Chiang Mai CAD New Year Countdown 2026

an amazing experience it was the most magical and unforgettable night. the staff were friendly and prepared to help direct you where you want to go, food is also included. the lanterns were something else 😮only thing to bear in mind is if you’re like me and enjoy a glass of bubbly at midnight there is a no alcohol policy on site, I heard a few people mention that they didn’t know (including me 😂)

The fireworks and sky lanterns were spectacular. I bought the Standard ticket this time, which included round-trip transportation and meals. The meals differ depending on the ticket price, and there were at least 20 stalls to choose from, as well as drinks. There were also some traditional snacks and fruits to eat in the cultural village, as well as hands-on experiences and traditional performances. The shuttle bus back was crowded and a bit chaotic, and we got back to the city around 3:00.

The New Year's Eve event in Chiang Mai is really worth it, with fireworks and sky lanterns, a food zone, famous folk performances and band performances. Ticket prices are divided into three levels (VIP, Premium, Elite). Except for the difference in food and performance seats, everything else is the same! It’s really a perfect way to celebrate the New Year in this way, leaving very good memories😍For me who is usually busy with work, planning a trip like this is really relaxing and healing👍

The lantern release is a magical moment. It's hard to appreciate the spectacle because you're sitting very far away, fortunately the staff doesn't forbid us from going to the front temporarily. The show is therefore a bit dispensable, even if very pretty with the light effects. The fireworks display is grandiose and lasts a long time (almost 30 minutes), we have two lanterns per person. The food is okay but there are a lot of people at the stands.

ill start with the postives; 1. the best new years eve countdown i have ever experienced together with my mom. 2. food selections were endless though the vip area is too far. 3. reliable transportation service. 4. the setup was great and the performances as well. 5. FUREWORKS AND LANTERNS!!! cons. 1. I bought 2 tix for my self and my mom(70yo) but guess what we where seated end to end of the venue. I ask them if we can seat together or atleast compromise some arrangement since I'm accompanying my mother again who is 70 years old. the staff weren't helpful and very firm with NO. and ask me to go to the management which is very far and located to the entrance and also answered me with NO. 2. this is not pwd, senior friendly event. the comfort room is so far from the main stage if you need to pee your mom needs to walk a hundred meters or atleast half kilometer to return. 3. I know this is their 1st nye with cad but it slight fail with releasing of lanterns. they ask them to prepare around 11.45. guess what 11.45 majority of attendants already went out releasing lantern and at 12mn few lantern are flying the magical experience spoils a bit. tho, the fireworks was magical. nevertheless we still enjoyed this and my mom loves it.

Awesome experience I never thought I needed Important: take warm jacket, it will be humid and chill by night

An amazing experience, a stunning sky lantern fireworks show, and a very chill atmosphere with a food market. The only downside was the very chaotic shuttle bus arrangement after the event.

It was the best experience my friends and I have ever had. The lanterns and fireworks were amazing, and there was a wide variety of food. Our standard ticket was just right. If I may suggest one improvement, the crowd control at the bus queue after the event could be better managed.

This experience is absolutely unforgettable and truly a must-try! It felt surreal from start to finish. I went with friends yesterday to celebrate the New Year, and the combination of the lantern release and fireworks show was nothing short of a bucket list moment. The atmosphere was magical, filled with joy and wonder. Tips: • Eat first in food zone as the event can run long. • Bring some cash for souvenirs—you’ll want to take a piece of the magic home. • Don’t forget a jacket—Thailand may be tropical, but winter nights can get chilly!

The countdown was amazing! 🎆✨ The live music, food stalls, and vibrant energy made it unforgettable. The fireworks display was absolutely stunning, lighting up the night sky with colors. Perfect way to welcome the new year! 🥳✨
