The Inspiration for Rapunzel is the Thai Yi Peng Festival *

The inspiration for Rapunzel comes from the Yi Peng Festival, which is held once a year in Thailand. *However, the venue for the Yi Peng Festival is far from the airport, making it very difficult to get there by yourself... Furthermore, the popular Yi Peng tour in Japan is very expensive and tends to sell out quickly.*
