Chiang Mai's Loy Krathong and Yi Peng Festivals: A Spectacular Display of Thai Traditions

This is a great video and channel. I love traveling via motorcycle to!! I'm here in Chiang Mai for the festival and was wondering if you could direct us to the location where you rented the boat and driver? Khop Khun Krap 🙏🏾

[@BobSchiff]
