Are there any seasonal festivals in Chiang Mai that families should consider attending?

Yes, if you're visiting in November, the Yi Peng Lantern Festival is a spectacular event where families can release lanterns into the sky together, creating a magical atmosphere.

• Another great option is Songkran, the Thai New Year in April, where families can enjoy water fights and cultural activities, making it a fun and memorable experience for kids.

• These festivals not only provide unique entertainment but also offer insights into local traditions, enriching your family's travel experience.

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Lantern releases are subject to current safety, aviation and event rules. Use authorised events and follow local instructions; do not assume visitors may release lanterns anywhere in the city.
