hey. i think i'll post in this thread too because that other one is just too massive.
i'm 26. i'll be arriving in bangkok on the 22nd. i've never heard of that festival, think it would be worth it to head to chiang mai for it right when i get there?

Loy Krathong is celebrated all over the country, but is considered to be particularly beautiful and somewhat more nostalgic in the north. If you are going to be up there anyway it would be a good place to catch it, but not sure I would recommend making a special trip to see it there.
Here's the wiki entry:
