Thai Lanterns to Celebrate the Yee Peng Fest
Asia is constantly filled with festivities, South East Asia looks to have the pick of the crowd. Not surprisingly Thailand is the home of Thai Lanterns and are nowadays gaining in popularity as they hit a bigger audience.One Such Festival by the name of Yee Peng follows the Buddhist Calendar and translates to the twelfth lunar month. November is when this occurs if your waiting on a Western calendar. This Festival goes by the title of Loy Krathong throughout other splits of Thailand.The Thai people observe this religious festival and the traditions it implies. My favorite action is the freeing of ‘Thai Lanterns’ or ‘Khom Loy’. It is truly charming to honor the sky alight with these glowing globes. It is supposed that as the lanterns disappear into th sky so too do your headaches.. The light is said to lead people to a happy and complete life. I am not sure if westerners grasp the same notion but every year see’s many linking in on this fun event. The Thai Lanterns are biodegradable and are manufactured from Rice Paper and Bamboo for structure. There has been a rise in the popularity (excuse the pun) and has even found the Royal Thai Air Force change their air action and make warning to the airport to be cautious of prospective perils should a lantern get lodged in a aeroplane turbine.
