Only four days prior to the raucous Loy Krathong shindigs the same enthusiastic crowds will be tearing it up across the nation celebrating Yi Peng. During this centuries-old celebration thousands gather to send the country’s famous paper lanterns skyward; paying homage to Lord Buddha and wiping the proverbial slate clean.
Visitors can’t get enough of the famous Yi Peng parades, featuring insanely intricate, light-festooned floats, scores of dancers in traditional costume and dancing dragons. Plus the sweet tunes, to die for food and endless opportunities for the perfect Instagram shot make Yi Peng an absolute must.
Though noteworthy celebrations take place in Bangkok and other parts of the country, Chiang Mai’s Sansai district is THE place for a Yi Peng experience. Revelers generally head to the Three Kings Monument or the Thapae Gate to check out the eye-popping lantern displays. However, the entire Old Town district is prime Yi Peng territory. Locals bedazzle homes and temples with blossoms, coconut leaves, lanterns and candles, making a simple stroll an unforgettable experience.
