Here up in Chiang Mai is Yee Peng (lanterns festival) celebrated around 20 km from the city at Maejo university, with around 10.000 lanterns… Oh, definitely worth to see 🙂

The spirit of the festival was wonderful and a reminder to evaluate one’s life & negativity from time to time and resolve issues.

@Sarah: Thanks – glad you enjoyed this!

What a beautiful festival and a wonderfully symbolic way of releasing any negativity that we hold onto in our lives 🙂

But, were inexplicably happy when it came up again and made it to the sky!

@Matt: It was a super night!

@Andi: Yeah, the videos and photos from Chiang Mai were pretty incredible, weren’t they? You’ll just need to make your way here for next year’s festival 🙂

@James: I can picture the scene – sounds like a fantastic night listening to the waves carry your regrets and troubles away.

@Zablon: The thing that was really nice about this festival is that the Thais were really open to sharing with everyone, including us foreigners. Hope you get to visit Thailand for this festival one year!
