In addition to floating krathongs, we also released 2 hot air balloons. This was truly an amazing sight that pictures could not capture (well at least not with my camera)! While we were eating dinner we noticed that the sky was filled with floating lights. It was beautiful! After dinner, we walked down to the beach and found Thais (mostly children) selling these balloons. Once we decided on a price, they helped us light the flammable piece and we held the outer part of the bag and waited (fingers getting hot ;-)). When there was enough hot air inside the bag, we released our bag, now a balloon, into the air! It was truly amazing to see thousands of these lights floating by.
