***Don’t forget to consider the secondary costs of buying tickets outside of CMStay! Purchasing through CMStay will save you from to wasting your holiday time and money to get your tickets. Pay a tuk-tuk ~500B or more to take you outside of town, wait in a queue for your ticket, and another ~500B to return you to town. You’ll also have to get to the pick up point outside of town. Another tuk-tuk ~500B there and 500B again to get back! You’re adding 2000THB to the prices, not including your limited holiday time! CMStay will deliver your tickets to the hotel and arrange for transport from a pick up point inside the Old City!***

March 26, 2016 at 2:15 amI have bought 2 packages after the indication of a TripAdvisor user (CNXSteve) and I have to say that I am impressed so far. They immediately emailed me a confirmation message and answered my questions! We are looking forward to the visit Chiang Mai and experience the festival!

July 19, 2016 at 10:53 pmHey, I want to buy three tickets, but if we can just manage to arrive Chiang Mai airport at around 16:00 on Nov. 14 from Bangkok, will it be possible to catch up the event on time? As I saw that all visitors should arrive before 17:00 and no private cars would be allowed to enter the venue this year. Can you kindly suggest? Thank you!

July 20, 2016 at 11:21 amI”m sorry but no, you will not be there in time.

August 2, 2016 at 6:33 pmI have read that the lantern release is expected to happen only one day which of the two packages is the day to the lantern release?
King
August 4, 2016 at 8:27 amAll packages include tickets to the mass lantern release on the 14th. The difference of the packages is the additional tour that is included on separate date.

August 11, 2016 at 3:50 amHi,
If we buy the November 16th tickets, what time would the elephant tour start and end? We have a flight out on November 16th at 4 PM. If we were to buy this package, then we would do the November 14th mass lantern festival, and then the elephant tour on November 16th? If not, can we purchase the lantern festival tickets alone?
Thank you!

August 12, 2016 at 2:25 pmThe elephant tour does pick ups around 8am – 8:30am and drop offs between 5 an 6pm, depending on traffic, weather, etc.
