Ping Fai Festival – Chiang Mai

The Ping Fai Festival happens December 20th through the 29th in Chiang Mai in One Nimman Think Park. It is sponsored by the Weave Artisan Society, and runs from 4pm until midnight.

“The festival has a theme ‘The Barn’ and is on every day, 4pm until midnight.  There is a ‘Fin Market’ with over 100 stalls showcasing food, clothes, souvenirs, arts and crafts. Live music every night at One Nimman and on the 24th of December there is a special concert with ‘Pause’ starting at 10pm. “ ~ City Now – What’s On in Chiang Mai.

Brian and I may see a small part of this amazing celebration. We are both averse to large crowds, events at night, and loud music – plus this time of the year is the heaviest tourist season. It will also be getting uncomfortably cold starting right when the even starts each day. We may see what is happening right at opening one day while it is still light.
