One thing people do often in Thailand, especially at Loy Gratong, is send balloons into the sky. The balloons work like hot air balloons. People light some sort of wick and hold on to the balloon until the air inside heats up and then they release the balloons. The balloons go high up into the sky before running out of fuel and then they come tumbling back down out of the sky. On Loy Gratong Day, you will see hundreds of these balloons in the air. If you are ever coming to visit us here in Thailand, make sure you do not fly on this day as it is very dangerous with all these fire balloons flying through the air.
