Yi Peng Festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand

It has always been my dream to experience Yi Peng once in a lifetime. Witnessing thousands of lanterns being lit up in the sky as if we were in a tangled movie, obviously it’s a girls dream. We had low expectations due to many bad reviews we have came across, such as the stage were lit up in fire etc. Obviously it is not a safe activity, and people can be careless. To add on the fact that there are more than 3000 seats, it is not easy to monitor and control the situation but of course the organizer should be well prepared. We bought standard ticket which cost us $180. At first we thought that it was way overpriced, it kinda is but honestly after going through the experience, it felt worth it. We were taken by a surprise when there were fireworks as we released the lantern, it was a fascinating sight that I would love to see again.
