What is Yi Peng?

Yi Peng is the Lanna (northern Thai) festival of the full moon of the second Lanna month – the 12th Thai lunar month. People release khom loi sky lanterns to let go of bad luck and make a wish, and float krathong baskets on the water to thank the water goddess. It is held together with Loy Krathong.
