Lantern festival takes place in Thailand

During the night of the festival, people gather by the banks of the Peng River and release hundreds of thousands of colorful lanterns into the sky, then watch them float away in the gentle evening breeze.

On this occasion, residents and tourists of the land of Golden Pagodas all hope the flying lanterns will get rid of bad luck and bring them good fortune. This lantern festival is considered one of the best festivals in Thailand.
