This week was the festival Loi Krathong. This festival is known as the festival of lights. Throughout Thailand lanterns are lit and set off into the night sky. Little banana leaf boats, often with candles, are released on the river. There are parades and fireworks and people out on the streets celebrating.
I joined thousands of people at a local college to light and release the huge lanterns. You may have watched the movie Tangled and seen the lanterns they let go. In Loi Krathong however, they have lanterns that are about as tall as I am!
One more.
