FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS

YEE PENG FESTIVAL  (FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS)

It's November and Blaze and me went to the North of Thailand where people celebrate a Festival of Lights.

At night we could see fireworks and how people were throwing paper lanterns illuminated to the sky.

At the same time, they made a wish.

It was amazing because all the sky was full of thousands of illuminated lanterns like stars.
