What to expect

Yee Peng Lanna International 2026 at Lanna Thutanka Maejo

This experience centers on Lanna-inspired mindfulness, culture, and the symbolic release of sky lanterns during the Yee Peng festival atmosphere. You spend the evening at Lanna Thutanka Maejo, moving from quiet meditation and sensory activities to shared ceremony moments.

Features

• Mindfulness and meditation activities inspired by Lanna traditions form the heart of the program, guiding you to slow down and reflect before the lantern release. These practices connect you with local spiritual customs and set a calm tone for the evening.
• Lanna-inspired art, culture, and healing experiences are woven into the event, so you observe how traditional aesthetics, gestures, and practices are used as tools for inner balance. This cultural layer helps you understand why Yee Peng is closely linked to renewal and intention-setting.
• Calming sounds and soothing natural fragrances surround the ceremony space, creating a multi-sensory environment that supports quiet focus. You notice how the soundscape and scents are used to maintain a peaceful mood while the crowd gathers.
• Seating in the ceremony area is provided for all guests, with standard seating or premium seating in the ceremony area available according to the ticket you select. Your reserved place lets you remain focused on the ceremony rather than searching for a spot.
• A buffet dinner with bottled water and non-alcoholic beverages is included, giving you time to eat and rehydrate between activities. The meal is served on site so you do not need to leave the ceremony area or arrange separate dining.
• Cultural performances take place during the ceremony, adding movement, music, and storytelling that reflect Lanna heritage. You watch these performances from your seat as part of the continuous program.
• Each guest receives 2 khom loi lanterns per person, which you prepare and light during the key ritual. When you release your khom loi sky lantern, it serves as a symbolic act of letting go, hope, and inner peace.
• Round-trip transfers are included, so your travel between Central Festival Chiang Mai and Lanna Thutanka Maejo is handled for you. This removes the need to manage separate transportation in and out of the festival area.
• Event accident insurance is included for all ticket holders, providing coverage during the organized activities. This insurance is part of your booking and does not require any separate purchase.

Wrapping up

At the end of the ceremony, after releasing your 2 khom loi lanterns and completing the evening program, you return to your vehicle for the round-trip transfers back to Central Festival Chiang Mai. Accommodation and any items or services not specifically mentioned as included are not part of this experience.
