Other than this grand feast, you will also be in awe of the music, people on monkey costumes, dance and also monkey sculptures. So if you love to take pictures, then you will have good shots for your collection.
YEE PENG LANTERN FESTIVAL, THAILAND (November 23, 2018)
Have you ever watched Disney's animated movie 'Tangled?' Do you want to feel the happiness Rapunzel felt when she found the floating lights? If you do, then you have to visit Thailand soon and be able to witness Yee Peng Lantern Festival yourself. The feast is usually celebrated during a full moon in Chiang Mai, which is located in the northern part of Thailand. The locals believe that during this time, "rivers are filled to their fullest and the moon is at its brightest - the perfect time to 'make merit' and ... make a wish for good fortune in the new year," according to Bangkok.com. During the festival, the night sky will be lighted up with floating paper lanterns, which symbolizes letting go of misfortunes and bad luck that happened the previous year.
There are a lot of beautiful places our world has to offer. And some of those that are best to visit in Thailand. Filled with nice people, good food, lovely views, ancient structures, and colorful culture, Thailand is extremely one of a kind.
