Thai Loi Krathong Festival Candles Bangkok Night in at a public square during a festival in Bangkok

Thai Loi Krathong Festival Candles Bangkok Night

by Vanessa Norton

Dark water fills a public square in Bangkok, hosting numerous lotus-shaped krathongs adorned with lit candles and jasmine flowers. The heavy overcast sky diffuses the starlight, casting a soft, grey luminescence over the scene. Faint ground glow from distant street lamps reflects off the rippling surface, illuminating the warm orange flames of the candles. The cool season air is suggested by the stillness of the water and the quiet arrangement of floating baskets. Layers of depth extend from the foreground krathongs to the blurred silhouettes of onlookers and temple spires in the distance. A small ripple disturbs the water's surface near a floating basket, scattering the candlelight into fragmented shards of gold against the dark liquid.
