This weekend was the Yee Peng Floating Lantern Ceremony in northern Thailand, an event celebrating the Buddha. During the festivities, chanting monks and devotees release hundreds of white paper lanterns into the air, creating a magical, reverent atmosphere looking like a starry, jellyfish-filled sea.
Christine Gilbert, an ex-fortune 500 manager-cum-full-time traveler and author of almostfearless.com, was there to witness and expertly film the event.
