About

A guide prints 24 to 25 November 2026 for Yi Peng and names free public celebrations at Tha Phae Gate and the Old City, the Ping River near Nawarat Bridge, Wat Phan Tao and Wat Chedi Luang.

Ticketed lantern releases are sold by venues such as Horizon Village and Resort in Doi Saket and Mungmana Farm in San Pa Tong. Most run on both nights, while one venue advertises 24 November only.
