The Festival of Lights is celebrated all around Thailand with Loi Krathongs (lotus-shaped receptacles) released on water to bring luck and fulfill wishes. In Chiang Mai, the observation of the festival of lights, called Yi Peng, is uniquely different. Instead of a water vessel, Chiang Mai people release thousands of lit lanterns into the sky while making a wish. The sky transforms itself in a wonderful and surreal sea of lanterns floating away.
