Yi Peng Festival is a part of Loy Krathong Festival in North of Thailand, Yi Peng  is held on a full moon of the 2nd month of the Lanna calendar (“Yi” meaning “2nd” and “Peng” meaning “month” in the Lanna language). In this festival, a multitude of Lanna-style sky lanterns (Khom loi (Thai: โคมลอย), literally: “floating lanterns”) are launched into the air where they resemble large flocks of giant fluorescent jellyfish gracefully floating by through the sky. Everybody make a wish before release a Khom loi to the sky.

Everywhere you visit you will hear a song called “Loy Krathong”
