wishing lanterns

In Bangkok during Loi Krathong, as well as floating colourful krathongs into ponds and rivers, many Thais sent their wishes for the coming year skyward, much to the chagrin of local police. Perhaps they thought such festivities should be reserved for Yi Peng in Changmai? Or perhaps their enthusiastic dousing of people's firey wishes was out of respect for a recently passed religious figure. Still. Some wishes got away!
