Chiang Mai lights up like nowhere else during Yi Peng Lantern Festival, and in 2025, it’s happening on 5 and 6 November 🌕. Held on the full moon of the second month in the Lanna calendar, this heartwarming tradition brings together soft prayers, glowing Khom Loy lanterns, and a sense of calm that’s hard to put into words. Locals gather at temples to pay respect to Buddha, letting lanterns rise into the night sky with hopes for a brighter path ahead.

Around the same time, the rivers come to life with Loy Krathong Festival, where locals float candle-lit rafts on the water to send away bad luck and make a wish. With lanterns drifting above, krathongs glowing below, and temples lit softly in the background, the entire city feels calm and radiant. Reserve your spot for this magical night — a time to pause, reflect, and follow the feeling as it gently leads you forward. Let the light guide you 🕯️✨
