Loy Krathong and Yi Peng take place annually on the full moon of the twelfth month on the Thai lunar calendar... which falls in September for us. It used to be for paying respect to the spirit of the waters.. but now its just for fun!!
The whole group was there, which never happens... All of the girls, Tang (our native coordinator), Ake, and we even had and ILP director out visiting us. Haven't been around this many english speakers in a long time!
If you have ever seen "Tangled," it has the lantern scenes.. that is exactly what it is like in real life!
