Thailand's Lantern Festival - a beautiful DISASTER (4K)

Once a year, thousands of people gather in Chiang Mai Thailand to experience the lantern festival known as Loy Krathong & Yi Peng. Having seen the festival highlights on Instagram, I wanted to see if it lived up to the hype and the truth was shocking. This trip was all filmed on the Nikon Z 6. It was my first time using this camera and it really impressed me on all fronts. From photography to film, this is one of the most powerful cameras for the money and you can learn more about the Z 6 here: bit.ly/37dxBNR
Next month I will post a deep dive review after using the Z6 over the past month. Thanks to Nikon for sponsoring today's video. Check them out @NikonUSA

    Thank you for the video Lost Leblanc, I was hoping that you would have included information and a link on the Z6 in the description, I do like that it does so well in lowlight and that a gimball isn't necessary for stabilization, plus the motion didn't have blurring :)

    I like how he try to be optimistic even if the travel has a lot of twist and turns not according to plan. Also, admire how he is candid to show the whole story of the trip and didn't cut all those tiny errors because most vloggers usually edited those parts to cover the flaw and also nice delivery of reviews from different things from time to time. So yup, new subscriber here.

    As I'm Thai, I want to say stop release sky lanterns! They can disrupt air travel, cause fires and become garbage. I saw on the news that many house fires because of sky lantern. There are campaigns about stop release sky lanterns as well. By the way, Thailand has many beautiful place. (many delicious street food too). Welcome you all to visit! :)
