    I did same thing in US two years ago. Still remember the scene and the ambience when thousands of lantern flying to the sky. loved it and thanks for bring that memory back to me.

      Nice! I didn't know they did anything like this in the US. I've been to one with the floating water lanterns in the US, but not the flying lanterns. How nice that you got to experience it!

    Wow, I planned to go to CM for Yi Peng festival in 2020 but I ended up going to Sukothai which is allegedly the original starting location for Loy Krathong. I think there is no such thing as a food shortage at any of these Thai events! Incredible to watch all the lanterns ascend into the night sky! I will be there in 2021.

    The lantern festival is so magical! We released sky lanterns in Taiwan and the first time ours went up in flames. It was quite scary because I thought I was going to burn my hands (and maybe it was a bad sign??) 😂 The music you paired with this vlog is perfect!

    This looks like an amazing event. Love how the food was served, so authentic! Always have a moral dilemma with lantern festivals as they look so so beautiful and love the thought behind it but the idea of the lantern remains just littering the environment seems bad. Noticed the poster you showed said this one was eco friendly, does that mean the lanterns burn entirely and leave no waste? The floating candles looked so pretty. Just heard you say they pick up the remnants so guessing there are some parts that fall.

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  Před 3 lety

      Yes, the whole lantern falls back down to the ground eventually. They do their best to pick up all the lanterns the next day and the ones they can't find are designed to degrade easily. It's by no means perfect system, but they do their best to be as responsible as possible in order to keep this tradition alive.

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  Před 3 lety

      No that’s per person! It’s definitely not cheap. It was still worth it though. Same price as a show in Vegas but you get dinner and to send a fireball into the air.

  • @Svenywhere
    @Svenywhere Před 3 lety

    The traditional start, then seeing them going up in the air looks lovely. Only I hope they all used bio friendly materials because that was a real issue in Taiwan. The iron rings just kept stuck in forests and damaged nature. But it looks great!

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  Před 3 lety

      The lanterns are advised as eco friendly, but who know what that really means. They do go out and pick up as many lanterns as they can find the next day though. The one's that they can't find are supposed to degrade quickly.

    Many innocent homes buildings and forest are burnt down every year because of these flying lanterns to relieve somebody's suffering.

    Hello! Id like to seek your advice. My mom and i are planning to go to the CAD lantern festival but unsure which ticket to get. Was it easy for you getting home after the event? Because i read and watched that even if they got the premier/vip tickets, they had a hard time going home and ended up in the red mini trucks instead of the airconditioned van they were in coming to the venue. So they suggest to get just the standard tickets. Thank you!

    • @LucasWorldTravel
      @LucasWorldTravel  Před 4 měsíci +1

      We got the standard tickets and didn’t have trouble getting home. I don’t have much experience with the VIP experience so I can’t really advise you on that. I believe VIP had more comfortable seating and better food as well though.
