What Goes Up Must Come Down

Sunday Night was also the first night of one of Thailand's most beautiful festivals - Loy Krathong. The festival celebrates the conclusion of the rainy season. Some of the features include floating krathong's down the river and also lighting some mini hot air balloon kind of things.

So I cruised into Old Town very late to meet Marissa and Paul before we toured the walking night street market. The old wall, the gates and the moat looked absolutely incredible, lit up with floating candles every half a metre. Took some pictures by Tap Gae Gate, watched the hot air balloon thingys and then cruised through the nightmarkets eating Pad Thai, corn on the cob, pineapple, coconut shakes and all kinds of crazy things. There were also some of the most incredible paintings, jewellry and photography. Sadly I don't have a house to decorate.

Then we cruised back to Soi 3 and set off our own hot air balloon thingys. Mind crashed and burned in Soi 3 but the other one took off, flew for a while and then crashed into a nearby street.
