Sky lanterns authorized in Chiang Mai on November 25 (Loy Krathong)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Chiang Mai authorities have decided to ban sky lanterns in five districts during the traditional Yi Peng Festival<\/strong><\/a> from November 24th. <\/span>But they also decided, and that is where good news are\u00a0that this ban would except November 25 and December 31.<\/span><\/p>\n

At these dates, launching lanterns in the sky will be allowed even in districts affected by the ban. <\/span>This means that unlike in Bangkok,\u00a0there will be sky\u00a0lanterns in Chiang Mai on November 25, Loy Krathong day.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The sky lanterns will also be allowed on December 31 for New Year’s Eve. So on\u00a0November 25 and December 31, flights to or from Chiang Mai will be postponed to avoid accidents due to floating lanterns.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is usually around the Thapae Gate that most Loy Krathong events take place\u00a0in Chiang Mai : <\/span>\u00a0the parade, the sky lanterns releases or even launching krathongs on the maot (although for krathongs, it is more impressive\u00a0on the banks of Ping River).<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also beautiful ceremonies in the temples of Chiang Mai<\/a> like\u00a0the candles ceremony at Wat Pan Tao.<\/span>
