Chiang Mai and the beautiful Yi Pen Lantern Festival

One of the best experiences to do in Chiang Mai is to attend the Yi Peng Lantern Festival. This takes place annually in November and citizens entrust thousands of paper lanterns to the sky, symbolically bringing dreams and desires to the Buddha. Similar to the Yi Peng Lantern Festival, it is the Loi Krathong during which thousands of lanterns (called krathongs) are dropped on rivers and streams.
