Yi Peng Festival At Sansai/mae Joe - Info Needed....

[foxydancer]

Hi,

I would like to go to Yi Peng this year - does anyone know the exact date? I understand its sometime a week before Loy Krathong....

I am not really familiar with Chiang Mai - how easy would it be to get there without my own transport - taxi/tuk tuk is ok - any practical advice would be appreciated!!!!

Thanks in advance,

FD

It's a bit out of town - approximately 15 kilometers from town central. It really depends upon where you are staying. Taxis go out there (much better than a tuktuk IMO) and the cost would be minimal. I would think the best choice would be to rent a motorcycle and go. As for when it occurs - Nov. 1 - 3. Check out http://www.tourismthailand.org.sg/event/ch...g-festival-2009.
