In November, people in Northern Thailand celebrate Loy Krathong - a festival during the full moon in which people honor the river running through the city.Explosions echo through the streets as people light colorful fireworks, firecrackers, and cherrybombs from the bridges.
Below, people float colorful krathong rafts with candles and incense down the Ping river. This tradition is meant to wash away the bad of the past year and welcome good in the future.
During this three-day festival, hundreds of rice paper lanterns - comb loy - are lit with bright flames and are released floating into the sky, soaring towards the full moon.
