Every November Thailand celebrates Loi Kratong, a giving of thanks to the water gods. The rivers are dancing with flower kratongs, and the skies are lit up with floating lanterns. It is traditional to make a wish upon the release of your floating lantern and kratongs. Several thousand people gathered at one Buddhist Temple, and in unison released their lanterns, all with a wish for world peace.
