Fireworks spectacle in Chiang Mai

Published on November 6, 2010

A major fireworks display will be staged at New Year in Chiang Mai to honour His Majesty the King's 84th birthday late next year.

Governor ML Panadda Disakul said Saturday the Defence Ministry had chosen the northern city for the third such event, which will be staged from the night of December 31 till January 1 at Chiang Mai's 700th Anniversary sports complex.

He said the fireworks would be fired higher than others staged in the world and the event would be the longest ever put on.

The complex had a capacity for up to 10,000 spectators, and anyone interested could watch the event free of charge.

An international firework competition with contestants from China, Denmark, Australia and US would be part of the spectacle.

The first major firework event was held at Impact Arena Muang Thong Thani in Nonthaburi and the second staged in Pattaya, Chon Buri.
