Step into Yi Peng as a welcomed guest, not a spectator. At Wat Champa Lao, you’re invited into a genuine community celebration. Locals, students, and monks encourage you to craft your own Krathong, release lanterns together, and join traditions your visit helps sustain. A portion of the proceeds supports nearby temples and schools. Your afternoon begins with a homemade Thai lunch and an introduction to local customs. You’ll create your own Krathong, explore the temple grounds, meet locals, and write wishes on your lanterns. As evening arrives, enjoy a Thai buffet dinner with herbal drinks while Lanna dancers and students perform. Candle-lighting and prayers lead into the lantern release, with nearly 100 lights rising into the night sky. The night concludes with floating your Krathong at the river. Whether you meet at the temple or join with transfers, you leave with the quiet joy of being included—carrying a memory that stays long after the lantern light fades.
