Loi Krathong coincides with the Lanna (northern Thai), known as Yi Peng festival (Thai: Yi Peng) and Yi means "two." means a full moon day, "peng" Yi Peng refers to the full moon day in the month according to the second lunar calendar Lanna (the twelfth lunar month according to the Thai calendar) [5]Swarms of Lanna-style sky lanterns (khom loi (Thai: unfounded), literally: "floating lanterns") are launched into the air where they resemble large shoals of giant jellyfish gracefully floating through the sky fluorescent. The festival is meant as a time for tham bun (Thai: To make merit merit), Khom loi are made from. a thin fabric, such as rice paper, stretched over a frame, bamboo or wire to a candle or fuel cell which is attached When the fuel cell is lit., the resulting hot air is trapped inside the lantern and creates enough lift for the khom loi to float up into the sky.Because they are a hazard to passing aircraft and "...can cause damage to important places in the areas such as the Grand Palace [sic], temples and governmental offices,..." khom loi are increasingly subject to governmental restrictions. In Bangkok in 2014, revellers are prohibited from launching floating lanterns in all event areas from 18:00 on 6 November to 05:00 the next day.[6] Violators may face execution or a life sentence or serve a lighter sentence of 5 to 10 years in prison, if damages are minor. Offenders are also guilty of violating Section 232 of the Criminal Code and that alone carries a sentence of 6 to 7 years in prison and a fine up to 1,000 to 14,000 baht.[7]
