Experience the magical atmosphere of the Yi Peng Lantern Festival at Maejo University in 2026, one of Thailand’s most breathtaking and spiritually rich celebrations. Held annually in the northern region, especially in Chiang Mai, this festival transforms the night sky into a sea of glowing lanterns, creating a sense of peace, unity, and wonder.

Join locals and visitors as they gather at Maejo University, where the sound of monks chanting fills the air. Witness heartfelt moments as people light and release “Khom Loy” — floating lanterns — into the sky as symbolic offerings of hopes, dreams, and letting go of misfortunes.

The city is beautifully adorned with colorful hanging lanterns and intricate decorations that illuminate streets, homes, and sacred spaces. Every detail reflects devotion to Lord Buddha and a deep connection to Thai Buddhist traditions.

More than just a visual spectacle, Yi Peng is a soulful experience that blends cultural heritage with spiritual reflection. Don’t miss this unforgettable event that offers not only stunning views, but also meaningful participation in local customs and timeless beliefs.
