    Thailand's Amazing Lantern Festival

    Every year in Chiang Mai province, thousands of people gather to release paper lanterns into the night sky as part of the Yeepeng Lanna Festival. It's quite a sight to behold. It's also what inspired that lantern scene in Walt Disney's 'Tangled'!

    Time to light up

    Everyone is asked to co-ordinate the lighting of the lanterns

    Because the beauty lies in letting go at the same time

    Which is quite the spectale!

    This is the widest photo taken

    Where these lanterns end up... only the wind knows

    Until next year...
