In Loy Krathong, a lotus-shaped basket with candles and flowers is released in the river. 

So if you are in Thailand during November then you should visit Chaing Mai. You will be surprised by watching so many lanterns in the sky. 

But yes this time you will see much crowed in Chiang Mai. And the hotel will be a little expansive. 

These lanterns are made of thin rice paper with a fire starter attached. When you fire the lantern it creates hot air and that leads to fly off this thin paper lantern. 

Thai people believe that during the time of Yi Peng Festival the moon is full, brightest and river are filled fully. Make a wish while releasing your Lantern in the sky. 

During this festival, the market and homes in Chiang Mai are decorated with colorful lanterns. 

Releasing the lanterns in the sky means, leaving your all misfortune and bad habits in the previous year. So many people believe that, when you make a wish during releasing your lantern, it will come true.
