As twilight falls over Chiang Mai, the glow of lanterns and the fragrance of incense welcome you to a magical evening by the Ping River. Rooted in the Baworn spirit — Home, Temple, and School, this community-based festival connects travelers with locals, where artisans, students, and monks share their traditions with pride.

Wander through the lively Lanna Market (Kad Mua), join hands-on workshops, and enjoy the sounds of music and laughter. At the riverbank, take part in Loy Krathong on the real Ping River, releasing a candlelit krathong and watching it drift away like starlight on the water.

Savor an international buffet with free-flow drinks as cultural shows unfold — drums, dances, and stories passed down through generations. A serene Buddhist ceremony by monks follows, preparing you for the breathtaking finale: the unlimited lantern release, where thousands of lights rise into the night sky, crowned by dazzling fireworks.

Choose from Silver without transfer, Silver with transfer, or the Gold VIP package with wine, premium souvenirs, and the best views. Here, you don’t just attend; you give back to the community and take home memories as timeless as the stars.
