Worst Joke Ever 2024

anyone know where to buy those cylindrical loy kratong balloons they launch by lighting those candles on the bottom of them during the festival.

Looking for them in different sizes to decorate a room with it.

Thanks

I am sure they would be available on markets during the Loy Kratong period though would be now?

might there be a shop that sells them year round?

[Dirk_brijs]

Check out that market in Naklua and I am sure that you will find them, best is to take a Thai speaker with you or else a Picture.

Edit: And those Lanterns are not only used during Loy Krahtong.

what Naklua market are you talking about?

the one accross Aksorn school on Tuesdays I think(??)

of the one around the fish market

or the one on Naklua heading to Sukhumvit thats on every day (mainly food)

As always, ask at your local Motorcycle Taxi Rank.

The one around the Fish market quite near Sawang Boriboon. My wife says you have to ask the shops that sell the flowers as there is where she bought them

Nothing there

My local Taxi rank wouldn't even know where to find their own <deleted> if you would ask them lol

anyone else know where to look for those lanterns?

have been driving around and check in some Buddhist specialized shops but no luck?

Sorry about that, my misses honestly bought them there in March (as said a couple of years ago) for a friend of mine from the US who wanted them to take back in the US.

No worries bro I am sure they might have sold them there at one point

wonder where I could find them now though

I think they re cracking down on these bcuz of Aviation Worries,article somewhere about this last week

^ good find. But very expensive, even more expensive then the sellers at Pattaya beach on Loy Krathong

6 lanterns for 163 THB (presumably plus a bit for shipping) is expensive?

[WaywardWind]

I went back and re-read it, and it is confusing.

In one part it says: "Package Includes: 1 pack of Wishing Lantern(2pcs White, 4 pcs Multi-colors)"

And below that it says: "What's in the box: 1 x Chinese Paper Sky Flying Wishing Lantern Lamp Candle Party Wedding Mix Colors Pure White"

Probably worth an email to the Seller ahead of time to clarify.

Presume the people who sell fireworks will sell them, I assume they will be for sale on the beach during Loy Krathong, if they have not been band, (probably even if they have been band).

Not sure if Loy Kathong is the 25th or 26th as full moon is November 25 22:44 UTC so that would be 05:44 on the 26th Thai time...

found some at the large household junk shop behind BigC on 2nd road though only 1 size available (large)

Anyone know of smaller sizes available somewhere?

was hoping on finding 3 different sizes hanging on a ceiling creating a depth feeling to it.
