it)Slide7
