Offered in: English

Step into a lantern festival most travelers never see—one created by locals, not crowds, and built on giving back. At Wat Champa Lao, every moment supports the community, with part of your visit funding local temples and schools. You’ll craft your own Krathong, write wishes on a Lanna lantern and hang it, and explore the temple grounds alongside villagers, students, and monks. A Thai buffet and traditional performances create a warm, welcoming atmosphere before the evening ends with a shared sky lantern release. Choose to meet directly at the temple or join the option with transfers from the city. Perfect for couples, families, solo travelers, and groups, this experience proves that the more you give to a community, the more happiness you take home—long after the lanterns fade.

    Experience Yi Peng in a meaningful, community-focused way at Wat Champa Lao. You’ll step into a welcoming village where locals share their traditions with you. From crafting your own Krathong to releasing sky lanterns together, each activity fosters connection—and part of the proceeds, after expenses, supports local temples and schools. Your experience begins with a homemade Thai lunch and an introduction to local customs. A guide leads you through making your own Krathong, explore the temple, meet locals and monks, and prepare your lanterns with written wishes. As evening falls, enjoy a Thai dinner buffet with herbal drinks while traditional Lanna student performances take the stage. Candle-lighting and prayers lead into the shared lantern release, followed by a peaceful moment floating your Krathong on the river. Whether you meet directly at the temple or select the transfer option from the city, you’ll carry the memory with you long after the light from the lanterns fades.
