I was here on 4-Nov-2025 It still beautiful in my mind Video : on 4-Nov by me Photo : on 3-Nov from Facebook ****** Quoted ******* Details of the opening event of Loy Krathong Festival in Chiang Mai were recently officially announced. 📆 3 November 2025 🔥Tens of thousands of traditional Lanna clay lamps will be lit around the old city moat and at Three Kings monument honoring the Buddha, paying respect to the river goddess, and marking the beginning of the Yi Peng Festival. ✨ A grand procession from Tha Pae Gate with over 500 performers, and more than 30,000 lanterns illuminating the night.

First a bit of history - Chiang Mai was founded by King Mengrai in 1296 and designed as a square, walled, and moated city, entirely contained within the moat-and-wall perimeter. This area, now known as the Old City, served as the capital of the Lanna Kingdom. The area was completely surrounded by a massive, tall brick wall, with the moat as a defensive barrier against threats. While most of the city walls have disappeared, the moat remains, and the area within is still considered the "Old City" or historical center of Chiang Mai. At each corner there are the remains of a fort or bastion that may be of interest to tourists that are interested in history of this area. They can be viewed from outside the old city or from inside, but be careful of traffic you're doing this. You are not allowed to climb on the bastions or parts of the old wall. The bastion's are lit up at night and are far more attractive to photograph than. Jaemg Hua Lin Is the bastion at the North Western corner. There is a nice spirit house on the inside of this corner.

A remnant of north west corner of the fortification of Chiang Mai. Hua Lin Corner, a historical remnant of the ancient wall that once surrounded the city. Located on the northwestern edge of the Old City, this section is a ruin of the defensive wall and moat system built over 700 years ago to protect the Lanna Kingdom.
