I never know about the bad thing of counthing them. But there is agreement between people and airline about the time of floating the balloon. In some certime period of day, the floating would be prohibited.
Airlines also reschedule some flight to avoid flying over the sky fulled of lantern.
We have this only maximum 3 days a year so everybody try to work it out.
If you have been there you will learn that lantern is not yet the biggest problem but firework is!
what happens to them when they burn out?"Not a lot they just fallto the ground I live not far from this site in Mae Rim they not only let these balloons off at Loy Kratong but New Year etc. any major road has pick up trucks parked selling these balloons they are made out pf paper the heating is done with a sort of firelighter you hold them down till they are hot enough to take off then you light the fuse on the firecrackers. Good fun
what happens to them when they burn out? id love to try that but im not sure of the reprocussions. like could i get in trouble for it? haha my girlfriend is bummed out so i want to let one up with her-to offer her troubles, the same way Thai people do (sorry if thats not how you describe them) but i dont want things to go from bad to worse lol
absolutely tingling ,a sea of lights.Imagine how it would have looked from Hermits Mountain.I honeymooned n to s.Thailand Oct'01. Thank you Thai people for letting us into your culture with open arms during your festival.
That was really beautiful. Wish I was really there. Great job with the video you captured the spectacle very well. Keep showing how beautiful Thailand can really be.
amazing, cool ..
