There is a baloon festival starting feb 10 in Singha Park

I believe this is 11 km away from the town centre.

Is it something like hot air balloon ?

Can anyone pay to fly up ?

I've looked at a couple of sites but they don't mention the public being offered balloon rides.

Maybe the best option would be to approach individual balloon owners personally.

I thought I saw something about individual rides. Anyway here is there FaceBook Page. Feel free to use the translation function but be warned it is not great.
