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.

from SGD 1,499

We believe the most unforgettable journeys aren't about arriving just in time for a festival—they're about discovering the culture that brings it to life. That's why we created Chiang Mai Unseen: Lantern Festival Edition. Before the lanterns light up the night sky, immerse yourself in Northern Thailand through its markets, local cuisine, wellness traditions and everyday way of life.
