Traveler Reviews
The driver arrives on time, the location wasn’t really full of people so was good for me. I got a lot of free souvenirs. The food was good and the moment to put the flashlight up was great. The performances was so beautiful. I really recommend.
It was ok, we just suggested that the meeting point should be in the city area for gold ticket too.
Good smaller festival to go too than the large one but I felt it was better due to this! Tickets were abit confusing but took 5 mins max to sort ☺️
The tour was very nice, I think one of the best experiences in life. Totally recommended.
Spectecular, give me 14 of them right now. The Transport horrible tho
i was great, i believe trip can be shrunk due to the fact there is not too much to do there specifically if that they is a raining one.
Bit of confusion as we had to pay expensive transport to get out of the city to a mall, only then to be taken back into the city by a bus to go to the festival. When we arrived at the mall where we was supposed to be met by staff, there was no one and everyone there seemed confused what to do. We waited one hour to take a bus to the coach which we could have walked in ten minutes if only someone told us. When we arrived at the festival all the food was gone so we did not eat for hours. When we arrived to our seats we heard on the speaker the host tell people to sit where ever they could even i
Wooow! I came to Thailand just for this moment & it was honestly such a dream come true, a pinch me moment, so perfect🥹
The start wasnt very organised however the festival was one of the most amazing things ive ever done
Our driver picked us up on time and drove us to the location about 40 km outside Chiang Mai. We arrived on time and had the opportunity to see everything at our leisure. The size of the event is perfect and everything is rather smaller and clearer than at the big events. The lantern sky is overwhelming!
We had an amazing time! So much is included with this ticket, there was 2 separate buffets with plenty of food to go around, free traditional Thai hair styling and different craft workshops. The only thing not included was alcoholic drinks but only 100BHT for an ice cold beer. We saw some reviews about poorly organised transport so we booked our own transport there (~1100BHT for 6 of us) but got the bus back and it was super easy, they even had 2 different options for drop off in Chiang Mai. The lanterns and fireworks were incredible, we even got given spares so had plenty to release. Staff ar
The whole festival is amazing 😍😍 it literally brought tears to my eyes… the food and attractions are all included, I really recommend everyone to do this… but it’s not something for someone who doesn’t have patience or can’t deal with problems… it started to rain very heavily and there was no cover and there’s a small line for you to get your entry ticket, but even still, it was one of the best things I ever did… there’s no guide though, you do it all by yourself (which for me was fine, since everything was very well organized)… I really disagree with the comments about the organization, and I
