loy krathon festival

I went to the thai temple to check out the loy krathong festival. People launch lotus shaped vessels (krathong) in the palm river to wash away their bad luck. Prior to launching they light the candle and incense and make a wish. It is considered good luck if the krathong floats away from them. To find out more about the temple click here.

I tried to take some pics but most came out blurry. Surprisingly, its hard to take photos at night. I'll post the few pics that came out ok.
