Thai Holiday (Celebrating the End of the Raining Season) in Pattaya 6

This is one of several videos that I made during a holiday in Pattaya, Thailand in November 2008. The holiday, the name of which I forget, is a celebration of the end of the Raining Season. It involves putting small hand-held boats into the water within either the grounds of a Buddhist temple or into the ocean along a beach depending on which of my videos you are watching. The festival takes place at night and fireworks are also involved. The bright-colored things in the water are the little boats that the Thai people put in the water as part of the celebration. It has something to do with the idea of letting your problems drift away, or something to that effect.
