EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the enchanting scene of Thais gathering to release floating lanterns at Homage to the Lord Buddha during the Yee Peng festival in Chiang Mai. The date is November 12,2005, and locals from all over the region have come together to partake in this deeply religious event. The annual Yee Peng festival holds great significance as a time for making merit and engaging in various religious activities. However, it is the launching of "Khom loy" or floating lanterns, into the night sky that steals the spotlight. As each lantern ascends higher and higher, there is a collective belief that misfortune will be carried away with them. The atmosphere surrounding this momentous occasion is filled with awe and reverence. The warm glow of countless flickering lights illuminates both faces and hearts alike. It's as if worries are momentarily suspended in mid-air while hopes soar high above. Photographer Sukree Sukplang skillfully captures this magical spectacle through his lens. His composition allows us to immerse ourselves fully in this extraordinary experience – witnessing Thais coming together under a starry sky adorned with vibrant specks of light. This image serves as a reminder of our shared humanity and our universal desire for peace and prosperity. It encapsulates not only a cultural tradition but also an expression of faith, unity, and hope for brighter days ahead.
