The Loi Kratong festival is something that really has to be seen to be believed. For nearly two weeks in Chiang Mai the nights are beautiful and noisy affairs. Everyone lights floating paper lanterns which carry away all of your bad luck. Many people launch banana boats in the Ping River as thanks for another rainy season. And every night the fireworks go off all night, all morning, all day... ALL THE NOISE NOISE NOISE NOISE!
If you are fortunate enough to be planning a trip to Thailand in November (when the weather is amazing) you should try to visit Chiang Mai for this festival.
