Chiangmai Unseen: Lantern Festival EditionChiang Mai, Thailand

Chiangmai Unseen: Lantern Festival Edition

Over five days, we'll discover the many sides of Chiang Mai—from bustling night markets and hidden cafés to hands-on cooking classes, unique local wellness traditions and centuries-old Lanna culture. As the city gradually transforms for the Yi Peng Lantern Festival, you'll experience Northern Thailand through its food, people and everyday traditions before joining one of the world's most magical celebrations, where thousands of glowing lanterns illuminate the night sky. It's a journey that blends authentic local experiences with a once-a-year festival you'll never forget.
