let there be light

We planned our trips dates to coincide with the Loy Krathong festival.  During the festival thousands of lanterns are released into the sky. The lanterns are released into the sky to pay homage to the god of water.  To show gratitude for the gift and apologize for the abuse. When you release the lantern you also send up your wishes. Breathtaking, moving, beautiful,  surreal, amazing are words that come to mind.  I hope to never forget what is was like to witness this event.   This was our first day in thailand.
