Last night we went to the celebration of the water festival, or "Loy Krathong" it’s a huge festival that pays respect, and apologizes to the water for polluting it by sending out small boats with candles made of Styrofoam that literally pollute the water, it’s a little ironic. There was a large fireworks show, which ended with a concert and the lighting of hundreds of balloons made of rice paper. There are many different concerts and most Thai people take the event very seriously, others use it as an excuse to get very drunk.
