Loi Krathong/Yi Peng

Loi Krathong takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar. On the night of the full moon,
​visitors place their krathongs in the Ping River, making a wish as they do so.


Yi Peng, "Full Moon Day", coincides with Loi Krathong. Visitors make merit by launching paper lanterns into the air after making a wish or saying a prayer. The festivities last for 3 days.
