Festival de Lanternas Khomloy CAD Chiangmai 2026

This is once in a lifetime experince! The massive release of the lanterns plus the fireworks moved me in tears! The food in the buffet are delicious. We were lucky enough that it didn't rain. Got a beautiful full moon.

such a macgical time. pick up from payap went fastand smooth since I got there at exactly 1pm. Not confusing and although lines are long it was moving fast (line dedicated for transfer to actual grounds) The experience itself was magical and truly one of a kind. Food offered was more than enough and very was also good. i was able to really exp their culture theu their food. overall I am satisfied and will definitely repeat my exp.

下午一點開始接駁，建議12點就到，人真的很多，接駁動線也不好，排隊排很久。到了之後會有一些小點心可以排隊，但不用急著排，可以先逛一圈，因為後面還會有一樣的點心可以拿。晚餐會依照票價劃分區域，如果能力許可建議直接買最貴的票價，不同區域還會有不同的表演可以看。放天燈的時候也不用急著放，先拍煙火和其他人的天燈，等拍得差不多再開始放，急著放自己的天燈，都要拍照的時候煙火已經沒了！回程也是動線很差，沒有明確標示每個價位的接駁和回程地點是哪一台，司機只會說這台去哪，就算上到不同票價的車也不會發現。上車之後等了一個小時才出發，回到市區已經11點多。整體來說是很值得的體驗，雖然有些許美中不足，但不會後悔！

The CAD Lantern Festival was absolutely magical — easily one of the most breathtaking experiences in Chiang Mai. The moment we stepped in, the entire place felt surreal: thousands of lanterns glowing against the night sky, warm lights reflecting off the water, and a peaceful atmosphere that felt straight out of a dream. The organization was smooth from start to finish. Staff were helpful, everything was clearly guided, and the entire event felt safe and well-coordinated despite the huge crowd. Releasing the lanterns together was the highlight — such a beautiful, emotional moment. Watching hundreds of lanterns rise all at once was something I’ll never forget. The food stalls, cultural performances, and traditional touches added to the charm, making it more than just a lantern release — it felt like a celebration of Thai culture. Worth every second and every baht.

Attending the Yi Peng Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai was magical. As thousands of lanterns floated into the night sky, carrying wishes and hopes, I felt a profound sense of peace and unity. The glowing lights against the stars created an unforgettable spectacle, reminding me of life’s fleeting beauty and shared dreams.

Participar do Festival de Lanternas de Chiang Mai foi uma experiência mágica. Milhares de lanternas carregando desejos flutuaram em direção ao céu noturno, e senti uma profunda sensação de paz e união. A luz refletia nas estrelas, criando um cenário inesquecível que me fez compreender a breve beleza da vida e os sonhos compartilhados.

The festival was super cool, and the food was amazingly delicious! 🌕✨ However, the pickup and drop-off shuttle service needs improvement — you really need a lot of patience for it. I hope that in future events, the organizers will have more time to prepare and address the issues that happened in this year’s festival.

A very unforgettable experience! Had a lot of free snacks and dinner. Lots of enjoyable shows and activities. And of course, the lanters. Truly memorable and a once in a lifetime experience 🫶🏻

Had a wonderful experience. Was lucky to get on the shuttle from the meeting point to the event space quick enough. Very worth it. Tips will be to reach the meeting point early, and leave as early as you can to look for the shuttle back to the city. For us, the standard shuttle are all the way in the parking area. Walk far in enough and there will be drivers/staff standing beside the red songtheaws and shouting the drop off location (Maya mall / Night bazaar in our case).

It was a very memorable first-time experience. Thousand of sky lanterns in the night sky is so magical. The venue feels like coachella. However, getting into the provided transportation is kinda messy and chaotic. It was hard for the team to control the volume of guests. The queue in taking the provided transportation was just crazy. Furthermore, we booked a VIP ticket and was thinking dinner will be served only to realize that the finger foods there were the food served for VIP tocket holders. Was expecting a buffet dinner. Despite the amazing experience, I would say that the price is super expensive. experience: It was awesome. location: It was 30 minutes away from Payap University which is the pick up point, but we travelled more than an hour because of the traffic. The transportation in general was chaotoc.
