Chiang Mai officially unveils “Chiang Mai Voyage of Light 2026” (CMVOL 2026)—a new premium cultural festival that aims to position Doi Saket as Chiang Mai’s next cultural destination for international travelers.

Inspired by the story of the Tai Lue heritage, the project reimagines the traditional Yi Peng celebration through authentic Lanna culture, local craftsmanship, faith, and sustainability. From hand-spun cotton transformed into ceremonial lamps to community participation and a zero-waste circular economy, every element is designed to preserve local traditions while creating meaningful benefits for the community.

Visitors will experience an immersive lantern festival on 24–25 November 2026, featuring a spectacular lantern release, traditional Lanna performances, Tai Lue cultural experiences, artisan workshops, local cuisine, and eco-friendly activities in the beautiful mountain setting of Doi Saket.

For golf enthusiasts, the exclusive CMVOL Golf Experience (23–26 November 2026) combines three championship golf courses with VIP festival access, offering a unique luxury holiday in Northern Thailand.

• Doi Saket, Chiang Mai
• Festival: 24–25 November 2026
