Chiang Mai Yi Peng Lantern Festival 2026 Ticket with Transfers

1. Admission ticket included
   Celebrate Chiang Mai Lantern Festival 2026, where Yi Peng and Loy Krathong traditions meet in a night of culture, crafts, and light. Start with shuttle boarding at CMU Hall for Standard and VIP tickets, or hotel pickup in Chiang Mai for Premium and Elite tickets.
   
   Try hands-on activities such as parasol painting, wood carving, Taleaw lucky keychain making, weaving, and traditional games. Dining varies by ticket tier, from Kad Mua-style market flavors to buffets, vegan menus, premium dining, and food truck experiences. Receive a clay candle set for the blessing ritual, then honor Loy Krathong at the floating area, while Elite guests enjoy a more private setting.
   
   As night falls, release your Yi Peng sky lanterns alongside thousands of glowing lights. After the celebration, return by shuttle or hotel transfer with memories of Chiang Mai’s lantern-lit festival night.
