Here in North Thailand the Loi Krathong Festival is much different than
anywhere in the Kingdom. In the small town of Mae Jo north of Chiang Mai they
started the festival on Saturday night by launching
hot air balloons called "Khom Loy".
I went with my wife and friends and took this short video.
We are not talking about a few Khom Loy but thousands upon thousands all at the same time.

Loi Krathong is a special event for the Northern Thai people. It originated in Sukhothai
and spread north and east. The other parts of Thailand celebrate this festival but nothing like in Chiang Mai.
Here
is the video.
We went down to the Ping River in Chiang Mai Thailand for the Loi Krathong Festival around dusk. We purchased food from
vendors a waited for it to get dark. More and more people arrived to float krathongs and shoot fireworks. We left around
9 PM as it was getting too crazy with people and fireworks. The water parade starts around 10PM, The Land parade starts
around 6:30 on the road next to the river. Next year we will video the land parade. We went home and toured our neighborhood,
lit candles, launched Khome Loi ate and drank with our Thai neighbors.
Here is a
video of the Chiang Mai Night Safari. We went early to see some of the animals before dark on the Jackel
Trail around the Lake. We then visited the resort there and checked out some of the rooms and bungalows. We took the Tram
on the night trails then watched the Lazer Lighted Fountain Show. I ran out of memory or I would have shot more video.
Here is a video of one of Chiang Mai's most popular Garden
Resort "Kristadoi". Our friends Sam amd Melissa had there wedding here. The money they saved on the cost of the wedding,
dress, catering etc. was enough to enjoy a nice honeymoon at a 5 Star Resort Spa in Phuket.
Most of the video is of the flower gardens but the wedding is beautiful.

Songkran or as it is now known as the Thai New Year started in Lanna
around 700 hundred years ago. Then the Lanna Kingdom comprised of North and Northeast Thailand, parts
of Laos, Burma and southern Yunnan Province China. Songkran today is still celebrated in these areas
except Burma where it has been banned by the military government there.
Songkran was not celebrated in the rest of Thailand until around the 1950’s. In Bangkok then most of
the workers, as today, came from the north or northeast part of Thailand. When Songkran came around, April 13 – 15,
most of the workers just left work and went to their villages for the New Year. For this reason the government and
most businesses had to shut down for Songkran. For this reason this is now an official holiday in Thailand.
The meaning of water during Songkran is very important. Pouring water on each other and Buddha statues is to wash away
the past and a cleansing for the future year. This started as just pouring water on the hands or on the shoulder of others
with a small cup of water. This has now grown into the largest water fight on the planet.
Here is a short streaming video of the festival over a two day period. The first day,
April 13, is the Songkran parade,
which takes place on Muangchareon and Thapae roads at 2 PM and lasts around 3 hours. We then hit the streets to join the
water fight mostly concentrated along the moat in the city center.
