Yi Peng releases thousands of paper lanterns over Chiang Mai each November, on the full moon of the second month of the Lanna lunar calendar (the twelfth of the Thai one). Flights in and out are restricted for the duration, for obvious reasons.
The clock: Chiang Mai keeps UTC+7. It was capital of the Lanna kingdom from 1296; Burma conquered it in 1558, Siam took it over in the 1770s and annexed it outright in 1899.
Chiang Mai lies at 99.0°E. Its time zone, UTC+7, is built around the 105°E meridian. The 6.0° gap between them means the clock runs roughly 24 minutes ahead of the sun: solar noon arrives at about 12:24 rather than 12:00. The zone holds UTC+7 all year — there is no daylight saving here.
The longest day of 2026 is 22 June, with 13h 16m of daylight. The shortest is 22 December, with 11h. The swing between them is 2h 16m. Inside the tropics the day length stays within a narrow band all year.
The earliest sunrise and the latest sunset do not land on the longest day. In Chiang Mai the sun comes up earliest on 6 June at 05:46, while the latest sunset waits until 7 July at 19:05. The equation of time is what separates them: the Earth's elliptical orbit and axial tilt move solar noon back and forth by several minutes over the year.
The sky stays usably light for a while after the sun goes down. In Chiang Mai that civil twilight runs about 22 minutes at the equinox.
