TICKETS AVAILABLE!!! – Hard Work Pays Off.
Big News!
A few days ago we were able to negotiate a small allotment of tickets to the Private Yee Peng Lantern Release. It will be held in the mountain village areas of Chiang Mai. With a maximum of 500 people this event is destined to be special. With more than enough people to get the iconic picture (like you see above), but not too many people where its loses the special feeling of the moment.
Originally, we were only allotted 50 tickets, but there were so many people interested that we oversold almost immediately. Luckily, all the work paid off. We have been given rights to help sell the rest of the tickets to the event!!!
That means ticket sales are open now for the Private Yee Peng Lantern Release.
***SOLD OUT***
You will receive a confirmation by email once payment is received. Names and passport number will be checked as you board the bus.
Some Specifics:
Final logistics are being ironed out, but here are the preliminaries:
- Transportation is included in the price.
- Buses are expected to leave from the Night Bazaar area about 3pm and should return to the city about 10 – 10:30pm
- There is a temple next door with YP ceremony, but it is not mandatory to attend.
- 1 Lantern included with each ticket.
- Local village people will be selling local foods on site. Please help support the local villagers.
- Please dress and act respectfully. There will be people of all ages, nationalities and religions present.
- This is NOT Yee Peng Lanna International. This is a private event.

October 15, 2016 at 5:45 amHello,
Does this mean that there will still be lantern releases throughout Chiang Mai, despite the current mourning period? Or is this the only location where lantern releases are allowed to continue?
King
October 15, 2016 at 9:36 amThere will not be city events as there usually are. The 2 mass lantern events will continue.

October 21, 2016 at 2:20 pmWhat is the difference between these event, the Yee Peng Lanna International and the Yee Peng run by the local authorities which is free?
King
October 21, 2016 at 10:48 pmThe most important difference is the Yee Peng Lanna International mass lantern release is sold out. The city events are not a mass lantern release like you see in the pictures. Rather, its more just people randomly releasing lanterns which doesn’t get that picture everyone is hoping for.

November 12, 2016 at 7:30 pmIs there any way to get a ticket? We have been travelling for 2 months with our asia tour based around Yi peng and now it is cancelled and we are in Chiang Mai. I’m absolutely devastated. Please please if there is any way we can attend your event, contact me!
