Under a Thousand Lights
Even same festival, there are many practices and loots across Thai society.
On the full Moon night of twelfth lunar month, Sad Bear and Sassy Cat are at Wat Phra Sing, Chaing Mai, celebrating Loy Kratong Festival in Lanna style. Instead of floating lantern in river to worship Phra Mae Khongkha, Thai version of Ganga, a goddess of river of Hinduism, they light the candles, a symbol of wisdom.
Under the moonlight, they learn different traditions, a thousand stories to tell.
