-We recommend booking your accommodation in Chiang Mai in advance.

-The places where it takes place are full of people so it is advisable to arrive around 3 or 4 pm (two or three hours before) to get a good place.

-Have your paper lantern ready: Try to get a streetlight as soon as you arrive. There are people distributing from the beginning. Also be prepared and bring a lighter and a marker to write your wishes.

-Do not buy lamps from external suppliers since generally the flashlights did not pass safety standards. Avoid buying plastic ones and only buy those made of recyclable materials.

-Respect the customs of the local people.

-If you want to enjoy the festival as a local, the busiest area is the Nawarat Bridge and around the Ping River. There you can share this experience with other travelers and locals.
