Join us at the Huai Lan Reservoir in San Kamphaeng, Chiang Mai, for the vibrant and explosive Bang Fai Rocket Festival 2025, filmed on Sunday 6 July. This annual event, deeply rooted in tradition, celebrates the arrival of the rainy season with spectacular homemade rockets (bang fai) launched high into the sky.

In this video, experience the sights and sounds of the festival:
• Long bamboo launch gantry towering over the crowds
• Teams preparing massive rockets packed with black powder
• Thundering launches as rockets roar skyward in clouds of smoke
• Local music, dance, and cultural performances
• The joy and community spirit of an age-old agricultural celebration

The Bang Fai Festival is more than just a fireworks display — it’s a fusion of spiritual tradition, local engineering, and festive competition, calling for rain, good harvests, and continued prosperity.

Filmed entirely at Huai Lan Reservoir, this footage captures the essence of northern Thailand’s devotion to ritual, rain, and revelry. 🌧️🚀
