We went down to the Ping River
in Chiang Mai Thailand for the
Loi Krathong Festival around
dusk. We purchased food from
vendors a waited for it to get
dark. More and more people
arrived to float krathongs and
shoot fireworks. We left
around 9 PM as it was getting
too crazy with people and
fireworks. The water parade
starts around 10PM, The Land
parade starts around 6:30 on
the road next to the river.
Next year we will video the
land parade. We went home and
toured our neighborhood, lit
candles, launched Khome Loi
ate and drank with our Thai
neighbors.
