The 3 major festival are: The Loi Krathong Festival This festival is great for those who enjoy fireworks, parades and floats. Each year the festival is at a different date in October or November depending on the lunar calander. In 2008 the festival will be from November 8th through the 11th. Reservations need to be made early as people from all over the world come to join in the festivities. Here is an article I wrote about the festival in 2005 and what it all means to the Thai people. You can also view a short streaming video of the "Khom Loy" celeration during the first evening of the Loi Krathong Festival. I am sure you have seen nothing like it. To be there in person is a real experience you will remember for a lifetime. The Chiang Mai Flower festival This is the Thailand version of the Rose Bowl Parade in the USA. Colorful floats made with colorful flowers, orchids and seeds are used. Wonderful traditional northern Thai costumes are worn by all and lovely girls and beauty queens adorn the floats. There are marching bands and country folk playing northern Thai music in the parade. The festival is always the first weekend in Feburary. On Saturday is the parade and on Sunday is the beauty pagent and displays of unique flowers, plants, trees and orchids in the park. As with every festival in Chiang Mai there is plenty of delicious food available from vendors along with a Shopping Bazaar surrounding the park. For more detailed information about the flower festival you can read my article here. You can also see the short streaming video of the Flower Festival Parade I took last year. Sonkran or the Thai New Year Songkran first started in the old Kingom of Lanna, which then comprised of Northen Thailand, parts of Laos, and southern Yunnan Province China. Today it is celerated some what in most of Thailand but nothing like in Chiang Mai. The dates are April 12 - 15 each year. Most people in other countries think of Songkran as a chance to throw water on each other but it is much more than that for the northern Thai people. You can read about Songkran, the rituals, festivities and what it all means. You can also view the short streaming video of the Songkran Festival Parade and the biggest water fight on the planet.
