It's a long while since I heard of a Rocket Festival within reach of town.  one (Bang Fai Huay Lan) used to take place out near Mae On and I went a couple of times with friends from the Chiang Mai Photographic Group.  It was a good day out (if insanely dangerous at times) and I'd like to go again if it's still held in May.  Another location would be okay as long as it's less than a two hour drive from town.
Anyone know of a Rocket festival coming up this year?
