My partner and I will be in Chiang Mai this November, which also happens to fall during the Yi Peng Lantern Festival.
I found tickets to an event at a cultural center just outside of Chiang Mai, which comes with seating and our own lanterns to light and release. (Link: [https://yipengchiangmailanternfestival.com/](https://yipengchiangmailanternfestival.com/)). Is this type of thing worth going if the cheapest tickets are \~$120 USD? Or is it better to walk around the city with the crowds to celebrate? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
