Loy Krathong Splendor at Wat Chedi Luang
Bathing in the moonlight, Wat Chedi Luang - one of Chiang Mai's most revered temples - played host to an unforgettable spectacle during Loy Krathong, the Thai 'Festival of Light'. The ancient temple, with its grandiose chedi, was the canvas for a vibrant performance that brought the festival's spirit alive.
As darkness fell, the temple's grounds filled with the soft glow of thousands of krathongs (floating lanterns) and the air was charged with an air of reverence and joy. The main event was a mesmerizing traditional dance performance, an ode to Thai culture, with dancers in traditional attire moving in harmony to the rhythm of the music.
The night sky then blazed with a spectacular laser light show, illuminating the historic chedi in a riot of colors. The fusion of tradition and technology created an enchanting spectacle, etching an indelible memory of Loy Krathong at Wat Chedi Luang.

A Day of Exploring in Chiang Mai, Thailand🇹🇭
Chiang Mai, Thailand🇹🇭
Itinerary:
• Woke up to sleeper train & put bags in hostel
• Went for breakfast at Sunday Bakery
• Visited Wat Chedi Luang Temple
• Shopped around Chiang Mai
• Had lunch at Gravity Cafe
• Went to visit the silver temple
• Had a beer
• Went to Chiang Mai Saturday Night Market
We woke up at 5am, on the turbulent sleeper train, to the sunrise in Chiang Mai. It was an experience that I am so grateful for.
We headed to the hostel and woowww, this hostel is so serene and beautiful - it truly lives up to its name:( @hiddengardenhostel ).
Our favourite adventures so far are the temples. Wat Chedi Luang was an incredible sight, originally beginning construction in the 14th century, the temple resembles ancient ruins.
We were shocked at how many good shops there were around Chiang Mai- lots being very modern, selling beautiful handmade items.
We visited the completely silver covered temple & then sat and had a Chang Classic beer, as we people watched at a local bar.
Finally, after a little rest at the hostel, we delved into Chiang Mai’s Saturday night market & had street food (I had mushroom vermicelli noodles & a banana, Nutella pancake) - what a brilliant day :)
