Loi Krathong is easily one of the most festive events of the year. Every November, visitors gather in Chiang Mai to release floating lanterns called 'krathongs' down the Ping River. Because of the nature of the festival, with participants sending their wishes and hopes with their 'krathongs' down the river, the festival is infused with a positive and buoyant atmosphere.
