A car and electric pole in Chiang Rai province were damaged by a sky lantern filled with homemade explosives, 27 Jan 2015.

CHIANG RAI — A car and electric pole in Chiang Rai province were damaged by a sky lantern filled with homemade explosives today.

The incident took place in front of a governmental tax office on Den Ha - San Khong Noi Road at around 1 pm, police say.

The car was damaged by the blast, and burning remnants of the lantern were entangled in wires hanging from a nearby electric pole.

Police later took down the lantern and discovered that at least "ten" homemade fireworks were attached.

Thanorm Phamung, 72-year-old staff at Wat Chetuphon, met with police and told them the lantern was launched from the temple during a religious ceremony.

He did not explain why the lantern was loaded with homemade explosives, but said the temple will compensate anyone who was affected by the incident.

Aviation authorities in the province say Chetuphon notified them about the lantern launch in advance, but did not inform them of the specific equipment involved.

24 year old state employee buys a new car. I would be interested to see where that money came from and how the car was paid for.

Is that guy in the white T-shirt doing what I think he is doing, the perv! No wonder she can afford a brand new car!

Being a state bureaucrat she was probably able to get a loan for that small entry level vehicle. And I don't see anything unwarranted happening in the photograph although perhaps my lack of imagination combined with my lack of disdain for Thais prevents me from seeing whatever it is that you see in the photograph.
