Traditionally, the release of these lanterns was a northern Thai tradition, but the practice has since expanded to other parts of Thailand. From the beaches of Ko Samui to the northern hills of Chiang Mai, the sight of khom loy rising against the night sky can be a beguiling spectacle. The lanterns are particularly associated with the Loy Krathong festival, but may also be seen during New Year celebrations in Thailand and at various other commemorative events during the year. Once of the most poignant use of these lanterns occurred on the first anniversary of the Indian Ocean tsunami when over 5,000 khom loy were released for each of the people who lost their lives in Thailand.
it’s just quite obvious that it becomes crowded with people because of how awesome it may become!
