Silhouetted Loi Krathong Baskets at Chiang Mai Waterfront

by Sandra Peters

Golden hour light turns the Chao Phraya river into a sheet of molten copper behind rows of floating krathong baskets. From behind the crowd, the dark shapes of people holding their offerings stand stark against the bright horizon. The baskets, woven from banana leaves and topped with candles, glow as tiny points of fire before they drift onto the water. Cool season air leaves the sky a clear, deep blue above the temple spires of Old City. The water ripples gently, distorting the reflections of the floating lights into elongated streaks of amber. One candle flame flickers on the nearest basket, casting a sharp shadow against the palm fronds framing the left edge.
