Chiang Rai Balloon Festival 2018
We decided last minute to go to the Chiang Rai balloon festival, held in the Singha park. Chiang Rai is about a 3 hour drive North of Chiang Mai, through several national parks (Si Lanna, Doi Luang, Khun Chae). It’s a lovely drive through rural, wild, green vegetation interspersed with little Thai towns and markets. Getting to the balloon festival The festival started at 4pm. We arrived early and there wasn’t much open, which we should’ve known – nothing happens…
