Out with the old...


สวัสดีปีใหม
Sawatdee Bee Mai!
Happy New Year!

I went to Chiang Mai for the New Year (2008- to Thais, it's 2551). The picture shows many 'kamloi' or paper lanterns being sent into the sky on New Year's Eve. Letting go of the lantern symbolizes letting go of bad things or feelings from the past. I enjoyed watching my worries and troubles sail away into the night sky of Chiang Mai. I'll post more soon about my adventures in the north!

I wonder if blowing bubbles on New Year's Eve has the same effect of letting go of worries, etc.? Happy New Year, Thai Bubba!
