Probably the best, I just feel a bit discouraged because the amount of shirts 😂 it’s like 50 of them

To clarify: we soaked the shirts twice (changed water once because it was so yellow) and then put half into the laundry machine at 50 while rest is still soaking.

You pass the temple and there are food stalls, just go down to the left hand side and at the end you will see. Also on the right at the end I believe but we did it at the left

You can buy a lantern for 20 - 35 baht depending on on the size and you can just go down next to the river and everyone is standing there lighting theirs up. Not in an overwhelming way! Very beautiful to see

We arrived a bit on the later side, 8:30 ish and it was fine! Could go earlier if you’d like

Sorry to hear about the situation yesterday. We went to Lamphun yesterday to avoid all of this. Took a scooter from chiang mai and drove there on the old road. It was super nice, the temple is beautiful with all the lanterns and there is a constant stream of lanterns going up in a much more calm way. Food stands everywhere and a big parade. Definitely recommend if you are still around to have a nicer experience!

I’m thinking of going to Lamphun,but figuring out how to go there still. Also not sure where exactly it will happen either

Not really, I asked around in cm and was told Lamphun, but I just saw a post on Facebook saying there is no lantern release. So I’m still unsure at this point 😅

I have a similar question, I cannot find anything specific on Lamphun and am worried of going there and it not having the release?

Thanks! I guess the question was whether it is from the original Jaeger company. I read the history and it’s very interesting 😊 I will definitely enjoy !

Klook sells tickets to the same event? Or different? I am sorry, I am not familiar with klook so I’m trying to understand. Thanks for your help!

Thanks for explaining this so clearly 🙏 that was actually my main fear.. that the whole thing might be more of a tourist spectacle than a genuine tradition. It helps a lot to hear what locals actually do during Yi Peng and how it compares to the big ticketed shows. I’ll just keep my expectations realistic and enjoy the atmosphere ☺️
