🏯 About the Festival — History & Culture

Yi Peng originates from the Lanna tradition in Northern Thailand and is famous for releasing khom loi (sky lanterns) as a symbolic letting go of misfortune. Loy Krathong involves floating decorated baskets (krathong) on water to give thanks and ask for forgiveness from the river goddess. Both events usually occur around the November full moon, producing Chiang Mai’s most atmospheric nights.
