Background
Yi Peng is the Lanna sky-lantern festival, often aligned with Loy Krathong in Chiang Mai—one of northern Thailand’s most iconic sights.
Impact on travellers
Chiang Mai hotels sell out and viewing spots throng; some lantern fields are ticketed. Follow fire and aviation rules—do not release lanterns in banned zones.
Extra notes
