National and Chiang Mai programmes are still being announced; Sukhothai's confirmed show runs 15–24 November. Recheck the exact local celebration you plan to attend. The placeholder keeps the calendar useful, but this page intentionally omits Event date schema until the edition is confirmed.
Why route around it
What makes it worth the stop
- Thousands of candle-lit krathong floated on rivers, canals and lakes
- Chiang Mai's Yi Peng sky-lantern releases — one of Asia's most magical sights
- Parades, beauty pageants and fireworks in Sukhothai, Bangkok and Chiang Mai
Plan the stop
Practical notes
- Chiang Mai and Sukhothai are the best-known destinations; compare their confirmed local programmes before booking.
- Use a biodegradable krathong (bread or banana-trunk) to protect waterways
- Ticketed mass sky-lantern events sell out early; public riverside releases are free
