7pm to 1am?  Hardly a restriction ????

So hardly any flights and they still want to restrict lanterns.

Would have thought now would be the perfect time to let them go.

Around 30 arrivals and departures in that time.

Chiang Mai used to have a fantastic Loy Krathong but all I hear in these difficult times with extremely limited tourism revenue is no no no and no promotion.

The only colour add I have seen is "don't don't don't" (see picture) where as Sukhothai (so picture).

Poor, very poor I think.
