Happy Loi Krathong



(That's Thai for light stuff on fire and launch it into the night sky)




First, you light the all-paper lantern with a lighter (and your bare hands)



Then you hold the giant luminaire/hot air balloon/firework (with your bare hands)


Like so



Until it gets so hot that someone lets go. . .

and it floats up. . .
up. . .
and away! 
Thailand twinkle lights.
