Lantern Festival on Koh Samoi

We were already disturbed by booming bass in the morning. What was happening in our little idyll? Ah, full moon party?

In the darkness, the Tais sent out small banana leaf boats adorned with flowers, incense sticks, and a candle onto the sea, or placed the boats in the river mouth. The further they are carried out, the more luck is brought to the house. This year it was completely calm, unlike last year, the employees reported. We saw the many lights floating out at sea for a long time.

Next door, the Tais celebrated for a long time, with music and dance and a lot of hubbub.
