Intro
Every November full moon, thousands of sky lanterns rise over a valley east of Chiang Mai. The CAD Khomloy festival stages the Lanna ritual of Yi Peng — monk-chanted ceremony, drums, a Lanna buffet, then the mass launch at nightfall. Here's how tickets, tiers and shuttles work, and how to make the most of one golden night.
