Monks and Lanterns
Yee Peng Festival in Chiang Mai (sometimes written as ‘Yi Peng’) is celebrated on the full moon of the twelfth lunar month every year In Chiang Mai.
During Yee Peng (The Lantern Festival), people release floating lanterns into the sky and you see locals' homes and public places decked out in colorful hanging lanterns and flag decorations. The act of releasing the lantern and krathong symbolizes letting go of all ills and misfortunes in the previous year, and Buddhists also believe that if you make a wish when you set off the lantern, it will come true (but only if you do good deeds the following year, of course).
