Ready to start the Khom Fai
In Thailand, sky lanterns known as khom loy or khom fai. The kids easily call them lupong fai.
Sky lanterns have been made for centuries in cultures around the world, to be launched for play or as part of long-established festivities. The name sky lantern is a translation of the Chinese name but they have also been referred to as sky candles or fire balloons.
When you release your lantern or krathong into a river or into the sky, you are supposed to wish all your problems and bad luck away with it as it is a symbol of new beginnings.
In Thailand its leagal to reliese the laterns on special holidays on special places.
