Brian is researching to see if we can go somewhere this evening where I can see some lanterns without getting in the middle of the huge crowd in the dark at the river. I would love to get the flavor of the celebration, but from a distance.
This is practiced at the river in Chiang Mai, as well as all over Thailand. I thought this clip showed the beautiful Krathongs people made and show them putting them in the water for the celebration.
I love the idea of letting go of bad things that happened this year, letting go of bad feelings you might have for any reason, shedding regret over things you did – or didn’t – do, and more, replacing all with embracing a clean slate, a brand new year with the promise of a better year to come. The beautiful ceremonies unite the people in their strong belief. Really wonderful!

I’m with you, Linda. I’d love to see it in person too, but from a distance. I love the whole “letting go” process too, though it can still be emotional.

I LOVE the video. It’s all Halloween should be – kids trick or treating, a wonderfully decorated home with welcoming people inside to distribute treats. Great job, Sheila!👻🎃💀
