Chiang Mai Loy Krathong

After 9h bus drive we arrived in Chiang Mai and were able to see the Loy krathong light festival.

[You celebrate this festival usual with lanterns and all your bad things fly away with this action. In the past they celebrated the ending of the raining season with it;
To secure the airspace for planes and not wasting plastic, they tried out a new option: the bad thing go away with throwing a candle with decorations inside into the river.]

It was a very nice evening with Aaron and Antonia, we saw a parade as well as went to the river and saw there a fireworks. I also bought a candle with deco, that all bad things of myself should fly away 🤗💪🏽 at the last day I was also able to see a light show at the river as well as a firework nearby a parade with very nice wagons.

It was amazing to see this festival at Chiang Mai. Everything was so nice decorated and I really enjoyed the vibes!

I also did some temple sightseeing with Aaron and Antonia with renting a scooter💪🏽. Now Aaron, Antonia and myself booked a tour to an elephant sanctuary, which I am really looking forward to!

It is also impressive, that the “old town” of Chang Mai is surrounded by a mason and a river. [they said how the Chinese did to defend a invasion)
