Forgot to say..

I think it's mainly a Thai festival, but a lot of Burmese people come over from Burma to join the festival. The idea of the little rafts with candles and the hot air balloons is that you send away all the negative things in you life with it as it floats down the river/into the sky. Some people also put a little money and something inside for whoever finds it. It's a beautiful festival and it was extraordinary to be able to see it.

  1. Murray raved about it and tried to get me to do it with another primary school on Edinburgh's canal. I can see why but I am glad I said no! Better in Mae Sot I think.
