Thai Lanterns Light Yee Peng Lit
Festivities aplenty in Asia, South East Asia seems to have the selection of the bundle. Not amazingly Thailand is the base of Thai Lanterns and are today advancing in popularity as they attain a larger audience.One Such Festival by the name of Yee Peng follows the Buddhist Calendar and translates to the twelfth lunar month. The Western Calendar usually finds this coming in November. Loy Krathong is what you will hear it referred to if you chance to be in other part of Thailand.Many customs are observed during this festival by the Thai masses.. My favorite activity is the releasing of ‘Thai Lanterns’ or ‘Khom Loy’. Following the Lanterns light the nightsky is a really magnificent vision to behold. It is viewed that as the lanterns vanish into th sky so too do your headaches.. The light is said to point people to a bright and fulfilled life. Bamboo frames with a Rice Paper shell is how these Thai Lanterns are built in a biodegradeable way.There has been a rise in the popularity (excuse the pun) and has even found the Royal Thai Air Force modify their air action and make warning to the airport to be cautious of potential risks should a lantern get lodged in a plane turbine.
