You can reach Mae Jo University with a Songthaew (popular red trucks) from Chiang Mai city center, which will cost you around 100 Bahts each way. Should the location not change, the festival is held on the grounds of Mae Jo University, 15 km away from the city. (The Facebook page is in Thai, but you can simply translate it on Facebook, or search on Facebook for other “Chiang Mai events”) The date changes each year according to the Buddhist calendar. It is announced only a few weeks before the event, so keep an eye on it around the end of September and October.
PING LANTERN FREE
To anyone interested in participating in subsequent years, I recommend checking the Lanna Dhutanka facebook page to know the date of the free event. The former is the free traditional and local celebration performed in Thai language (though they translate a few things to English), while the latter is for tourists and apparently has a fee of $100 for the same thing (though the fee includes lanterns, seating mat, shuttle, krathong, and dinner).

No, it's not.Essential Info: Logistical Tips and Tricks to Book your Yi Peng ExperienceĪs explained before, there are two Festivals of Light and both are celebrated in Chiang Mai too: Yi Peng and Loi Krathong.Jon: Nice work, idiot! that's already dirty!
