Yi peng lantern festival takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar. In the western calendar this usually falls in November. This festival is also called festival of lights. Also it is the oldest festival in Thailand. The highlight of this festival is flying lanterns and floating lanterns on the river which is Loi Krathong. Some people put their hairs and nails in Krathong hoping their bad lucks are gone. Loi means float and Krathong means lantern shaped in lotus in Thai.
People floating lanterns on the fiver. They wish when they float the lanterns. If the candle doesn't turn off and goes far away, then wish might come true. :)
I heard that the atmosphere of this festival is very peaceful and lyrical contrasts to other festivals. And I found a really beautiful video. People fly their lanterns into the sky.
Look at this video. This is really beautiful.
If you want to feel like you were in the fairy tale, I would recommend to go this festival.
I think this is super beautiful.
