The Heaven Lantern: A Celebration of Culture and Tradition

The Heaven Lantern is a gathering of local talents who deeply appreciate cultural heritage, possess expertise in local cuisine, craftsmanship, and performances. Our objective is to carry forth the spirit of the Yi Peng Festival of Chiang Mai into the year 2023. We aim to provide foreign tourists with a vivid reenactment of the ancient Lanna Kad Mua and Lanna performing arts.

This endeavor serves to promote Thai culture and traditions, enrich cultural tourism, raise awareness of the Loi Krathong tradition, and boost the tourism economy through the rich tapestry of Thailand’s culture and traditions.

Additionally, our focus is on involving local communities in the activities, fostering income generation for communities and charitable organizations, and contributing to social and cultural development at large.
