We happened to be in time for the annual festival celebrating the twelfth full moon, & the end of the rainy season. We participated in a ceremony where everyone floats a lighted candle & burning incense down the river on top of elaborately woven flower baskets that do not sink! The Thai people do this to release all troubles of the past year and welcome the good things to come. Our lighted flower basket floats down stream as part of the celebration. |
