Chiang Mai Christmas Kites

From balloons to kites, it seems that there’s no shortage of floating spectacles in Chiang Mai this December. Head out to the sheep fields on the edge of Mae Rim and spend an afternoon admiring the wacky and wonderful kite wonderland, with over 30 kites of varying designs, sizes and themes being flown in the (hopefully) strong winter-season breeze. Take photos at their pop-up snowscape, be dwarfed by the model lanterns and fill your bellies with food trucks and market stalls. Live music and beer included. Dec 21-23. Free. Nern Noom Cafe. 4-11pm.
