Answer

Absolutely! The Yi Peng Lantern Festival is perfect for families, with numerous activities that cater to all ages.

• Families can participate in lantern-making workshops, where kids can enjoy crafting their own lanterns and learning about the festival's significance.

• Watching the lanterns being released into the sky as a family creates a magical moment, and it's also a great opportunity to capture beautiful photos together.

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.
