The first will be a world record attempt in Chiang Mai on March 8 when 14 weddings will be registered aboard 14 hot air balloons drifting slowly above the city. The lucky couples, from all over the world, have been specially selected to participate in the "Viva Valentine Weddings in the Air" event.

The balloon wedding flight will act as a prelude to the second major event - The Chiang Mai International Heritage Festival. This is a three-day spectacular from March 7-9 held at Lanna Polytechnical College, next to Lanna Hospital

The Grand Opening ceremony will take place in the early evening of March 8. The festival's highlight will be an international section created by members of the foreign community featuring attractive displays and native products, as well as amateur performances of songs, dances and other forms of entertainment reflecting their home country. There will also be a wide variety of local sights and sounds, including some of Thailand's top showbiz personalities. Visitors will be able to enjoy a global presentation of traditions, national dress, music, handicrafts, and cuisine in an ambiance designed to promote goodwill between nations and to increase trade and boost tourism.
