About Loi Krathong Festival In Chiang Mai

An annual festival celebrated in Thailand by the locals, Loi Krathong festival of lights marks the end of the monsoon season in the country. In the month of November when there is a full moon night, you will see the rivers of Thailand lit up brightly with floating candles. The people of Thailand observe this festival with much zeal and vigour as they believe that it signifies purgation of the mind and leads to enlightenment.

Out of all the three places in Thailand where Loi Krathong is celebrated, Chiang Mai is the only place where the festival is celebrated along with Yi Peng ( another festival of lights in Northern Thailand). The major attraction of the festival includes the brightly-lit lanterns that are made up of rice paper and then stretched over a frame of bamboo with a candle attached to it.

Chiang Mai is the meeting point of Loi Krathong and Yi Peng. But in Chiang Mai, the festival is celebrated with flying lanterns instead of floating ones. If you wish to be a part of the Loi Krathong festival in 2019, you may as well book a tour during November. Chiang Mai is suitable for all seasons-travel. Also, do not forget to enjoy the incredible parades, display of fireworks and traditional art performances that take place in major areas.

    Debanjan's 7 days trip to Chiang Mai

    We had worst experience on arrival at Phuket, the itinerary has been changed but no information shared, moreover the phi-phi island trip cancelled without any reason. We have enquired with other trip agents whether there is any govt notification for cancellation of island journey on 3rd January but
    they confirmed that they sent 11 passenger for phi-phi island for that day . So we have wasted our entire trip of Phuket. Going from far off places depending on the agents had our worst night mare. We had enjoyed at our own. From 4th January we have enjoyed our trip managed by Travel agent. Our suggestions: they should have command over their overseas partner for better communication and management. Now we are awaiting our refund of cancellation of phi- phi island trip amount also the compensation for loss of time and mental tensions upto 3rd January. 4 island trip at Krabi.

    Abhineet's 8 days trip to Chiang Mai

    I will share my true experience in a bit detail: Pros: - What made me choose SPSV travels in the beginning was the polite and convincing tone in which they explained me the process of booking. - Then I found them extremely accepting for the many changes i asked for in the itinerary - Their SPOC "Kr
    ishna" was also very soft spoken - The prices quoted were also optimal and genuine. No extra charges were added. -- The ground team (in Thailand) was good and planned and organized the activities really well (barring 1 or 2 glitches). Cons: - There knowledge of Thailand itinerary is very standard. They do not have in depth info about off-beat or non-standard locations/activities which tourists can do. - Most of the research about good hotels and spots had to be done by me. Their recommendations were not very apt. - The ground team in Thailand is completely another agency who SPSV has been partnered with. - As a result the itinerary is actually finalized by them and not SPSV. SPSV has very little say in deciding the sequence of spots. - Once you reach the destination, SPSV is almost absent. Everything is in local team's hand But overall the joint effort was good and we had a pleasant holiday.

    Soma's 6 days trip to Chiang Mai

    This time we did a tour of Thailand with Travel Triangle. As it's a international tour, third party agent (Tripoholic) haas been chosen as per quotation suits. But the service was not at par. When we reached tiger kingdom we realised Tripoholic has asked high charge. The local agent Pum was nice but
    one another person Renu was very rude, didn't want to listen to us properly. Overall I would rate 3.5 out of 5. The scenic beauty, beach experience, dolphin show and tiger kingdom are some of the best memories...
