only1 Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 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 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sceadugenga Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villagefarang Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) 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. There is also this link. http://www.chiangraitimes.com/?p=37430 Below is the copied text. "CHIANG RAI – Mr. Rungsrid Luxsitanonda, Senior Vice President Singha Corporation has reported that Singha Park Chiang Rai Balloon Fiesta 2016 will take place between February 10th and 14th at Singha Park Chiang Rai. Mr. Rungsrid Luxsitanonda, is inviting tourists to visit Chiang Rai province for the event. The grand opening ceremony is on 10th February and Competition flights will start thereafter and continue until February 14th.
