Every night down our road since we got back from Lao we could hear Fireworks see the occasional Lantern and general partying going on.
The Peak of the event is the last day of the full moon, we went to a temple with the open room family to set off a few lanterns.
Loygatong is a festival in which Buddist people pay respect to the Gods of different elements, so we headed down to the water and set off fire lanterns.
Were still not really sure why there were so many statues of Cock's around, but apparently the king used to like cock fighting so that might be the reason?
The king himself
3 massive cocks?
Beautiful Lilies on the water.
Before setting off the lanterns you have to light the bottom and wait for the paper lantern to fill up with hot air.
It's really fun and everyone gets involved.
One of the Lanterns didn't quite make it off the ground but the other two flew off wonderfully.
Friends from the Preservation club.
Turtle in a bag (don't worry we set him free)
Fireworks everywhere.
Can you spot 'The Defiant Cock'
We ended the night with one of these delicious beverages, icy syrupy treat.
Peace
