Yi Peng Lantern Festival

Each year, under the full moon of northern Thailand, the skies above Chiang Mai fill with thousands of glowing lanterns. As they rise together, the city falls silent—watching light carry wishes, intentions, and old burdens into the night.

Yi Peng is not a spectacle of noise or speed.

It is a moment of pause.

Rooted in Lanna tradition, the festival marks a time of renewal, gratitude, and reflection. Locals release lanterns as a symbolic act—letting go of the past and welcoming clarity for the year ahead. It is both deeply personal and profoundly collective.

Stealth Experiences curates a refined way to witness and participate in Yi Peng. With thoughtfully selected viewing locations, cultural guidance, and seamless logistics, you’ll experience the festival in its most meaningful form—unhurried, immersive, and intentional.

This is not about the lantern.

It’s about what you leave behind when it rises.
