Which is a better choice, celebrating the Lao New Year in Luang Prabang, or Thai New Year in Chiang Mai?
I will be in Luang Prabang in April, originally I am planning on leaving Luang Prabang on the 11th, and flying to Chiang Mai for the Songkran festival. However the Lao New Year(sorry I forget how to spell it) sounds extremely intriguing, the more I read about it. But then again, I really doubt I will be disappointed by the Songkran in Chiang Mai. So anyway since its a little while away I can still change plans so I was wondering which celebration would you prefer to go to?
I would personally go to Songkran (Thai New Year) in Chiang Mai because it is the best location in Thailand to do Songkran (festivities generally last a week in Chiang Mai). While I am sure Luang Prabang has a similar New Year Festival to Thai New Year, it will be a much larger party in Chiang Mai.
