VRtravelX

Experience Thailand’s most magical light celebration with VRtravelX – the Yi Peng Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai. Surrounded by thousands of floating sky lanterns, you become part of a sacred moment that has been celebrated for centuries. Each lantern symbolizes the release of worries, guilt, and anything weighing you down. The sky turns into a soft, glowing ocean of light that touches something deep inside.

With VRtravelX, you’ll join one of Southeast Asia’s most meaningful Buddhist festivals – no flight required, just full emotional presence. Feel the quiet hum of the crowd, watch as the lanterns rise, carrying hopes and transformations into the night sky. The festival blends ancient Lanna tradition with modern wonder, attracting travelers from around the world to Chiang Mai every year.

VRtravelX places you right in the heart of it – eye level with the lanterns, surrounded by awe-struck faces, carried by the calm pull of silence. No video, no photo, no documentary can capture this kind of magic – but VR lets you live it. Let yourself drift into the ritual’s power, the beauty of light, and the softness of night. A journey between earth and sky.

Papier-mâché fireflies over Chiang Mai

I have never been to Thailand, and I have never seen the Yi Peng Lantern Festival in Chiang Mai in real life. So this was an unbiased VR experience for me — and afterwards I even learned more about the festival. The feeling was quite special: standing among people with lanterns and watching these simple, beautiful papier-mâché fireflies rise into the sky, becoming distant stars for a short moment. When the fireworks started, I had a funny thought: “Are they going to shoot down these beautiful fireflies?” Joking — partly. After a while, one lantern actually seemed to be “hit” and drifted down gracefully. A stunning and memorable VR experience.

I found the quality to be poor and out of focus which spoilt the viewing
