On the full moon of the 12th month in the Thai lunar calendar, millions of Thai take part in ancient annual festivities on 5 November. Many head to waterways to release krathong loaded with candles, flowers and incense, with the intention of letting misfortune float away along rivers and canals. In tandem, lanterns are released into the night sky with the belief that bad luck will fly away. The Yi Peng festival in Chiang Mai coincides with the Loy Krathong festival, where monks release floating lanterns at Lanna Dhutanka temple, creating illuminated rivers and skies during the celebrations.
