heybruce Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 The title says it all. Clearly there wasn't the big release of thousands of lanterns, was there any ceremony at all? A friend asked me on behalf of some tourists and I didn't have an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naboo Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 No. It is operated by a huge marketing firm. This year they are only holding the paid event. No idea, nor interest, in when that is. It is likely sold out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaiLai Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 (edited) Let's not look down on those who see a money making opportunity in a religious celebration! At least they have avoided capitalizing on far more important celebrations like Christmas, the Easter Bunny, Guy Fawkes, D-Day and 911.

strabel23 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The lantern release is on the 25th which is today at 9:00 P.M. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/%E0%B8%98%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%96%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%A5%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B2+%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B3%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%A0%E0%B8%AD+%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B1%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A2+%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%B5%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%87%E0%B9%83%E0%B8%AB%E0%B8%A1%E0%B9%88+Thailand/Soi+Phra+Pok+Klao+12,+Amphoe+Mueang+Chiang+Mai,+Chang+Wat+Chiang+Mai+50200,+Thailand/@18.910938,99.013139,14z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x30da232d2627caad:0x3cae048a5260e84c!2m2!1d99.0135941!2d18.911916!1m5!1m1!1s0x30da3a98f68e44c9:0x926b75f2f39ef796!2m2!1d98.9889875!2d18.7894269!3e0?hl=en-CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustwest Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 And it's a paid event at Mae Jo $100-300 USD per person. We will release our 9 in front of house. Plus big rockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heybruce Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 If I interpret this correctly, the free event did not happen, while the paid event is this evening. I've never been to the paid event, has anyone on this forum been there? It has been remarkably poorly advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglechef Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Live in the area, saw a steady stream of lanterns floating above the site when I looked around 8 - 8:30 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
